time correct/note repeat and durations

what am i missing here? if you are using note repeat, then you are basically telling the machine, 'i am going to hold down a pad and i want you to repeat the note while i do this'.
the key thing to notice is 'hold down the pad'.
how are you even doing different length note-offs, if you are holding down the pad?

I think it makes sense (at least to me) that note repeat function would assign the maximum possible value of duration. You are indeed holding key or keys when you are using note repeat, so what duration would be chopped up and recorded accordingly. (So 1/16th note (four note in one beat) on auto repeat, 96/4 = 24)

Long ago, I found out that if previous note is too long, and it reaches the next sequence of the same key, that sequence would be ignored (I think this is what Tapedeck mentioned above.) It makes sense (it is like try to press a key that hasn’t been released), but it took me a bit to figure out.

It's possible to lift your finger off the pad before the next note, in some cases it makes an accent because the release is different than the decay... I know I'm hearing these effects while I'm performing it, and the recorded MIDI track doesn't sound the same unless I go back in and STEP EDIT the durations. The big clue is that it's probably the note with the lowest velocity, or the one next to it.

thanks everyone for approaching this seriously, I realize now how insane and miniscule a caveat this is
I'm generally using STEP EDIT anyways,
