Hi, again.

Paul, your further description convinces me that the instrument needs some mechanical attention followed by calibration. A Mark IIXG should not drop notes on playback. Pedal data recorded by the internal sequencer should match data recorded by an external sequencer. 

You might want to make sure that your sequencer does not have MIDI Thru or MIDI Echo turned on.

Regards,
PianoBench
