to use in your pico-8 game, first copy over sfx 0-7, the custom instruments (you can copy these easily from the pico-8 music tab in sfx view, though you may need to use the sfx tab to paste)
then, in the pattern view, copy over the patterns for the track(s) you need -- this should automatically copy over the needed sfx as well
I tried to keep things relatively accurate to the score, with a few liberties taken here and there in the accompaniment and some chord notes left out where necessary
in addition to the 8 custom instrument sfx, gymnopédie no.1 uses 21 sfx slots, gymnopédie no.2 uses 18 slots, and gymnopédie no.3 uses 17 slots. Collectively they use all 64 slots, so if you need room for other sound effects then choose just one or 2.
the pieces use all 4 channels, though I've tried to arrange them in order of priority:
when all 4 channels aren't needed, I've tried to rearrange things to keep channel 1 free
if you need a loop rather than a complete piece:
