Tinkerer - SplitNotes


Split notes :(

   Split notes are a notorious problem with midi files...
   Sometimes, you'll find a note down (noteon) with NO note up (noteoff).
   Or visa versa.

   So one half the note is missing.

   One thing that can cause this is the way PianoCheater/Tinkerer
      load midi files.
   An attempt is made to clean up the midi file
      so each track has ONLY one sound.

   When a program change event happens between a noteon and noteoff,
      you MAY get a noteon in the first track and a noteoff in the second.
      I won't bore you with my gripes about midi files.
      This is a problem I haven't solved yet.
      The song will play just fine, but you'll see wierd
         "going on forever" notes in Tinkerer.

   One way around this is Tinkerer's "note fixer".
      There's a toolbar button - hover to find it...

      It pairs up an extra noteon or noteoff event with the split notes.
      It'll also adjust note durations and velocities :)

   Also, you can view a report of unpaired notes when Tinker loads a song
      via DbgView
   And NoteFix shows you what it's doing via DbgView, too.
   Bug Steve if you need help ;)
