Not that this would cure the problems Julie described, but very often I find
it extremely handy to merge different programs into one and divide them in
octaves.
So, let's say you have two string patches, one legato, one pizzicato. I
would then just open both of them in the EXS editor, do a "Select All" in
one patch copy themn to the other patch. In the target patch I do then use
the "Shift selected zones left/right (inc. root key)" command to divide
them.
Sure this requires a relatively large master keyboard but it often made my
work way more easier.

I know, not a perfect solution though - multitimbrality and an option to
simultaneously use more than one virtual instrument in realtime would help
quite a bit more.
