Adapting MIDI Files to Play a Small Street Organ

Hello, John.  I'm in the process of building a large band organ/dance
organ, but am building it with several conventional pipe organ features,
namely 16' registers and completely chromatic ranks.  Basically, I'm
attempting a theatre organ with a Wurlitzer 165 player, but also
capable of playing MIDI files, and handling orchestral transcriptions
via MIDI.

In short, I'm able to handle the organ-building and music-arranging
part of the project, but the arranging is, as you say, tedious, and the
programming part is beyond me.  I'm most interested in your arranging
software.
