[PD] emulating the behaviour of a midi keyboard: trouble with repeated notes

Ok.  Think about this sequence of events:

Note On 60
Note On 60
Note Off 60
Note Off 60

How should this be interpreted by the voice allocator?

A)
Voice 1 Note On 60
Voice 2 Note On 60
Voice 2 Note Off 60
Voice 1 Note Off 60
|    ----    |
|------------|

B)
Voice 1 Note On 60
Voice 2 Note On 60
Voice 1 Note Off 60
Voice 2 Note Off 60
|    --------|
|--------    |

Think about how you want your voice allocator to behave, and if the 
behaviour of [poly] does not meet your needs, then you probably have to 
write your own voice allocator that does.
