Magma Help with Sustains

Guitar Hero had a gimmick that I really miss – combining a long sustain on one button with notes played on others, i.e., long orange sustain coupled with green-red-yellow-red-green-red-yellow. This doesn’t seem to be legal in RB and causes magma errors.
Does anyone know of a work-around?
Get rid of the offending sustains, build a proper CON file. Open it with C3 CON Tools, export the .mid file with the offending sustains, replace the old one.

It will just make you miss the other notes. For example if it was a green sustain and added red and you strummed red, it should get rid of the held green sustain.
Everyone forgets that Magma will override the MIDI file in the CON if you put an override.mid file in the project folder and enable it in the ADVANCED OPTIONS.

I honestly gave up telling people how to author properly for the platform.

I totally forgot about that feature, mostily because I DON’T GO AROUND MAKING NON-MAGMA COMPLIANT MIDI.

Obviously not, but he asked about a workaround for “it” breaking Magma. Some workarounds were offered, but by far not the easiest ones, which is what I recommended.
Whether it will work in game or not depends to the game engine…and obviously that’s separate. But plenty of things “work” in game that break Magma and don’t agree with any kind of rule, so it justifies having the override function.
