Two tools come to mind:
First one is midish

http://caoua.org/midish/
The other is the MIDI-Perl module:

http://interglacial.com/~sburke/midi-perl/
This script for example does split SMF by track:

http://interglacial.com/~sburke/pub/midi_splitter.pl
The problem I see with moving ranges of measures in MIDI files is that

some commands might be issued at the beginning of the SMF, such as

program changes, controller changes, sysex and so on...: those might be

lost after an operation like you are describing.
BTW, if you end up with something we'll be glad if you share your

results :)
