They're multiplied up from canvas_height = self.canvas.winfo_height() so I guess mainloop already think it's idle, while grid is still taking 10ms to work out what goes where. It's not a specifically canvas thing, because to the left of the canvas there is a frame (called trackbar) which has the same height, and self.trackbar.winfo_height() gives the same effects. Your suggestion would also defend me against small screens, or midi- -files with large numbers of tracks (I'll impose a max_retries)...
