Description
Enhancement Summary
I'd like to have a specific type of note in LMMS that plays for as long as possible, like notes on a piano when pressing the pedal. More specifically, this note should not emit a "note release" event, unless another note of the same MIDI value is pressed, or playback is stopped.
The closest type of note to match this at the moment are the "red notes" that are created when inserting into a MIDI clip in the Pattern Editor. They do not last indefinitely, however. I think they stop after one measure?

Research direction
Start in the Pattern Editor and trace how the existing red notes produce MIDI note events. Define how a pseudo-pedal note should behave for repeated MIDI values and stopped playback, then verify that it avoids note-release events except in those cases.
