Import from midi into a template

• Mar 12, 2018 - 22:46

First of all, I must say that I am stunned by how complete and easy to use this program is.

20 + years ago or so I was working as an in house arranger for a couple of studios and was using Finale and Cubase Score depending on what was best for the job.

20 years later, I find MuseScore and I am amazed. So I must first say THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS on a singular achievement!

Onto my question if I may;

Today I was able to export a midi file from Cubase and open it in MuseScore. No problem.

However, what if I wish to first select a template before importing?
Or can I change this setting after I have imported?

At the moment, importing the midi file only flows into the default MuseScore editor/default.

Thank you kindly and thank you thank you again!

Marco

You can't import to a template, but you can change all the styles you need. You can also change instruments.

Finally if you wanted to use an existing template to not need to change a bunch of settings, you could always create a score based upon the template, open the midi then copy and paste. Standard editing keystrokes are used like ctrl+shift+end will select everything to the end of the score on a staff. There are 2 things you might run into problems with. Key and Time Signatures cannot be pasted, so you may need to fix those either before or after you paste.

Hi Mike

Thank you for your timely reply.

I tried your second suggestion and it worked perfectly. I was able to copy/paste to the new template from the default editor.

I am grateful for your time and help
