Thanks for the clarification. You’ve [warned me against](https://forum.juce.com/t/accessing-midi-events-inside-a-custom-plugin/37193/5) doing this on the audio thread in the past, so I think I’ll stick to plan A for now. I feel like I’m getting close to a solution that will work tolerably well using the `AudioTrack::Listener` to catch notes that have been dropped. If that doesn’t work, I’ll think about the audio thread again.
