Midi import splits single melody to separate voices
Hi! I'm a producer, I use Logic or ableton to work, and then I used to work with finale to transform the midi files to scores. I'm new to MuseScore and I'm trying to do the same, but when I import the singe melody midi file, it gets split into two voices. How can I disable this setting please? Here's the file

It even gets split into three voices (1.blue, 2.green, 3.orange) This is possible with version 3 (e.g. 3.6.2, the last one), see GIF below.
This is not currently possible with version 4, simply because the MIDI import panel has not been retained (at this stage of V4 development anyway)
Also only works for version 3, for other reasons.

Should be ready over the weekend.

All true. M3 is better capable and more flexible than MS when importing MIDI. The number of features stripped from v3 to v4 is staggering.
I checked the OP's MIDI file in Logic's Event List Editor and indeed all notes are in Channel 1.
So I find it peculiar that MS4 thinks it needs to use separate voices ... except that some notes have a slight overlap.
If I were MuseScore 4 I'd beg developers to reinstate the LEN property.
With the LEN property restored in MS4 MIDI import could be straightforward:
• MS4 could determine note face values evaluating the onset point of a NoteON and and the point of the next note in the MIDI file
• all notes in the score could remain on their native channel
• all MuseScore play durations could precisely match their DAW origins
Net result:
• intelligent, readable notation that needs no revision
• playback quality that matches the detail and fidelity found in the app that generated the MIDI file
