Keyboard Midi file - percussion format
Hello,
Trying to record some christmas carols and import the midi to MuseScore.
Some midi files are imported as percussion-drums, see:
Is there an option to change the instrument back to keyboard/piano?
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
Christoph

Is this a MIDI file created using the recording capability on a Yamaha keybaord by chance? If so, I think you are seeing a known bug specific to how Yamaha MIDI files are imported - #85856: Piano renders as percussion on SMF import with Yamaha XG SysEx block. See also https://musescore.org/en/node/82241 for a discussion of possible workarounds. You can also just copy and paste the music to a piano staff, then fix the noteheads with Ctrl+A to select all, press Notes button in Inspector to limit selection to notes, then hit the reset button next to the "Head group" control.

Yes, exactly. I'm using a Yamaha DGX-630, so the problem seems to be related to the Yamaha SysEx block issue.
It is possible to open the files with other progs like Finale Notepad, Capella, Forte Notensatz, ... and re-export the midi. This file can be edited by MuseScore, however this will result in degradation.
I recently rediscovered the MuseScore protject and I like it.
So I subscibed to #85856: Piano renders as percussion on SMF import with Yamaha XG SysEx block longing for a fix.
Kind regards,
Christoph

Do you know about the workaround??
Just remove the Yamaha SysEx block in a sequencer.
This thread may throw the most light on it but you don't say which OS you are using.

I'm using Windows 10 x64.
The Workaround using Anvil Studio worked for me.
Thank you very much.
