Are you trying to assert that absurdities (and accidental programming) do *not* happen quite often in music? ;-) To quote from the GS standard: | Address: 40 1x 14, Parameter: ASSIGN MODE, | 0 = SINGLE, 1 = LIMITED-MULTI, 2 = FULL-MULTI | | Single: If the same note is played multiple times in succession, the | previously-sounding note will be completely silenced, and then the new | note will be sounded. | | LimitedMulti: If the same note is played multiple times in succession, | the previously-sounding note will be continued to a certain extent | even after the new note is sounded. (Default setting) | | FullMulti: If the same note is played multiple times in succession, | the previously-sounding note(s) will continue sounding for their | natural length even after the new note is sounded. | | * ASSIGN MODE is the parameter that determines how voice assignment | will be handled when sounds overlap on identical note numbers in the | same channel (i.e., repeatedly struck notes). IIRC the XG standard has a similar parameter.
