Musescore Seems to Add a "Guessed" Time Signature to MIDI
Whenever I open a MIDI file with no key signature events in Musescore 2, it places a key signature (and clef for that matter) on the score. How can I make it so that if there was no key signature defined in the MIDI, Musescore will not add one? Same situation for clefs (it was giving me octave-low treble clefs, I just want bass+treble).

Standard music notation needs a clef and key signature in order for the notes to be understandable, and it needs a time signature to know how many notes to put into a measure. If you disagree with the specific choice of clef, key ,. or time signature that MuseScore made, simply change it yourself using the appropriate palette.

I know that it's necessary, but adding a semi-arbitrary signature is not the solution, and I don't want to have to reset it every single time I add a new MIDI. Are you telling me there is no way at all to keep MuseScore from applying a key signature to MIDIs?

Notated music needs a key signature to make sense. It might be the C major key signature, but it needs to be there. If you prefer C major, simply put that in your MIDI file. Or delete it in MuseScore - takes two seconds.

So the answer is no then?

So the answer is: Yes.

Sorry for the double post, I just realized I made a horrible typo in the title, and I wanted to clear this up--I'm talking about the key signature, not the time signature. It was a complete mistake that I even mentioned it, my bad.
