Hello,

Trying to have an organ on my PC computer, I have some questions about
the %%MIDI pseudo-comments:

- in abc2midi, the documentation says the MIDI program is in the range
  1..128, while it seems to be in the range 0..127. Where is the truth?

- setting the <channel> in the '%%MIDI program', does it also set the
  channel of the current voice, or does it set only the specified
  channel?

  Example:
        X:1
        K:C
        V:1
        %%MIDI program 1 12
        %%MIDI program 2 0
        ...
        V:2
        ...
   (what are the channels of each voice, and what are their presets?)

- my sound card accepts many MIDI banks. How could I specify them?
  One solution is to have 'program = (bank * 128) + preset',
  the other one is to have an extension of the '%%MIDI program' to include
  the bank as a prefix in the preset:

        %%MIDI program [channel] [bank-]program

  Example:
        %%MIDI program 1-12

- as I told above, I'm trying to have a pipe organ on my computer, and
  such instruments play many channels at the same time. Is there any
  problem to have many channels in the '%%MIDI channel' pseudo-comment?

  Example:
        X:1
        ...
        % Jeux14.sf2 definitions
        %%MIDI program 1 0      % Montre 8
        %%MIDI program 2 1      % Prestant 4
        %%MIDI program 3 2      % Doublette 2
        K:C
        V:1
        %%MIDI channel 1 2 3
        ...
