This is the exact note where it happens. It happened on two different MIDI versions of Canon in D, in the same place. As you can see the notes are being pressed, the software displays it as such; but Piano Booster just doesn't continue as if the keys weren't pressed. I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know what could possibly be causing this issue? I haven't found an alternative to Piano Booster and this is the only song this happens with.

Found all of these which are rare in Australia. Pretty good day shopping. If you live on the gold coast in Australia must visit Tutti Frutti shop in Helensvale. They have the most energy drinks I've seen here and 50 different flavours at least between all the brands.

The Shadow in the Mirror Story and image by Hotpot AI
Dale Balford's heart raced as he stared into the mirror, his reflection staring back at him with a sinister grin. He blinked, and the reflection blinked too. He moved his hand, and the reflection moved in perfect synchronization. But then, something changed. The reflection's smile turned into a sneer, and it moved away from his movements, as if it had a mind of its own.
At first, Dale dismissed it as a trick of the light or his imagination playing tricks on him. But as the days went by, the reflection in the mirror became more and more independent, doing things that Dale didn't do. It would wave at him when he didn't wave, or make faces at him. It was like a dark shadow, lurking in the mirror, waiting to pounce.
Dale's unease turned into fear as the figure in the mirror became more malevolent. It would mock him, whispering cruel words that only he could hear. It would mimic his every move, but with a twisted and sinister twist. Dale couldn't escape it, no matter how hard he tried. It was always there, lurking in the mirror, waiting for him. He was afraid to use the mirror, but was also constantly compelled to, because what was happening was so weird and impossible.
As the days turned into weeks, Dale's life became consumed by the dark figure in the mirror. He couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't focus on anything else. He was constantly on edge, waiting for the figure to make its next move. He knew he had to do something, but he didn't know what. He couldn't even bring himself to tell anyone about it, for fear of being labeled as crazy.
But then, one night, the figure in the mirror did something that sent chills down Dale's spine. It stepped out of the mirror and into the room. Dale could feel its cold breath on his neck as it whispered in his ear, "I am free now, and I will never leave you."
Dale's mind raced as he tried to figure out what was happening. How could a reflection come to life? Was he losing his mind? But then, he remembered something from his childhood. A story his grandmother used to tell him about a dark entity that could possess mirrors and torment its victims. Could it be true? Was this figure in the mirror that very entity?
Determined to find answers, Dale began intense research, scouring books and the internet for any information on the dark entity. He discovered that it was indeed real, and it was known as a "mirror demon." According to the legends, the only way to banish it was to find its origin and destroy it.
Armed with this knowledge, Dale searched his house for any clues. He found an old, dusty mirror in the attic, covered in strange symbols and markings. He knew this was it. This was the source of the mirror demon. With trembling hands, he smashed the mirror, hoping it would banish the entity for good.
But instead, the figure in the mirror only grew stronger. It laughed at Dale's feeble attempt to banish it and began to torment him even more. Dale was at his wit's end. He didn't know what else to do. He was trapped in a never-ending nightmare, with no escape in sight.
But then, a glimmer of hope appeared. In his research, Dale had come across occult information a ritual that could banish the mirror demon once and for all. It was a dangerous and risky ritual, but Dale was desperate. He gathered all the necessary items described in the information: the main mirror and the more suspect mirror, a Holy Bible, three feathers, the bones of a bird, and the blood of a lizard (this was not easy or pleasant to obtain).
On the next full moon, Dale stood in front of his mirror, trembling with fear and determination. He had been haunted by the demon that lived within it for far too long, and he knew it was time to take matters into his own hands. With the mirror from the attic in one hand and a Holy Bible in the other, he began the ritual that he had researched and prepared for weeks. He placed three feathers on the ground, representing the trinity of good, and then carefully arranged the bones of a bird, symbolizing the demon's weakness. Finally, he took the blood of a lizard and poured it over the mirror, chanting the ancient words of banishment that he didn't really understand.
As the ritual reached its climax, the mirror began to shake violently, and the man could feel the demon's presence growing weaker. With one final cry, he smashed the hand mirror against the cursed one, shattering it and breaking the demon's hold on his life. The room fell silent, and the man could finally breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that he had successfully exorcised the demon from his mirror.
As soon as he finished the ritual, the room was filled with a blinding light, and the mirror demon let out a blood-curdling scream. And just like that, it was gone. Dale collapsed to the ground, exhausted but relieved. He had finally banished the entity that had been tormenting him for so long.
But Dale couldn't shake off the feeling that it wasn't over. He knew that the mirror demon could always find a way back, and he had to be vigilant. From that day on, he made sure to never have any mirrors in his house, for fear of the entity's return.

Good evening fellow Healthcare_Anon members
As previously discussed, we will go ahead and review a case study of the vertical integration of the various services of the healthcare industry, which if done correctly, does indeed post a very big beast and will be difficult to compete against. It will be like the multi-headed hydra within Greek Mythology, where failure of one head will have the support of another. This again ties into the post previously prepared:

Which stemmed from a discussion post thanks to u/ Fabulous-airport-273:

Since this paper will be quoted quite extensively, we will give full acknowledgement of the authors' work:
Rooke-Ley H, Brown E, Grumbach K, Hoffman A, Ryan A, Roy V, Grogan C, Appelbaum E, Lipschutz D. Medicare Advantage and Vertical Consolidation in Health Care. American Economic Liberties Project, April 2024. Available: https://www.economicliberties.us/our-work/medicare-advantage-and-vertical-consolidation-in-health-care/#, accessed 05/19/24 (for this subreddit post)
We thank our readers on sending us important topic papers, and we encourage others on submitting literature that could concern the future of healthcare.
Since this paper is indeed a beast, and we are discussing vertical integration within this post only, we will jump directly to page 17 of the paper titled: "A NEW FRONTIER OF CONSOLIDATION". We will discuss Neoliberal economics, capitation consensus (page 1-16), the RAND Insurance experiment, and other important topics AT A LATER DATE.
"These vertical acquisitions are frequently framed as value-based care (VBC) investments. In primary care alone, it is estimated that $50 billion has been invested by these corporate entities in recent years, with similar activity in home-based and post-acute care. And private equity is lubricating these rollups, increasing investment in VBC-aligned companies by more than 400% between 2019 and 2021. As one PE investor recently said, “All roads lead to Optum.”"

As you can see from the above graph, UnitedHealth Group, CVS Health, Cigna, and Humana have very very similar graphs on their goals of vertical integration. All players uses an insurance to "funnel" the cash through their subsidiaries. I do not agree that the graph should look like a chain ring, as the funneling always STARTS with the insurance and then "trickles down" through the subsidiaries, but not always in a linear fashion. The overall "value" will be its earnings/profits. It is through the initial funneling that this produces the value added parts of subsection (or chain, in the graph). What this graph lacks, which the 10K and 10Q can furnish, is this: how much money do you think the funneling is occurring? I think we can answer that question with my own work - the Excel for 10K on UNH between 2021-2024:

https://www.unitedhealthgroup.com/content/dam/UHG/PDF/investors/2024/UNH_Q1-2024_Form-10-Q.pdf
Now, I want you all to look at something very interesting: There is a section called eliminations, what I think this means is that there is a revenue that is both reported within one segment of UNH that has to be "eliminated" since it is also reported within another segment. My guess is Optum and UHG is crossing over their revenues in certain spots, since UHG is referring patients to Optum, which is under the same umbrella as UNH.
As you can see, each year the eliminations is a higher percentage. In fact, it is now > 33% and approaching 40%. Or another way of saying this more clearly - we don't know why this is the case, but it seems UHG is having more and more patients being served by Optum, and so the eliminations revenue is higher % each year, which all goes under the parent company UNH. In fact, if you eliminate the eliminations, revenue of both UHG + Optum combined is higher than UNH - which cannot happen if the revenue comes from an outside source. We can even track its YoY trend.
Let us turn to the profits section. Again, very similar story. Between 2021-2023, UHG + Optum profit is greater than UNH profits, which indicates that UHG is directing a certain portion of the profits into Optum, but they have to cross each other out during reconciliation for UNH's earnings report. The only time this was an exception was during Q1 2024 durring the Change Healthcare cyberattack, where Optum Insight's profit dropped by ~ 8.5%. Therefore 24Q1 the added total earnings was exactly 100%.
What this means is that I personally think there is potential market crowding and market preference within the UNH group. We will need further conclusive proof from the DOJ antitrust investigation to ascertain whether there is a true market distortion practice occurring OR if Optum services are so good UHG must always choose Optum as their partner due to quality (OK, can I start laughing now??? HAHAHAHAHAHA).
Furthermore, we haven't even discussed Home Care. "UnitedHealth is also moving into in-home care, with both primary and post-acute providers. In 2021, it bought PE-backed Landmark Health for $3.5 billion and recently merged Landmark with Prospero Health, after acquiring it in 2022. UnitedHealth also acquired LHC Group for $5.4 billion in 2022 and is currently seeking to purchase Amedisys, a home health and hospice company, for $3.3 billion. These home-based assets complement UnitedHealth’s 2020 purchase of PE-backed NaviHealth, which is one of a handful of post-acute “conveners” that have emerged within capitation-based models, particularly MA."
If anyone forgot, NaviHealth was the healthcare AI that denied rehab care to patients on a scale so large it got its own lawsuit: https://www.statnews.com/2023/11/14/unitedhealth-class-action-lawsuit-algorithm-medicare-advantage/
Subsequent to page 23 the position paper discusses on the methods to how capitation invites capital distortions, which we will further delve into at a later date. This post is long and dense enough as it is, especially if you have to stare at the graphs and start piecing things together.
As a conclusion, I believe there is definitely a way to cross review some parts to this dense position paper via 10K/10Q, and this is reflected within the financials of UnitedHealth Group. We will delve into the failure of Bright Health Group, the struggles of CVS/Aetna + the struggles of Humana at a later date. Suffice to say, vertical integration is the name of the insurance game, and unless something breaks the equilibrium, this will be the standard model for health insurance companies based on UNH's template.
