Change the number of tracks in the library header file to suit your application. The more tracks the less memory you have available for other things.

The parameter to change is in the MIDI_MAX_TRACKS define MD_MIDIFile.h file
#define MIDI_MAX_TRACKS 16

It was set to 24 in the previous release but I had a number of people who could not open files because of insufficient RAM. It was 16 in the version before that. Most MIDI files have 16 or less tracks, as this was a limit in the original specification.
