Sequencer Note events...?

Sequencer Note events...?

[David Olofson]

I've noticed that there is a Note event type (the one with duration 
and Off velocity), and means for sending it.

Does this mean I should also expect to receive such events? I've never 
seen an example program handle this event, so I initially assumed 
that it's actually a macro event that will be turned into separate 
Note On and Note Off events by the sequencer.

What's the deal?

yes, exactly.  the sequencer core resents the note-off event replaced
from the original note event after the given duration.

...and it also replaces the Note event with a Note On event, so I 
don't have to see the actual Note event at all...?

no.  it doesn't appear as a received event.
