Sustaining MIDI notes

Three spots in this one song. The notes sometimes sustain too long. Sometimes it is perfect. Other times it glitches. I've done everything I know. Deleted the measure and rewrote it. Deleted other MIDI parts in the same spot.
It's always the same note in the same place.
Any thoughts?

Virtual instruments? Which ones? What kind of cpu load is that presenting? How are they distributed across the cores of the machine? How much RAM?
Need much more info

Are the ends of the notes overlapping the starts of another? Try shortening the notes by a few ticks.

I'm running two tracks. One instance of Kontact/Shreddage 3 and one instance of BFD2. That's it.

I did. I selected the measure and set duration to 95%.

Have you tried creating a similar track as the problem MIDI track, assigned to the same VI, and placing the troublesome note(s) on that track? In other words, have two MIDI tracks assigned to the same VI that, between them, include all the MIDI data.
Worst case, set up a duplicate instantiation of the VI and MIDI track and split the notes between the VI instantiations.
I've notified MOTU about an anomaly I have encountered here and there; the first sustain pedal (cc64) On message, which works fine without quantization, fails to function if a quantization plugin is inserted on the track, regardless of where that On message is placed, before, at, or after the first MIDI note. If controllers are quantized, then it functions properly. If the quantization plugin is bypassed, all is well. If the sustain pedal message is placed on a separate MIDI track, everything is peachy.
