is there like a way to add minor 2nd intervals (which i assume are always exactly 1 semitone over the original note) to every note selected?

honestly id guess yes but id need to change the key of the song after each note which would be painful as hell

or add a normal 2nd using alt+2 (or ctrl+alt+2, i dont remember clearly) and tuning the notes down, which would also be painful as hell but better

i just got the seriously genius idea (so smart for real) of putting the midi file in a midi sequencer (online sequencer for example) and copy all the notes with ctrl+c and paste them and raise them by 1 semitone

seriously how didnt i think of that earlier dude
anyways post closed, thanks for the suggestions tho

If you want to transpose up without changing the key signature, simply press Ctrl+A (Select All). Then press the Up arrow once. This will make all the "black key notes" be sharps. If you want them all to be flats, press the Up arrow once more, then press Down.

Up and Down simply move selected notes up or down in pitch.

Press N to activate note input mode.
Select your duration. For example, 5 sets the duration to a quarter note.
Now type C. Then type _ (underscore), Shift+D.
Type D. Type _, Shift+E.
Type E. Type Shift+F.

The _ (underscore) tells MuseScore to explicitly put a flat on the next note, no matter what the key signature is. There are equivalent shortcuts for natural (=) and sharp(+) as well.

Pressing Shift and a note letter adds the note to a chord. It always adds the next such note above the last note added to a chord, so if you were to type E, Shift+G, Shift+C, you would get the C major chord in first inversion.

You haven't given us much to go on. What are you trying to transpose? One instrument in a score? The whole score? Help us help you. You could just select the instrument staff and use the up and down arrows. But I think you'll learn more about how MuseScore works if you use the Transpose function. Select the whole staff (if that is the goal) and go to Tools>Transpose. You can transpose by interval or key signature.
