![]() If your song is swung, use the “detect swing” dropdown so MuseScore knows how to handle your notes. Depending on the instrument, I might also uncheck “show staccato.” I almost always uncheck “Clef changes.” And, if your instrument doesn’t use multiple staves, make sure “split staff” is unchecked. When you open up a midi file in MuseScore, a panel should be docked on the bottom of your screen with some settings: ![]() Don’t worry if your tracks aren’t assigned to the correct instruments yet, we’ll deal with that later. I’ll do additional cleanup in MuseScore itself. I have midi files set to open up in MuseScore on my computer by default, so I’ll usually just batch open all of my tracks and there they are, all lined up in MuseScore. Finally, export each track as its own midi file.Delete extra tracks, like duplicated pads, sound effects just there for ear candy, and anything that shouldn’t make it into your final score.For example, see this before (top) and after (bottom): It’s painful, but I haven’t found a way around this yet. Note: if your specific track does need overlapping notes, you’ll need to do a lot of manual cleanup in MuseScore - sometimes that means just changing some voices, sometimes that means rewriting some sections.You’ll notate the pitch bend directly in your score. If you have things like notes leading into other notes for pitch bending, either get rid of those or shorten them so there’s no overlap. MuseScore also doesn’t like it when notes overlap in the same part.MuseScore hates anything that isn’t perfectly quantized and will spit out some pretty terrible clusters of notes and rests otherwise. ![]() Quantize all of your tracks, especially if you played your parts directly into your tracks.Delete any unnecessary plugins so your file loads faster.When simplifying your file, you’ll want to: A separate file is also good because you only need to worry about the note data. I do this in a separate file so I don’t mess anything up in my song. The purpose of your duplicate file is to simplify your song for export. Simplify song in a duplicate project file Simplify song in a duplicate project file. ![]() This should theoretically work with any DAW that allows you to export your individual tracks as midi files. This presents a bit of a challenge when I make my scores, so over the last year I’ve developed some techniques for creating scores in MuseScore from midi dumps. I do not I compose directly in my DAW, Ableton Live. Most people doing these challenges have traditional music training of some kind and often will compose directly in sheet music software like MuseScore. We need to submit both an audio render and sheet music for each prompt. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I participate in a weekly music challenge where we alternate original composition and arrangement prompts. ![]()
