Yes, is that a problem?  Won't this allow midi2ly to nicely recreate the
original, instead of from the previous merged output?

Does midiChannelMapping == #'staff still produce the old output?

Isn't that the case?  That would be weird, audio_staffs should be
created as they appear and still in the same order as before.

Good question.  I think it would be nice if lyrics would be added to the
track of their lyricsto-voice.

Weird.  I would very much appreciate small test cases that I can add
to the midi test suite!
