Hello,
I imported a midi file to lmms, and it was great,
but some parts don't play properly.

Video : https://youtu.be/cafcOddVF6U

When I play with piano roll opened, it plays properly the way I want,
but when i play it without piano roll, some notes don't play the full value.

In the video, the second last note(Note: E) doesn't play the full value. (It feels like it's detached to the next note)
but with piano roll, it plays the full value.

How do I fix it to play properly (Like when I have piano roll opened)??

I hope it made sense...

my gues would be that you have a midi-file of a 'strange' sub-type -Perhaps from a karaokee-program..?
'Midi' covers several 'strains', build around the midi-protecol, but it is not uniform, and can lead to issues.
What you can try is to re-save the problem-midi to the standard midi1
You can do that with several programs, but i would recommend Anvil
http://www.anvilstudio.com/
Its free, has good reputation, and is generally a good midi-program

You may want to look, at other issues with importing midi files also.
Like If I import a midi file saved from my keyboard to LMMS, I loose the dynamics, and it has a maniacal sound. No changes in tempo, or key velocity.
When I record with LMMS, I have the changes in tempo, and key velocities.
I don't know why it happens, but it's been my experience with it.
