Importing midi drums to musescore - need help!
Hi. I imported my midi drums to musescore and for some reason it autocreates the notation with two lines (grand stave). I'm totally new to this but I believe a drumset should be on one line not two. I have been reading other similar posts but I can't see how I can covert this to be one line instead of two, or how to copy and paste it on to one line.
I'm trying to get my midi drums onto notation for our drummer to use and learn from. I have also modified the drumset to map into the drumset I created the drum patterns in.
I'm sure this is all simple when you know how. Thanks.

You'd probably need to share the MIDI file too

If I import that MIDI into MuseScore, it comes in as a Grand Piano (and as such consequently with 2 staves), not at all as a drumset.
Looks entirely different from your mscz, except that it also has 2 staves.
Your mscz has a key signature, that is ... quite unusual for a drum staff?
Just ticking the "drumset" box in Mixer is not turning a normal staff into a drum staff, as far as I can tell (but if I do that on your MIDI it still looks different from your mscz)

That's the same for me. If I import the midi musescore believes it is a grand piano. Im not sure what to do so that either I can convert it to a drumset or have musescore recognise it as a drumset on import.
When i import the mid and in the import-dialog uncheck "split staff", all notes are on one line. Is this what you want?

Doing that and turning it into a drumset via mixer and then loading your drm files makes it this.

(also removing the keysig and all accidentals and really changeing the istrument from Piano to Drumset)

OK. If I set as drumset on the right, untick split staff and apply my drumset style it looks a lot better. Im not a drummer but I think this looks a lot more like a drum score.
Thanks.
I've "fixed" your MIDI file by moving all events (currently in channel 0) to the 10th channel (09) which is the Drum channel as per the MIDI standard.
If you now do import the attached file, MuseScore will recognize it as a drumset file (though not quite readable by default imho).

So whatever created that MIDI, made a bad mistake
(I had that suspicion from the start, but not the tools nor firm knowledge to test)

Thanks for that. I'll look out for that setting in future.

Hi. How did you "fix" it and move the events to channel 10? My DAW is Reaper.

Ask in a forum that is about Reaper, like https://forum.cockos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=20

I used MidiEditor, in which it's as simple as select all (Ctrl-A) and change the channel in the Event Properties window.
