Greetings Robert,

My midimod2test program has the ability to change the pedal on and off
values in a folder full of MIDI files. If this is the problem with
files that have on off pedaling, they can be easily fixed with this
program. The option to limit the values is found under the "other
options" menu. The program also inserts full off pedal commands at the
end of the file to make sure the pedal does not stay on forever.
However, if a file is not allowed to play to completion, the pedal may
stay on. The program may be found on the following page:
