Problems with TeeOnArdu (selecting USB type)

So I saw this little project on instructables the other day and it seemed fairly simple so I decided to take a crack at it. This being one of my first Arduino projects I read through most of the important stuff related to the project.

So I got my parts, soldered and connected everything to the arduino Leonardo, installed the Arduino 1.0.6 IDE as well as teensyduino. I then downloaded TeeOnArdu from this page and unzipped it into a hardware folder in the sketchbook folder. Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Plugged in my Arduino and opened the IDE. The tutorial said I should now see a board called TeeOnArdu (Leo on TeensyCore) I could only see TeeOnArdu. When selected I could only change the Serial Port, the USB type and other options were greyed out. After a few google searches I found a few people having the same problem, however they were all using a MEGA board and the problem seemed to be something to do with that. I did a bit more research and came across this version of TeeOnArdu from adafruit which added to the sketchbook folder in the same way. I can now see the TeeOnArdu (Leo on TeensyCore) board type but still can only change the serial port. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

That github read me says:-

So there was no possibility to turn the Leonardo easily into a USB-MIDI device. By easily i mean for example turn it into USB-MIDI and back in the normal Leonardo function without flashing firmware each time.

This is old information and is now superseded.

    The library "MIDIUSB.h" will now allow you to use the Leonardo or Micro as a USB MIDI device.
