// note: ch 2 "ACOUSTIC GUITAR" named as a guitar, played on acoustic guitar steel (its epiano2 patch is not one)
// note: duplicate parts dropped: ch 6 "BRASS" trombone (copy of ch 5 "STRINGS" tremolo strings); ch 7 "FRENCH HORN" french horn (copy of ch 5 "STRINGS" tremolo strings)
// note: Full arrangement: all 81 bars on a 16-step grid, each part at one level; ghost notes are separate "_soft" parts. Source detail keeps the original performance.
