Hi Pierre,
also the -p argument is quite useful if you use multiple soundcard (like travel setup, studio, etc...), as it allows to choose which profiles you want jack to load.

Using many applications for one project, I found useful the following script.

First, I have one folder where to save all different software patches included in a project. 
I keep one unique name for several file formats, so I can use the script below to launch a studio setup at once indicating the project name as a variable $1. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#! /bin/bash

qjackctl -s -p FocusriteSaffire40 &
sleep 5

ardour2 ../ardour/$1/$1.ardour &
hydrogen $1.h2song &
zynaddsubfx -l $1/$1.xmz &
seq24 --file $1/$1.midi &

exit
