Hi Mark,

Slow days, sorry...

Looks like a bug. If the part is extended the note continues.

Possibly others know more advanced ways to do this, I'm not a very advanced=

I would just duplicate the parts to several tracks, open them in the piano=

roll (double click) and chose the least magnification and block delete=20
everything not needed for each.

Sorry to say, as of yet, MusE only has very basic tools here. There are som=

quantisation methods in the pianoroll but none that I think really fit your=

needs.

I've thought quite a bit about this lately, there are lots of midi tools th=

should be added to MusE, I hope to improve the situation in the coming=20

=46or the moment I guess this one's for protools to handle...  thanks for=20
bringing up your thoughts though!

Wish hard! It might come true ;) Generating/processing midi data is somethi=

that interests me...
