Re: Staff Names: some comments

[Joe Wilkinson]

    Hi Richard: It looks as if the individual instruments should be easy
    to add (sort of, as my midi is not VERY tone-accurate).
    
    The staff-range lo & hi are presumably what is used to register
    notes "out of range of instrument" 
    I assume "0" is Middle C since a flute starts there. Guitar would
    start 12 notes below Middle C which is  G and rise to the first D on
    the top string (which wouldn't give many rock guitarists much
    scope). The piccolo must start on D transposed up an octave; the
    Alto Sax start on -1 + (transpose) -9 or 10 notes below middle C
    which would be an E (flat) as expected.
    And the midi programme number is tabulated somewhere.
    
    But are the rest of the items significant; has figures and has fake
    chords mean nothing to me.
    Midi channel presumably is decided by denemo, since when I change it
    I get a complaint!
    Is this a case of its being set by an (If (number=true) then use
      number, else use default) process?
    
    There are only 4-5 "Brass instruments" given a midi channel; I
    assume that, for example, a cornet would use a "trumpet" midi with a
    different range.
    
    I am happy to do the basic ones if you wish. And I'd correct the
    guitars to have the right names (the acoustic guitar comes in a
    Steel Guitar) and a larger range. 
    Best wishes
    Joe
