OK - I will try. But as I'm not experienced with GitHub practices you will have to tell me exactly what I have to do. First what do you mean by my Windows box? I'm using Windows Carla on my Linux computer with Wine in this way:

Is that a Windows box? Besides I also have a Windows11 laptop to do some real Windows testing.
Further I make my plugins with XUiDesigner starting from a Faust file or for later modification from a json file. I don't see how to do it with the Xmonk.
In Carla under Wine it works mostly OK, most of the hanging notes (kind of) are inaudible (you only see a key hanging without the accompanying sound). However when you leave the keyboard with the mouse in the vertical direction downwards then there are real audible hanging tones. See:

I will do some more tests with Xmonk.lv2 in other hosts in my following posts.
In Reaper on my Windows11 laptop Xmonk.lv2 works OK except that it's possible to create audible hanging notes by leaving the LV2's GUI keyboard with the mouse vertically downwards where you release the click outside of the keyboard.
In Windows Carla on my Windows11 laptop Xmonk has the same problem with hanging notes as elsewhere, plus that the larger keyboard that's opened by clicking on the small keyboard on the GUI keeps disappearing.
Can you reproduce the effects of my tests of today?
Tested the Fluida.lv2 in Carla under Wine. The GUI is hard to see, but the plugin works. Strangely there are only inaudible hanging notes here, that is: you see the key being stuck without any continuing accompanying sound. Maybe this has something to do with the nature of the instrument as a soundfont player?
Windows Reaper crashes on my Windows11 laptop as I try to load a soundfont into Fluida.lv2. But not always, when the soundfont does load the plugin works OK.
When opening the GUI looks like this:

On Windows Carla on my Windows11 laptop Fluida.lv2 works OK, only strange thing there is that you only have to move with the mouse on the GUI keyboard for the notes to play, they automatically stop when you move the mouse away. Clicking has no effect. On the keyboard of Carla itself under the patchbay the keyboard works normal.
In Reaper on my Windows11 laptop Xmonk.lv2 works OK except that it's possible to create audible hanging notes by leaving the LV2's GUI keyboard with the mouse vertically downwards where you release the click outside of the keyboard.
Could this be the reason for the hanging notes, that releasing the click outside of the keyboard (or leaving the keyboard area) in some cases isn't recognized as a MIDI message?
The LV2 plugin now works in Reaper under Linux and Windows. There's still an occasional hanging note, but that's no big deal (the hanging note can be killed by turning the Polyphony knob).
Let me know if and when it's time for some further tests to be done.
Hopefully I've found the culprit for the hanging note on windows now. There was indeed a missing event when the mouse release outside the window. Even when capture this event it could be lost on windows. Glad-fully windows knows about that issue and trigger a lost event message when that happen. libxputty capture that now as well and generate the missing event on itself.
I've pushed the fix for it now to github. Please update and try if it works for you as well.
