To quote from the GS standard:

|
| Single: If the same note is played multiple times in succession, the
| previously-sounding note will be completely silenced, and then the new
| note will be sounded.
|
| LimitedMulti: If the same note is played multiple times in succession,
| the previously-sounding note will be continued to a certain extent
| even after the new note is sounded. (Default setting)
|
| FullMulti: If the same note is played multiple times in succession,
| the previously-sounding note(s) will continue sounding for their
| natural length even after the new note is sounded.
|
| * ASSIGN MODE is the parameter that determines how voice assignment
| will be handled when sounds overlap on identical note numbers in the
| same channel (i.e., repeatedly struck notes).
IIRC the XG standard has a similar parameter.

A string of note-ons following each other all for
the same pitch n without
any intervening note-offs for pitch n, IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE provided
they are INTENTIONAL and NOT accidental.
Yes, except for that this is an absurdity that could only happen by
accidental programming.
