I've taken a quick look at the manual for the GR-20, and it indeed seems to work as described in this link: a Control Change "Bank Select MSB" message followed by a Program Change message.

The nice thing about the BCF and BCR is that they acoommodate this message combination for both buttons and encoders if you set the "MIDI Data Type" parameter (to use the manual's term) to "Program Change".

I'm not sure if the BCR can automatically select this via its Learn feature.
However, it's very easy to program buttons and encoders manually on the BCR: simply choose "PC" (Program Change) and set a particular Bank MSB value.
Or you can use a software editor like my own BC Manager, particularly if you want to set up a whole range of buttons/encoders.

See also sections 15.2 and 16.2 in my "BC MIDI Implementation.pdf" (particularly the "MIDI Output" sections).

Hope this helps,
   Mark.
