So the odd angles I mentioned previously are because the instrument warped since it was built 300 years ago, and the plans show the instrument exactly as it is. I'm trying to figure out what to do now... the jackrail and upper and lower belly rails are the only things that are at odd angles.
I'm going to add a tapered (wedge-shaped) panel to the keyboard-side of the lower belly rail so it becomes perpendicular. I squared up the jackrail easily by moving the notch in which it sits. The upper belly rail doesn't go in mechanically (just with glue), so I can move that square easily. [Update: April 27]
