It seems that pysf has added the loops. I don't know why. Ben Collver is
pysf's author and he is usually on this list, maybe he could help us.

Loops are added when rebuilding the sf2 this way:

pysf.py --sf2xml Steinway_IMIS2_backup.sf2 Steinway_IMIS2.xml
pysf.py --xml2sf Steinway_IMIS2.xml Steinway_IMIS2.sf2

I've made another quick fix. For now, if you want you can use the
attached script to remove the loops. Just run this on the directory
where Steinway_IMIS2.1.xml is:

ruby no-loops.rb

It will create Steinway_IMIS2.2.xml.

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'rexml/document'

xml = REXML::Document.new(File.read('Steinway_IMIS2.1.xml'))
xml.root.elements.delete_all '//loop'

File.open('Steinway_IMIS2.2.xml', 'w') do |f|
	xml.write(f, 0, false, true)
	f.print "\n"
end
