MIDI export broken

• Mar 23, 2012 - 20:50

I exported a MIDI and it was very slow and in a different key.

Anything else that could be mentioned in a report?

Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build (5492) - Mac 10.7.3.

I know your post is old, but this always happens to me. In addition, drums sound like pianos ._. There's also some form of effect on it that sounds really weird (this is playing the exported MIDI through the latest VLC using the Fluid R3 soundfont. MIDIs not from Musescore lack the effect, and all Musescore exported MIDI files have it).

IME all MIDI export from MuseScore requires further editing in a sequencer before it is properly playable.

Once all notation issues are addressed, no doubt the development team will no doubt turn their attention to this, but at the moment it is not a high priority for them.

Personally I would recommend saving in WAV or OGG format if you wish to playback your music outside MuseScore.

Do be sure that you don't have some the tempo scaling factor in the Play Panel set to sonething ther than 100%. Sometimes, people mistkanely use this as a way to setthe overal tempo for a piece,but that isnot its purpose. Youneed touse a Tempo Text to control tempo "for real". If that doesn't turn out tobe your problem, please post a sample MSCZ file that doesn't export correctly.

For the record, I wasn't responding to your post, but to theg721's. I suspect he is using 1.2, not the trunk, and is not experiencing any actual bug in the program but is simply not setting tempo correctly in the first place. Not sure about the piano as drums, but that happens if the MIDI channels don't line up correctly. I've never had that happen specifically, but I have definitely seen the export not include appropriate patch information. That should be easily fixed in a sequencer.
