2.0.4 Help?
https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/tree/2.0.4
So I downloaded this....project? (I don't know what the official term is) Anyway, since the thing didn't have a .exe file anywhere inside it, I'm assuming I'm suppose to add all of this to the official 2.0.3 release, but I'm not entirely sure, and I can't find anything online that gives me any info (or at least no info that's in layman's terms). Could someone please tell me what I'm suppose to do?

I downloaded it and got it to open. However, the reason I was wanting to use 2.0.4 in the first place was to correct an issue I have involving midi importing (related to these topics:
https://musescore.org/en/node/5426
https://musescore.org/en/node/122626
https://musescore.org/en/node/122596 ) , and this Nightly build doesn't seem to help much.

Background info: everything that is mentioned fixed against 2.0.4 (a release that won't happen anymore) has been fixed in 2.1 (a release expected in the coming months) as well.

So you're saying I have to wait several months to be able to properly transcribe my video game music?

Just grab a nightly build of 2.1 and start using it now. It should be quite stable.

As I said before, I tried the 2.1 Nightly Build and it didn't work. I'll include the midi file I'm working with and what 2.1 turned it into so that you can see for yourself.

Well, #5426: Elements in MIDI converted from .SPC don't appear is still open, no fix for it yet.
#122626: Fail to import MIDI file properly though is fixed and the fix is in 2.1 too (because it is in 2.0.4)

I was just providing you with the info on why you shouldn't look for 2.0.4, but at 2.1 instead.
If you were willing to use 2.0.4 nightly builds to get your features/bugfixes, then you will definitely be willing to use a 2.1 nightly as of right now. Which, as Jojo mentioned, is already quite stable and moving towards a final stable release within the coming months.

This MIDI file contains many errors.
For example: channel 10 has many note-on values. But there is no note off value (or note on=0).
In Track-1, the value of some note-off is "d#C". It can not be such a value. The values must be d#3, d#0, d#8.
This kind of faulty files, each application reads in its own style.
Some accept the new note-on value as a note-off for the previous one.
Some can not value at all. And that part is empty.
So the software that created this file could not do it as a valid file.
Attachment: Same file converted from MIDI to CSV for review.

So how do I change it so that it can be read properly?

It seems that this file was created by Spc2Midi.
This is an old application that converts Super Nintendo files to MIDI files.
If the incorrect output of this software is corrected in the new versions (if there is), it may be a solution to try the new version.
Or, it is already somewhere converted to a MIDI file.

Since I DID use the most up to date version of Spc2Midi, you're basically saying that there's no way to fix it?
In reply to Since I DID use the most up by otaking3582
Many note length values are not given. Many are wrong too.
I do not think it's a way of fixing it.
If there is another application, you need to test it.
Or you can find someone else's midi version.
Try googling with: select your carranger mid

Thanks, I appreciate you finding that for me, and it seems to work fine. However, I can't always rely on EVERY SNES song already being available online in Midi format (and Spc2Midi seems to be the only converter, as far as I can tell), so this problem hasn't been solved entirely.
In reply to Thanks, I appreciate you by otaking3582
The problem is not in MuseScore but in SPC2Midi apparently. You could try other tools, preferably open source and not from 2005 so you can do bug reports. Here is an example https://github.com/vgmtrans/vgmtrans
That is the source code, you most probably don't want that. Go with Shoichi's hint
