I am just astounded that in 2016, there is only one program that is capable of taking a standard Midi File and auto-arranging it in a way that a pianist can play.Īnd I thought pianos were the primary instrument for most composers.Īnd aren't most music scores notated for piano first? If you could enlighten me as to what I should have done, feel free. Split Midi file into trebel and bass clef (and keep the clefs consistent) I looked through every menu option in Musescore and saw nothing that resembled:Ĭ. This is going to occur by default with every Midi file I load because it's programmed to occur every time. The programmer of Musescore thought we would want to see lots of 16th note rests, but the programmer of Finale didn't. I agree that the programmer has to decide what to do with short periods of rest. I know it's not as simple as just note pitch and duration, but this is the primary data that is contained in both formats and presenting that data in a way that is useful for a musician should be the goal of any notation software programmer. No file that I make on EZKeys will work in Sibelius. $850 Sibelius cannot do the simple task of importing a single line of midi (as it is produced by the piano on EZKeys) and arranging it on two staves, so I have been informed by people on their forum. Probably the full version of Finale provides similar controls, but the point is, don't be misled by one comparison using default settings into thinking Finale always does great and MuseScore always does terribly.īoth note starts and stops should be quantized to the nearest 16th. If you post your MIDI file, probably someone can show you how you could get results better thasn Finale's with very little effort - I know the MuseScore algorithm wouldn't make some of the mstakes I see in the Finale example. I'm guessing you probably didn't spend very long trying to choose optimal options for your file based on these factors. Different scores will do best with different combinations of options, depending on the nature of the music itself, how it was qwuantized, and the results you subjectively prefer. MuseScore provides a wealth of options to control how the import is performed. It's not even close to being good readable notation, actually. And it seems clear it avoided use of multiple voices when logic dictates this is what should have been used. For that matter, I'd call Finale's results on this file pretty poor in terms of things like deciding which notes go on which staves, also in terms of figuring out when to use multiple voicesFor exampe, there is no way both those first two notes of the second measure couple possibly be played in the same hand. I'm glad Finale did well in this particular case - and it's been aroudn the longest by a big margin, so it makes sense it might - but throw enough stuff at it and you'll quickly learn, MIDI just isn't cut out for this, and you *will* encountere dplenty of cases where the results are ugly. On this particular file, Finale happened to do better. For that matter, you say you quantizied your file, but you didn't say if you quantizied both note starts and note stops (eg, durations), or just notes starts (which is probably what most softeware might do by default), or what value you quantized to (nearest 32nd? Nearest 16th)?Īnyhow, the bottom line is, turning MID into notation involves a very long series of guesses and approximations, many of which are likely to be not what you want. Well, this information could theoretically be encoded, but you'd have to do it manually in your MIDI software, and I'm guessing you didn't. For a MIDI track representing piano music, it doesn't even have a way of representing which note goes into which of the two staves. Plus, throw in the fact that music notation can only represent one rhythm on a staff at a time until multiple voices are introduced, but MIDI has no way of representing which note goes into which voice. Again, depending on context, sometimes one is what was intended, other times the other is. If the note last for 0.73 beats, then notation software has to decide whether you'd like that notated as a quarter note or a dotted eighth followed by a sixteenth rest. As for duration, it isn't rounded off into neat units like quarter note or eighth note. Notation software has to guess which one might be correct, and no matter which way it guesses, it's likely to be wrong close to half the time. The pitch, for example, is just a number, and the same number is used for G# and Ab. Yes, MIDI files contain pitch and udration information, but not in a form that makes it unambiguous how it should be notated. The thing is, it is nowhere near as simple as that.
