import midi drum track
Hi
I'm new to musescore and want to do 2 things..
Import a midi drum track and import single midi tracks and have them all displayed on the same sheet.
When I import a midi drum track it plays back as piano.
There's probably a simple solution but as a novice, I've not found it yet.
All responses gratefully received - thanks in advance

Welcome.
Try opening the Mixer (F10) and selecting 'Drumset'

I tried to open a midi drum track using Musescore and your tip was very helpful!
Do you know also how to merge two different staves into just one? The result of importing a drum midi track into Musescore is that you have two staves of drums as it was a piano (but with two bass clef staves).

If you have only a single track on channel 10 as the General MIDI standard calls for, it should work perfectly already. But if you have a non-standard MIDI file that uses multiple tracks or multiple channels within the track, you can use Tools / Implode within MuseScore to combine multiple staves into one.

I really appreciate your tips! Saved me a ton of headaches trying to manually fix issues in a drumset MIDI file exported from Ableton Live...

I set the mixer as shown on pic but the scores dont appear like drum sheet.They still look like keyboard scores.How do I turn them into drum scores?
The General MIDI standard requires drum tracks to be assigned channel 10. If your MIDI file does this, MuseScore automatically assigns it to drumset. So make sure your MIDI file uses channel 10 for drum tracks.
If you continue to have trouble after ensuring your drum track is on channel 10, please attach your MIDI file.
As for importing separate MIDI files, you can load them as separate scores, then copy and paste them into a big score you have set up with the required instruments/staves.

As mentioned, if your MIDI file is set up correctly with the drums on channel 10, it all works correctly by default. if your MIDI file is not set up this way, then we'd need you to attach it in order for us to help you correct it upon import.
