Improve songs 1-16, 19: humanize, reverb, velocity dynamics

Browse Source 
- humanize=0.2 added to all melodic parts (leads, basses, bells)
- Subtle reverb (0.1-0.2) on bass parts that had none
- Per-note velocity dynamics on all leads (was static)
- Blues lead changed from trumpet to saxophone (more fitting)
- Songs 17-18, 20-26 left untouched (already well-crafted)
