Which makes it far too much work to be worth it.

I've done this sort of thing for years. Adding a hidden bass staff to a
cello staff takes only seconds. Adding the harpsichord staff depends on
what from what you are copying - if that music is already written, again
only seconds. If you need to realize it, it will take longer. If the
whole thing was realized to start and you need to explode a cello part
from a keyboard part to start, that will take a few minutes. (Sorry I
haven't been reading the thread carefully from the start to know exactly
the condition of the original staff or staves.) But to insist on three
patches for playback from one channel, seperate control of each, with
different octaves, may be asking a bit much.
But I agree that a continuo setup with figured bass figures that could
optionally play back would be an excellent area for MM to explore.
There would have to be patch choices on the bass instrument, with the
option of adding an 8ba instrument. Could work!
