Yes, that is known. There are a few other rendering issues like this, involving
tied triplets. However, the playback should still be correct.

External MIDI is one of those areas that hasn't gotten a lot of exercise. I am
pleased that you were able to get it to work.

That sounds like an OS or Java problem rather than an Impro-Visor specific one.
I'll look into it, although I have never noticed this, and I do switch apps a
lot.

Currently there is no way. This is on the wish list.
