Export MIDI generates bad file - is there a fix?

When I export a MIDI track, other programs say it is corrupt, with data after the end of the track.

Online midi dumper shows

00000e 4d 54 72 6b Chunk ("MTrk")
000012 00 00 01 82 length (386)
000016 00 ff 51 03 07 a1 20  +0 = 0 :  Meta:SetTempo (500000 = 120)
...
00018a 0e 39 00 +14 = 1218 : NoteOn (ch:1 note:57 velo:0)(RunStat)
00018d 0a 37 00 +10 = 1228 : NoteOn (ch:1 note:55 velo:0)(RunStat)
000190 7c ff 2f 00 +124 = 1352 : Meta:EndOfTrack
000194 00 ff 2f 00 Extra Data after EndOfTrack
End of Chunk not match..

The next chunk should be at 0x16+0x0182 = 0x198

But you can see that there is an extra EndOfTrack starting at offset 0x194

@John-Hartman Have you checked the MIDI event list of your MIDI object inside Music Maker?

The Event list shows only the NoteOn and NoteOff events (no pedal on this track) - none of the track events that are in the file
