The system doesn't play back the last note of a measure - the midi simply leaves the note out. End of story! #424

Can you please attach an example file to reproduce the issue?

The attached file is a simple example that plays back correctly in my testing midi_playback.pt2.zip

In words should be enough. There are pieces of music where the music stops playing one note before that end, that's all. The system needs logic to clean the scores up. The scores become polluted in the files that store the information. The reason this happens is that the system is not designed to avoid these problems from the start. It's a design issue, not a simple bug. The system is not adhering to standards of software design practice that store information separately from it's display. The system should NEVER have skipped a note in a score. I had to delte the note from the piece of music by working around it and simply eliminating that note from the piece which worked out ok. The files containing the scores and midi become a mess - they storage needs to be resdesigned so it uses techiques of model view controller. I know it doesn't use those techniques. It needs to be rewritten a little bit to use Model View Controller techniques. End of story. A person transcribing music has to spend much of their time wrestling terribly so with the bugs. The bugs are everywhere and many are show-stoppers and cause us to have to start over yet another time because the files become a piece of trash. I just copied and pasted three measures of music due to a repeated part of a piece, but the pasted notes are without the barlines necessitating me to have to insert them now, a time-consuming task.

It's not just one bug that I'm talking about - it's a design issue.

As for your file that plays the last note, I also have files that play the last note. That's not the issue. It's that if even ONE file becomes corrupt, it's the fault of the software, not the writer of the tablature.

Sorry, but I cannot fix bugs that I can't reproduce. If you have a file that exhibits the issue, please attach that so I can investigate, but otherwise there's not much I can do.
