So I have made every attempt to do exactly what John describes. I have all the pictures and files if needed.
Quote:


1) At the beginning does the midi file set CC7 to Zero on the track that was muted?

2Does it stay at zero or does it rise to a reasonable level where the track should be unmuted?

3 Does the midi file play a last held chord?


1) Yes, Reaper shows CC7 drop to zero at the exact bar I muted via F5
2) It stays at zero for the whole song and does not go up when unmuted.
3) Yes, but only if I raise CC7 since I muted all midi tracks and all have CC7=0 across the board.
