Have you looked at section 16 of the BC Manager manual?
This describes the SysEx model definition file format in detail - there's even a section on Yamaha.
You might also look at AN200.ini (included in the BC Manager package, extracted to the Models subfolder), which looks rather similar to what you'd have to write for your RM50.

I think the header has to look something like this:

[MODEL]
ProgramName=BC Manager
ProgramVersion=2.3.0
ManufacturerName=Yamaha
ManufacturerID=43
ModelName=RM50
ModelID=30
DevicePosition=WithCommand
MinDevice=0
MaxDevice=F
DefaultDevice=0
Command=1
AddressLength=5
ChecksumMethod=
ChecksumStart=
FileVersion=1.0.0
FileAuthor=[Your name]
Comment=[Bla bla...]

(ModelID and AddressLength are crucial here. The other items are mostly the standard Yamaha values.)

Then for each parameter you need to include a line specifying the address (5 bytes), the range, the "val..." and the description.

E.g. the parameter you've been discussing needs a line like:

03 06 00 00 02 | 00 00 - 01 7F | val7.13 val0.6 ;user voice bank: voice 1: pitch

Hope this helps,
Mark.
