// note: pitch bends are ignored
// note: ch 6 "Organ" named as an organ, played on drawbar organ (its brass section patch is not one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 11 "Melody" lead 1 square (copy of ch 4 "Melody" lead 1 square); ch 5 "Rhy.Guitr" electric guitar muted (copy of ch 7 "Gtr 2" overdriven guitar, 0.083 beats early)
// note: Full arrangement: all 127 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level. Source detail keeps the original performance.
