Midi doesn't upload all instruments.

• Apr 8, 2017 - 15:46

I just put a Midi in MuseScore 2.0 and it didn't upload and instruments besides Grand Piano! Instead, it put all of the track in Grand Piano, so the Grand Piano was playing Trombone, Percussion, etc. and it sounded horrible! Why didn't it separate the tracks? (Maybe it has something to do with it being .wav.mid all at once)? Also is it possible to just upload an mp3 file into MuseScore 2.0? Thanks!

An mp3 file doesn't contain the sort of information that would be needed to create a music score. You might as well ask why you can't stick a roll of movie film into your DVD player to watch a movie - it's just not the right kind of information.

A MIDI file does contain the right sort of information, although in an extremely rudimentary form, so that a lot of necessary information will be missing. Your MIDI file contains only one track, so that is what MuseScore is showing you - that one track, split onto two staves. Not sure how the file was created, but if the intent was to have several different instruments, the program that created this should have put them onto separate tracks.
