We can change this action so it doesn't skip looped MIDI items. That does mean lyrics that you enter with the lyrics script that are not within the initial loop iteration will be discarded, but that's probably less confusing behavior than automatically inserting a new MIDI item.
Yes, I think losing text events that are outside of the initial loop iteration is less confusing. The best thing would be if the script did not even accept input beyond the initial loop iteration.

Thanks.
