[Ardour-Users] more input sought on other MIDI sequencer behaviour

[Paul Davis]

thanks to everyone for feedback on how other MIDI sequencers handled
overlapping notes - ardour now has the "do nothing" option as the
default.

another similar question has arisen which i think can best be settled
by comparison with existing sequencers. the question is: what happens
when you split an existing region in the middle of a note. at present
i can see 3 possibilities:

   1) the earlier region sends a note off at its right (later)
boundary, the later region never sends any note commands related to
the split note
   2) the earlier region sends a note off at its right (later)
boundary, the later region sends a note on at its left (earlier)
boundary
   3) neither region sends any extra note on or note off commands

there may be others. i'd really appreciate it if people could report
back. the best way to get an answer will not be from listening, but
from using some kind of MIDI monitor. the effect of a note off is not
always clearly audible, especially if simultaneously (more or less)
followed by a note on for the same pitch.
