I have the same script extracted from the manuals which was written

I got it home and put it on the ubuntu machine and only the drums
sound. I have lost the "flute" notes? (when played with movie player)
Have I not assigned the midi properly? or is it something weird on
this ubuntu machine.

The Midi support changed shortly before 2.14, so this could be due to
different versions.
Or it could be due to the limited number of instruments supported by
free samples on Ubuntu.
If you try
timidity whatever.midi
you should likely get a warning on the terminal if the file contains
unsupported instruments.
