Noel - You said - "I just tried the Acoustic Bass and it sustained for me, too, when I used the chord with three dots C... (I have Coyote WT running as my VST synth)."
Does that mean that you duplicated the problem I'm having?
Yes, creating a volume envelope in Piano Roll and freezing the Bass track does make it fade properly (thank you), but I was hoping for more than a work-around. I have 30+ songs that are involved with this. Anybody know where the control for Held Chords for midi instruments is located?
Looks like it's time to call PG Music Support again. I tried talking to them a while back, but there was only one person there at the time and he wasn't able to duplicate the problem with the files I sent him.

Dave,
I might be wrong but, in my case, I think it might be due to how Coyote WT plays sound 33 (Acoustic Bass). I changed to Cakewalk TTS as my default soft synth this morning and the bass sound died away with the other sounds (as it should). Coyote WT, on the other hand, just plays at a consistent volume and then abruptly stops.
I'll pass this information on to the developers and I'll include a link to this thread so they can read about your problem.
Regards,
Noel

I have done some editing of styles and occasionally had problems with endings. This almost always occurred because I had either deleted the ending for the instrument, or not written one.
When you look at the bass track in the style editor, you see the 'a' and 'b' patterns and below that the ending patterns. Check there to see of the notes are the correct duration for your application

Some soft synths fade naturally over long notes. Others just keep playing through (even if the real acoustic version wouldn't do that). There is nothing in specifying a hold that tells it to fade (for example, an organ wouldn't naturally decay just because it was a long note). So it really is dependent upon the implementation of the soft synth.
As Noel noted, the bass in the TTS-1 soft synth naturally decays; I suspect the Microsoft provided synth (which the CoyoteWT is just a wrapper for) doesn't. I would check it, but not at my music computer right now.
I would try it with a couple of other synths if possible to see what happens.

I tried different synths and nothing changed.
This happens not only at endings but anywhere I put Held Chords in the song.
I use the same style in Audiophile 2016 and it works fine.
Thanks everyone for trying to help me out. If I get a solution from Support I'll post it.
Dave

Dave,
After changing to another synth, did you regenerate the song so as to make sure that the previously generated track didn't impact on the present one?

Noel

Just heard from Support - they were able to duplicate my problem and it has been reported as a bug.
Thanks everybody for your help and thanks Neil for the work-around.
