Hammer-ons and Sustains - problems

I've built a mid for a custom song, but when I import it into GHEx, there are some things that I didn't expect:

1. I've got a lot of 16th notes in the song (tempo is 90), and GHEx doesn't display them as if they will be hammer-ons. I would have thought 16th notes was fast enough to be hammer-ons, and I put the chart together with th eidea that they would be. Is there a way I can specify hammer-ons? 32nd notes seem to work just fine as hammer-ons, but not 16ths.

2. There are several points in the song where I have several sustained chords following one another. Occasionally, One of these sustains doesn't sustain at all (in GHEx). What is likely to have gone wrong here?
Edit: The notes which specifically don't sustain are those followed immediately before AND after by another sustain (eg, one long hold with some extra strums in the middle). Whether it's a chord or a single note doesn't matter.

I've yet to burn this to a dvd and test it in game, as I'm hoping to not have to do that too many times

the solution in this thread worked for the HOPOs.
I'm using Cakewalk Music Creator 3, if that helps anyone.

still need a solution for problem 2 though

Sorry, my bad.

The first instance of the sustains not working is the BY chord in measure 26. The are numerous times it happens after that point.

Bump.
Sill looking for help on why my sustains aren't sustaining

I'll take a look at it now.

Edit: It appears that the holds beforehand are ending after the start of the next one. This would caus the game to hang I believe. Change any holds to a slight amount (even a few ticks) earlier for the ending. In doing this, it was fixed on my end.

Thanks

I had thought that might have been a possibility, but had checked the holds, and they definitely started at the precise tick the previous hold ended.

No matter, I just shortened the offenders by a single tick, and everything seems fine now - Thanks for your help.

Yeah, one note has to end before another one begins.
Even if that only means it's one tick before.
