Does anyone know of a setting/feature where synthesia only displays the down press on the notes and not the hold time?

This could be really usefull feature for practicing hold times as well as fixing this issue i keep getting with dodgey midi downloads

I suppose the main question to ask in that case is "how long should Synthesia depict a note block"? Should it just be the tiniest possible stub? Or something like an 8th note? What about notes (that can be correctly detected) as being shorter than an 8th note?

Maybe there should just be a kind of "repair" step when Synthesia detects notes that never appear to end, where it caps just those off at a quarter-note length or something...

I dont think it needs to be that complex. Just a simple toggle option for "Held Notes" on/off should work.

Make it so it only shows enough of the note to display the note text/name.
This would also be very usefull for learning how long to hold notes without relying on the visuals to match.
