Allan,

Sorry for the confusion,  I was trying not to be as "verbose" as I 
was on the previous replies,  I'll try again.

First, there isn't anything you can do to your MIDI files to stop 
this problem.  MIDI sends a "Note ON" command which is followed up 
later on with a "Note OFF" command.  What is happening is that you 
are stopping the playback after the "Note ON" command is sent but 
before the "Note OFF" can be sent, which leaves the note on.

Second part,  I use Cakewalk to edit and play back my MIDI files.  
The previous post stated that when you stop the playback Cakewalk 
sends a "Note Off" command for all notes that are playing.  Here's 
the important part, this is a function of the player and not the MIDI 
file.

Last part,  when I was talking about the MIDI editor I meant your 
MIDI player (for me they are one and the same, sorry for the 
confusion).  I'm not very familiar with the vanBasco player, but I 
looked it up.  There's not a lot of information on line about the 
product, but I did find this little bit about "hanging notes".  If 
this doesn't answer your question then maybe you could ask vanBasco 
tech support if there is any way the player could send a "Note Off" 
for any notes that are playing if you stop a song in the middle.

Here is the "hanging note" text from the vanBasco site, hope this 
helps...

Problem: I experience hanging notes and/or the player occasionally 
freezes and I have to reboot my computer.

Solution: You should first check if the problems occur with all MIDI 
files, or just particular ones. For instance, does the problem occur 
with the sample files that are included with the player? If so, 
please do the following: try changing the output device in the setup 
dialog of vanBasco's Karaoke Player. To do that, click the note 
button in the top-left corner in the main program window and 
choose "Setup...". From the drop-down box labeled "Output Device", 
choose "MIDI Mapper" and select "Windows" as reset mode. In addition, 
make sure that the SYSEX delay is set to 0, and also try disabling 
the option "Start from first note" and "Skip Redundant Data".
