It seems like the last "half rest" is not included in the midi file.

FluidSynth chops the playback/rendering at the last midi event. The best
workaround, in wait for a fix for part 1 of ticket #24, would be to
insert another event (e g change volume or something else that won't
affect the sound) a bit after the last note-off event.
