Aha! But then the workaround is simple: just assign each track a
different instrument. Having written MIDI::Tweaks[1] this is a piece
of cake ;).

After that I ran in the following problem: NtEd occasionally produces
notes that are not in the midi data. So in the LP export I get
StaffAVoiceA with all notes, and StaffAVoiceB with all rests and a
spurious note.

Also it sometimes gets the accidentals wrong because apparently the
key signature is applied to the first track only. So with key F major,
note 70 on track 1 becomes B flat, but on the other tracks it becomes
A sharp.

I've got demo data if you're interested. Contact me off-list.
