A Hold Instrument command can be inserted by pressing the H key, which will write <b><code>&&</code></b> on the instrument column. This command will hold any instrument envelope state from a previous note. This was implemented in FamiTracker 0.5.0 beta 3, and ported since 0CC-FamiTracker version 0.3.14.3.</p>
