   NOTES
The Open Diapason, Melodia, Salicional, and Octave stops can be drawn
in either the treble or bass.  The lower octave of the Melodia is
shared with the Salicional.  All pipes expect the Bourdon and the
lowest octave of the Open Diapason are enclosed in a swell box; the
Bourdon is behind, and the lowest octave of the Open Diapason is in
the façade.
