Here's the MIDI layout I use for the Coinola and Cremona emulations.
Lay it out like this and it could be cut by Custom Music Rolls. Tube
it like this and it could play an O-roll transcription.
The MIDI numbers are those used by CAKEWALK.
[ MIDI note 60 is Middle C, as defined in the MIDI Specification,
[ thus it will be the same number in every MIDI file. Not so for
[ the note names! -- Robbie

* The solo instruments double the piano from the high A down 32 notes.
The same range of the piano can be shut off to allow the solo
instruments to really play "solo".
** In other words, you'd tube the trackerbar ("midibar") to sound
an octave lower.
