   As with my other Proteus 2 sequences, I use the 2XR presets
for winds in pairs: Flutes through Bassoons are 65-68. Solos
are within the track (in the 24-30 range).

   In order to get the orchestral parts onto 16 tracks I
have had the Pizzicato Violins and Tremolo Strings share
a track as they thankfully do not play at the same time.
Other instruments each have their own track. The piano
in my original sequence is played on a piano module
(Korg P3) on a separate MIDI Out.

   Note on the timpani track for Proteus 2 owners who do not
use Bars&Pipes Pro: the timpani was transposed up an octave
by E-mu; hence, I use a Bars&Pipes Pro transpose tool to
transpose the track back down. If you don't have Bars&Pipes
Pro, but do have a Proteus 2, I suggest you do the same.
In other words, what you see here is what's in the score.
Other transposing instruments have been transposed to
C. Note also that E-mu transposes the Trombones & Tuba
program down an octave. What you see in this sequence is
the score as written; in the Bars&Pipes Pro version, I
have put a Transpose tool at the end of the track to
raise the track's pitch back up an octave.

   Also, the French horn solo is on program 36.

The piano is put on 2 tracks as Rachmaninoff has the
curious habit of calling for a short note to be played at
the same time this note was sounded earlier in the measure
and it to be somehow held past the point where the shorter
note begins. Therefore, I've put such shorter notes onto
a second track. When I play this sequence the piano is on
a different MIDI port.
