This includes fixing em-dashes, badly spaced colons, various
misspellings, removal of spurious {% %} constructs, conversion of <br />
to <br> (still too many <br>s kicking around), and initial light cleanup
of a few sections that caught my eye.

Every MIDI note consists of two messages, a NoteOn and a NoteOff. Each one
|
|
has a note number and a channel (also a velocity, but that isn't relevant
|
|
here). The MIDI standard stresses that it is invalid to send a second NoteOn
|
|
for the same note number on the same channel before a NoteOff for the first
|
|
NoteOn. It is more or less impossible to do this with a physical MIDI
|
|
controller such as a keyboard, but remarkably easy to trigger when editing
|
|
in a DAW—simply overlapping two instances of the same note will do it.

Ardour offers many options for how to deal with instances where you overlap
|
|
two instances of the same note. Which one to use is a per-session property
|
|
and can be modified from <kbd class="menu">Session > Properties > Misc > MIDI
|
|
Options</kbd>.

Changing the option in use will not retroactively make changes—it will
|
|
only affect new note overlaps created while the option remains chosen.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="warning">
|
|
Ardour does not check for note overlaps across tracks or even across regions.
|
|
If you create these, it is your responsibility to deal with the consequences.
