Incorrect note values in IT. #5

I converted "gbt-10.spc" from "Gokinjo Boukentai" into an IT file. (http://www.zophar.net/music/spc/gokinjo-bouken-tai.html) The IT file plays correctly, but the notes are incorrectly labeled. For example at row 188 in the first pattern, there are these notes: D6, F5, A#5, E5, D#5, B5... If the notes were correct, this would be a very dissonant chord! Also, I tried to play the note C5 with different samples, and no two notes sounded the same. After converting the SPC to a MID (with another tool), the notes on the same row were the following: E6, G3, C6, A4, C5, E5... A minor 7th chord.

I know this doesn't affect playback, but it makes analysis of songs very difficult. I think the problem is that the samples are transposed on the wrong notes, which also means altering the note values of the song (for it to play correctly).

gbt-10.spc in that archive isn't there, but in snesmusic.org I'll check that.
