Whatever you have in mind for getting GEM to at least recognize that there's a problem and cutting a new version of OS, I'd be standing right behind you. the only other thing I can say about the 'stuck note' is that I don't believe it happens at all when using it with its default sounds and styles intact. It seems to be vulnerable to 'hanging' after making changes. I'll try messing around with it some more to come up with more details. A recipe for disaster, if you will.
