Midi file imports as non monophonic, when part is monophonic, how to repair?
I've recently discovered the utility of importing midi files as a time saver for note entering. But my most recent example is importing as if there are parallel parts, even though the midi file clearly has no notes that overlap in time. Why might this be? In any case, I can't figure out how to get rid of the "parallel rests" in bars 3 and 4 without getting rid of the notes. How do I do this?
I'm including a screenshot as PDF, plus the midi file

When I import into Musescore 3.7 I get this, no second voice but proceeded by many empty bars.

The empty bars make sense, they are in the midi file. But that indicates that this is a bug in Musescore 4 I guess. In any case, does anyone know how I can get rid of the "parallel rests" once the midi file is imported?

Actually, this triggered me to try restarting Musescore 4, rather than just closing the file and re-opening the MIDI file (which I had fixed to make sure there were no overlapping notes). The problem went away! This seem to indicate that Musescore 4 was somehow "caching" the original midi file even after I fixed it.

I also opened this in 4.4.4 and had no problem.

I am running into this problem again. I've included what I see when I open the midi file, and the midi file itself. I checked very carefully for any overlapping notes, even used a feature in Logic Pro which ensure overlapping notes. It's a monophonic part. Yet it gets split into two separate parts on import.
How can I figure out what is going on here?
Also, when I use "Implode" to try to merge the content, I get these funny markers I can't remove. What is that, and is there another way to easily merge the parts onto one staff?
