Error at end of sketch

For some reason, at the end of my sketch, whenever the play bar reaches the end of the sketch window, I hear a really loud chord (even though I have nothing written there). I can't seem to get rid of it. Sometimes the play bar keeps playing beyond the end of the sketch window! Is this a bug? I thought it would go away once I share my ringtone, but it still gets "printed" with the final ringtone. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have experienced both the loud chord and had my play bar wander away, too. The latter seems to be bug.

I believe the chord at the end occurs when some strokes are moved (with the arrow tool) or drawn past the end of the window, where it would be expected that the stroke has been deleted.

If you can make the window longer, you may find the hidden strokes. Otherwise try clicking in the sketch window and dragging to start a red selection box. Without selecting any of the strokes you want to keep, continue to drag the selection box for some distance to the left of the window and then release. If there are in fact strokes out there, they will become selected and you can delete them.

It's definitely a bug that needs to be fixed.

Another way to find out if you have extra music past the end of your sketch window is to use "select all". First click on the sketch window and then either edit->select all or ctrl-a. You will see a selection rectangle that encloses everything, even if it extends past the end of the window.
