[LAD] basic MIDI note-on/note-off questions

Hi,

I keep getting surprised at some of the most basic problems I run
into... This time, processing order.

1) Notes of zero duration?

Are these legal MIDI? Do I send a note-on with simultaneous note-off?
Or should they simply be ignored?


2) note x ending simultaneously with note y beginning

For example, a sequence of eighth notes, each an eighth in duration.

As far as processing of these events goes, which should be processed first?


Cheers,
James.
