Description

I downloaded this midi:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/pzdoigxv83bhiyr/Replacer+-+Song+for+an+Earth+Pony.mid
and imported it into LMMS. It seemed to play fine (albeit with the drums playing as piano) on windows media player. However on LMMS it seems to be missing several tracks, which seem to not have been imported.
I've tried importing other MIDI's, which all work, so I'm not sure why this midi doesn't import correctly.
I'm using LMMS 1.0.2 on windows 7

Research direction

Start by reproducing the import with the attached Replacer - Song for an Earth Pony MIDI archive in LMMS and compare its imported tracks with the source file. Done means identifying why tracks are omitted and ensuring the affected MIDI imports with all expected tracks, or documenting the confirmed limitation.
