Thanks.  Note that I now found that if there are two voices on one
staff, taking track 1 channels 0 and 1, only channel 0's instrument
is set, so the second voice sounds as the default piano.

It would be nice to have a test for that to check when it's fixed.

I hope this new solution is better than the previous one: that had
a maximum of 15 staffs + 1 percussion and would wrap around after
16 different staffs/instruments.  Now, we have an unlimited number
of staffs, and 15 voices per staff (or one percussion).  I hope.

Greetings,
Jan.
