MIDI import ignores key signature
When importing the attached MIDI file, the key shows up as B major (5 sharps), but the MIDI file has the key signature as E major (4 sharps).
When imported into Sibelius, the key signature is interpreted correctly. In addition, I can view the raw MIDI and confirm that there should be only 4 sharps.
Any ideas why the 5th sharp is added? Seems like it's just ignoring what the MIDI file says, and interpreting the key signature on its own.

I don't know much abut MIDI format, but tracing through what happens in the code, I can confirm that MuseScore is not seeing a key signature. It sees only two meta events - one with a meta type of 4 that it doesn't recognize, then a track name of "Classical Guitar". I guess mayeb there is an issue with *where* the key signature meta event is within the file?
Same issue for me. Seems like MuseScore ignores the key signature midi header (0x59). Would be great to get that fixed.

It works if the event is present in the place MuseScore expects. I believe it needs to see the key in each track. So hopefully the program that exported this MIDI file can re-export it that way.
