note_polyphony

Polyphony limit for playing the same note repeatedly.

Example #

note_polyphony=3

The difference between applying polyphony across one note and using note_polyphony is that note_polyphony also uses note_selfmask which opens up some additional options. With the default setting, lower-velocity notes do not mute higher-velocity ones. This is useful for long-ringing instruments such as piano with the sustain pedal pressed down or hammered dulcimer. It can also be useful for cymbals, although especially with hi-hats, those will often use different notes for different articulations, and note_polyphony would be limited to working within an articulation.
