Yep, I agree.

Thanks, this helps a lot. I see what it means now... wGenNdx points to
the first index (in the same style as PBAG) and I'm actually supposed
to parse n values starting at that index. The way I was interpreting it
originally was that there would be n PBAG values and there'd be a 1:1
mapping between PBAG and PGEN values for a given zone. In other words,
for each PBAG value, I look up the corresponding PGEN value. With the
arrangement of PBAG values I showed in basic.sf2, that would obviously
mean that I'd miss the all-important Instrument PGEN!
