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 ;)
