I would second that, and suggest that it should apply to almost any organ
that attracts visitors. On more than one occasion, I've walked away from a
"pilgrimmage" organ without being entirely certain that I'd left no
unpleasant surprises, or on at least one occasion, I've even remembered
something I'd forgotten to undo, and had to return in order to take care of
it. A checklist would be good, and if there is a combination action, there
also ought to be a note, card, or sign, indicating which memory level(s) (or
individual piston(s), if only one memory level) a visitor may change (and if
there's a trick to setting pistons, how to do it right, and how NOT to do it).
