 .B \-v
 Verbose.
+.TP
+.B \-M \fI<bank>:<instrument>=<layer>\fR
+Make the given velocity \fIlayer\fR the default for \fIbank:instrument\fR,
+this affects programs which do not know howto handle the extended GUS patch
+format, as they will always play the default layer, and this determines which
+layer gets written when using \fB-s\fR.  
+.TP
+.B \-D \fI<bank>:<instrument>=<layer>\fR
+Same as \fB-M\fR but then for drum banks.
