My feeling is that none at all should be sent automatically at clip boundary.

Reset messages should only be sent on stop. I am going to check, what trusty old Logic 5 does, but I am pretty sure the resetting was fully up to the user for the time playback was running... including pitch. Though I have to add Logic did a seek for controllers, Program changes and note ons at each start mid project (optionally), which might be of relevance here.

I will report back tomorrow. I propose other cubenlitudonar users do the same, so we can collect and benefit from the mileage of experience.

Btw, while at it, the messages sent at timeline loop to a midi clock enabled port are a bit odd, too. Reaper sends a stop message, followed by a midi SPP and a continue message at each loop return. It should only be a SPP message, as the stop/continue can probably throw some midi devices out of sync. Please see http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.p...light=midi+spp for this topic.
Again, my only experience in this field is Logic, but I think it's not a bad reference in terms of midi.
