Thank you for your helpful suggestions, and the useful gif. However, I am still getting some of the same problems as before,
Let me explain exactly what I am doing, in case some of it is is wrong. I click on the Plugins tab of the relevant Track dialog, click the Add button and select FluidSynth DSSI plugin. I then double-click on the name of the newly added plugin, click the Load SoundFont button and select /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 . I close that dialog and select the Track tab. In the Instrument box I select FluidSynth DSSI plugin. At this point I only have instrument numbers (e.g. "71 --") showing next to "Program", so I close and reopen the Track dialog. I then have instrument names showing ("70 - Bassoon").
Although I don't get the Grand Piano sound any more, I am still having problems with instruments getting copied from one track to another. I noticed that after setting Bassoon on one track, the other tracks also showed "Bassoon" although they were still playing the correct sounds. However, after saving and reloading the file, all the tracks were now playing the Bassoon sound.

Why might this be happening?
