It doesn't say anything about borrowing the midiInstrument as well as quoting the notes. It seems to me that the snippet I submitted is exactly the situation described by the NM. The only question is, why no midi output for the quoted notes? > Message: 4 > Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2015 12:22:51 -0800 > From: "H. S.
