This depends, on what you want to do with these notes. Makenote's
behaviour is correct (at least it does, what it says it would do), so
the problem is after it. The note-off of the first note cannot know,
that there will be another note-off later.

If you want polyphony, you need to use [poly] afterwards and route
notes accordingly. A [poly 1 1] will implicitly create a note-off
before the second note comes, whereas a [poly 1] (== [poly 1 0]) will
simply ignore the second, overlapping note altogether. ([poly 2 1]
will route it to the second voice.)

For a monoized synth you might get inspired by
