MIDI file size are larger
I have generated a MID file which is 125 bytes in MuseScore 1.1 vs 173 bytes in 2.x latest build:
The way MusicScore 2.x produce MIDI data varied differently from 1.1 which not only it has double data, but also Treble and Bass keys are code in odd and even lines. I'm quite confuse how it is so different in both version.
Here are the xml tag I dumped from my MIDI reader.

However, the "tempo" element in MusicXML as well as tempo in MIDI file is missing in MuseScore 1.1?
I've a deadline to complete my music the end of this month, wish to know on your progress on MIDI bug.
In order to reproduce the problem, the developers need the following info:
- what OS are you working on
- attach a musescore file which we can reproduce the bug with
- and optionally, also attach the 2 midi files

Attached.
Thanks.
Regarding tempo, there are quite some topics already, so you may want to search for 'tempo' using the site search box.
This yielded for me this post: http://musescore.org/en/node/6300 I think it may help you.

As a general comment, if you're needing stability in order to make a deadline, I wouldn't even be looking at the nightly builds. There's no guarantee they'll be working at all on any given day. On the other hand, if a bug in 1.1 is preventing you from getting work done, that should be reported, even if there' little chance of it being fixed in the next month. I can't tell if you're saying you think the difference in the two MIDi file represents a bug in 1.0 or in 2.0 or if it's even a bug at all. And as a final general comment, if the primary focus of your project is MIDI output, I probably wouldn't be relying on MuseScore as your primary application in any case. For the basic note entry, maybe, but it's not the right tool for tweaking of the specific MIDI message, as I get the impression you may be needing to do.
