thing is, the MIDI stream that enters a MIDI bus or track plugin chain won't ever come out of it, unless you insert a MIDI send to return into somewhere else... (another plugin chain? oh no! ... it is just not possible to capture or record directly from any plugin output at all-- the only option is about having an external loop into a regular input bus (kinda MIDI bouncing).
note that this is the one big difference to audio buses and tracks (in qtractor signal flow model), where the audio signal will go through all the audio_fx plugin chain and appear as output to the designated target: which might be one or more tracks for input buses, an output bus for tracks and out and away for output buses.
the MIDI stream is quite different: it is a discrete sequence of timestamped events that parts ways at the top of the plugin chain and will never merge back again... just think of the mayhem that would be at the other end, if it just merges both streams just like an audio mix-down goes... it would just make no sense, at all, it surely results in some kind of unintentional cacophony, to say the least :)
and no, there won't be any development to this state of things, any day soon, sorry ;)
very complex :)
