midi import issues
Ive been using nted so far for music and now I wish to convert my nted scores to musescore. And the only working way for me to export out of nted is through midi.
Now when I import midi into musescore there are some issues. The two attachments are the nted original and the musescore version imported from the nted midi.
There are two issues:
1. Voices are lost (in the bass)
2. musescore is choosing 'way-out' notes (double-sharps) rather than naturals
Is there any way of controlling these things?
[Note: I am a programmer and if someone could give me a hand I would not mind trying to look at the code myself]

1. Voice are lost.
Voices are probably not in the MIDI file. So MuseScore should have some AI to do the voice split. There is not such a thing for the moment.
2. You could try to use Note -> Spell Check to fix this. Not sure if it will work.
Help on improving the MIDI import process is very welcome. The code is in
importmidi.cppandmidifile.cpp. You can join us on the IRC channel to discuss details. (#musescore on freenode.net)In reply to 1. Voice are lost. Voices are by [DELETED] 5
The pitch spell has done it!
The voicing problem is probably more difficult and less important (to me)

A pity :) I would love to see someone motivated to tackle the issue :)

Well I looked at midifile.cpp and right at the end of the file I find a function
int MidiTrack::separateVoices(int /*maxVoices*/)
with most of the body commented out. Is that some kind of 'almost-working' version??

Yes. I guess it's a try indeed.

Well I tried to read the code.
The documentation is a bit formidable -- look at midifile or writetrack :-)
Of course if the header file had something more about the data structures...

It might be a little late but here is what you should do:
open your MIDI file and follow the procedure outlined by Marc Sabatella in my thread:

The problem apparently is not only with "foreign" MIDI files but also with MuseScore's own MIDI files!
