This is a weird one.  I have a very specific snippet that produces a MIDI file that misses a note-off event when played with the Frescobaldi MIDI player, but not when played from the command line.  If I look at a dump of the MIDI file with lilymidi --pretty, I can see the note-off event is there, but the Frescobaldi MIDI player hangs on to the note anyway.  I'd be surprised if this can be reproduced, but here is the snippet:

%%%
\version "2.25.11"

theNotes = \relative {
  \time 3/4
  \tempo 4 = 200
  % \scaleDurations 3/5 {
  \tuplet 5/3 {
    \clef bass
    r4 r d,( a') r
  }
}

\score {
  \new Voice \theNotes
  \layout {}
  \midi {}
}
%%%

The time signature, tuplet, slur, and two rests at the beginning are all necessary to produce the result.  I am using FluidSynth as my MIDI output.
