Notes still stop playing at the end of item and new notes start in the beginning of item right at split point. All this means that playback is screwed up after splitting. And it is impossible to get correct playback in looped MIDI items.

I agree, but that's a separate problem. My suggestion was just for preventing Reaper from cutting notes in two when splitting items.

But yeah, Reaper has serious issues with splitting, looped playback and unlooped playback of notes spanning item bounds.

No offense to our intrepid devs, but these behaviors result from pushing the "treat MIDI just like audio" analogy too far -- or exactly how an audio person would mistakenly design the MIDI side . When it comes to notes spanning item bounds, MIDI items are fundamentally different from audio items.
