Midi file not being read properly
Help please.
Musescore is an excellent program . I have started using it to read piano music to learn the piano (as my piano-reading skills are quite poor). It does everything I want, like slowing down the tempo, looping, showing the actual notes on they keyboard,...
But with the midi file I have started with it places a lot treble clef notes in the bass clef, which makes it a bit confusing. The correct notes are shown on they keyboard, so it is not completely impossible to read.
I played the file in other programs (before choosing musescore as the best one) and this problem did not occur in them. Any ideas how to overcome this problem please?
I have attached the file. There you can see examples in bars 18 and 19 but in fact the problem occurs in lots of places.

What other programs?
Synthesia, Noteworthy Composer (another couple which I deleted).
Synthesia was recommended by the person who wrote the file. It worked fine on my "work" computer but was unusable on my "music" computer, as the (fairly old) machine did not support the graphics, even when I used a really old version of Synthesia. Noteworthy Composer is a bit clunky, as were the other ones, whose names escape me for the moment.
Musescore works fine on my "music " computer apart from some treble clef notes being turned into bass clef notes. Maybe there is some easier way I could correct them manually (if all else fails)!

Thanks Jojo.
But it's not the entire stave, it's a couple of notes here and there.
"Press I and move the staves into the correct order (then delete and add the brace and fix the barline " (I am not sure I understand that!).

Thanks, do you have any suggestions about how to cure this? Any ideas would be welcome. In very simple terms though because my music reading and theory abilities are very poor (hence my need of the program).

Nope, short of deleting them in one staff and re-entering them in the other

I don't think so. Note entry in MuseScore is far easier than playing a piano, at least for me

Thank you everybody for all your advice.
Looking around the Internet I managed to find a program that works on my old "music" computer, displays the music correctly, slows down the tempo, loops sections, colours the notes and even provides the letters of the notes (ABCDEFG). Just what the doctor ordered.
