There is some command for that...maybe split/demix by pitch or something like 
that. I am not confident you'll get the result you want, unless its a 
gregorian chant with four voices throughout the piece. a real piece of music with 
various lines will have times when one instrument is playing or four. What I 
would do, is play it on the keyboard, open the midi in the matrix or score window 
and select all but the top voice, and mute the notes. Then copy the whole 
sequence, and unmute the bottom but mute the top, and so forth. Then copy the 
whole thing again. eventually you will have one track for each part, then you can 
fine tune which instrument is playing which note.

you might want fix any mistakes in the midi first before starting this 
process. also color each sequence a different color, then open the matrix window and 
choose the option show object colors, and double click on the background of 
the matrix window to show all sequences at once.

another trick is to transpose each sequence (select all in the matrix and 
drag up a notch). Say first one is normal, second one is up one note ,third is up 
two half steps, and so forth. then when   you open them in the matrix you can 
see if any notes are covered twice or not covered at all. then re-transpose 
back to correct pitch.
