Too many rests
How do i fix this: (see pic) Meaning: how do i make the notes go on same voice and remove those weird rests?
This is mported MIDI file, made with Reaper, and somehow somewhere comes these weird rests, and they mess up the notes too cause some of the rests are on voice 1 and some on voice 2 and vice versa.

flip them over to voice one, then delete the voice 2 rest(s)

How do you do that? I tried to activate the notes and press the number 1 button on toolbar but that didnt do anything :/

Hard to say from just a picture, but it kind of looks like that measure is probably corrupt. Did you get a warning when you loaded the score? Can you attach it here - the MSCZ file as well as the MIDI file you started with?
Normally, pressing a voice button will work to send selected voices to that voice *if* that voice is currently empty (or contains rests only) on those beats. Or, if it contains notes of the same duration. Another method that is less picky would be to select the measure and use the Exchange commands in Edit / Voices.

I kind of saved that file over when trying to fix it in Reaper, but there are similar parts still in the song. I will attach the MIDI and MSCZ ... there is similar stuff for example in bar 2 TROMBONE.
I am pretty sure this is something in Reaper, but i cant figure what it is.

Trying to use the Exchange command, it says "plase select one or more staves..."

Yes, as I said, you have to select the measure (or multiple measures) first to use the Exchange command.
In bar 2 of the trombone, it looks like the original MIDI contained overlapping notes, which aren't possible to notate without multiple voices. Generally you should try to fully quantize a MIDI before importing into MuseScore. MIDI is not a very good format to use for this purpose in the first palc,e but it will be even less good if not quantized.
That said, if you tell MuseScore to try to use only one voice anyhow (in the window that pops up upon import, set "Max voices" to 1), it might happen to give results similar to what you might have wanted. Sometimes it uses ties to allow the notes to still overlap, but in this case, it doesn't, and probably looks more or less like it was meant to have been played in the first place.

Hey wow, i used the "max voices" in the MIDI import panel set it to 1 and that did the job! THANK YOU, you have been a life saver ;)
Oh and yes, i have quantized the MIDI track but the swing is sometimes hard to quantize.
Thanks again!
