This question is something only your musician can possibly
answer, so if you could have your musician look at this, it
would be great.  In order to produce the smallest possible
filesize of a MIDI to be used on the JavaME platform, the
musician avoids using too many controllers and commands within
the track, and try to only set a few parameters once in the
beginning of the track, such as panning and volume. Then we try
to stick with only NOTE_ON and NOTE_OFF events in the track
itself.  I began thinking, that some instruments, like e.g.
drums, theoretically doesn't need a NOTE_OFF event, since they
are very short sounds already. Same goes for a marimba and a
pizza string. So I experimented by removing all NOTE_OFF events
for drums and marimba in a 38kb file, resulting in a 25kb file
with no hear-able difference. That's great! 13kb is a big deal
on the JavaME platform, isn't it?  BUT, now I'm thinking, if I'm
violating the format by doing this "trick". Will it in reality
eat up polyphony and possible crash on
