Description
Your idea
When I export to MIDI, and open the MIDI file in my DAW (Logic Pro), there's always very short notes where there invisible notes exist in the MuseScore score.
File>Export>MIDI>Omit invisible would solve this.
See the discussion, relevant score, and image at .org
Problem to be solved
This would produce a cleaner MIDI export that I can immediately use after import to my DAW.
Prior art
I have not encountered this issue in other notation apps.

Research direction
Start with File > Export > MIDI and review the linked MuseScore.org discussion and example score. Trace how invisible notes and multiple same-pitch notes are represented during export; done means the exported MIDI no longer contains the unwanted short notes and supports the requested omit-invisible behavior.
