I should have been more specific.  I was referring to Type 1 SMF files.
In Type 0 files, there is only one track (with up to 16 channels), and
the "hole" you're seeing is an unused channel, not track.  If you have
any multi tracks, or have tracks not lined up with channels (i.e.
trk1->ch3, trk2->ch1, etc), saving as a type 0 file will destroy this
ordering.  If you're using just the standard internal 1 to 1 mapping and
aren't using external gear, you should be fine with type 0.
