Ted and all:
Unfortunately, I am the bearer of bad news this morning.
I was not comfortable with changing my device not to use timestamps
being the answer. In particular, why would it record successfully
(using the bad timestamps) when I recorded into a single track, rather
than into two tracks simultaneously?
So just to be sure, I repeated my test this morning, and to my dismay,
it failed two out of two times. The failure experienced was hanging
when the Stop button was pressed, as before.
So the problem still remains, and the way of duplicating the problem I
sent you earlier will still work.
I don't know why it works sometimes, and fails other times. It may be
the result of missing a note-off event in the recording process, which
happens only some of the time.
This behavior could explain why I wrongly concluded that the problem was
not in the earlier version of Rosegarden.
