Thanks to the on-list & off-list replies. Indeed, I guess that it does mean
non-polarized, as shown in the Input/Output Connections section of the SLMS
documentation page, seen here:
http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth/SOUNDLABMINISYNTH/soundlab.html#INPUTOUTPUT

(If the long URL is a problem, go to
http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/,
then click "Sound Lab Mini-Synth Home Page,"
then click "Input/Output Connections." It's on the right side of the
diagram.)

It actually says non-polarized there, which may be where I got that
impression. (Of course I read all of the documentation before starting this
project, right?! Ahem... ;-)

The cap wasn't *too* hard to find, if C0G is really the same as NP0. For the
curious, Kemet makes them and Mouser has them for 36 cents each, part
