For those of you who download a lot of MIDI files from the Internet,
minimum inter-note spacing is an important factor.  On a synthesizer
repetition will often sound fine but on an acoustic instrument it can
disappear.  To correct this with very little effort I use a special
CAL program, "unlap31", within the Cakewalk MIDI editor.  This allows
you the set the minimum gap between any successive notes.

P.S.: I have just recently taken delivery of a brand new self-contained
MIDI-operated concert organ from David Leach in England.  Voiced at
only 1-3/4 inches of water, it plays wonderful, light classical music
on 180 pipes but has a much smaller footprint than a piano.  In addition
to being a master organ builder, David is a superb music arranger.
