[in menu Analyse]

This operation calculates the maximum number of notes playing at same time (considering influence of used piano pedals).

It displays a message box with following info:
·number of notes playing at same time  
·time position where this number of notes are playing (hour:minute:second:millisecond)  
·MIDI position where this number of notes are playing (in MIDI units)  

Notes that are not stopped correctly can increase the calculated maximum note polyphony. If the value is high and the position is near end of song then you should check if the song contains hanging notes.

Hint: open logfile to find the list of notes playing at the position with maximum polyphony (at end of file).
Hint: pedal may hold notes that already received note off till hold off is received. With sounds like piano this cannot be noticed (piano automatically gets silent after some time).
Use sound like organ that play till turned off correctly.
