If you are using Geany under *nix, with a GUI that supports sessions (kde, xfce, maybe gnome), you can do the following:
1. Patch geany for x11 session management - see the patch tracker.
2. Don't Quit it, but logout (shutdown, restart) instead. The sm will save your configuration in a separate .conf file.
3. Using Quit, or Edit -> Preferences -> OK / Apply, will save your current settings in geany.conf - including the "local" ones.
Hope this can be somewhat useful to you.

However, maybe splitting "session" things out might help towards a better support for saving multiple instance configurations, and if we see that such changes would help on that subject too, the noise might be worth. Dimitar, Eugene, Nick, Matthew, Lex..., thoughts?
The sm patch supports any number of separate instances, each with it's own configuration.
Putting more settings into the project files will help - that's their raison d'etre in the first place.
As of multiply instances that share their configuration to some(?) extent, we had this discussion at least twice, and could not reach a conclusion.
