Not open some files MIDI with MUSESCORE
Anyone can tell me why not open some files MIDI with MUSESCORE? When I try it gives me the following message: "failed loading bad midifile: MThd expected". Any suggestions to open these midis? Thank you.

Lacking "MThd" in the header of the file indicatates that this is not a MIDI file
If you have a file you think is a valid MIDI file that won't open, please attach it here so we can investigate further.

Hello Marc Sabatella, as you suggest, I attach the midi file, to see if you can open it with MusEscore. Thank you.

This isn't a created digital midi file, but an audio file, which extension was changed to mid. You can simply test it when you change the extension back to wav.
It doesn't work to create a midi file from an audio file by renaming it.

Thank you. I downloaded it as it is from a web page. So, I can not see the score? It is what interested me.

Yes, this file is an audio file (like a wav file or a mp3 file), only the file extension was changed to "mid".
It isn't possible to open or edit such an audio file inside a music notation program, because it doesn't contain any midi events (as it would be, when it would be created with a music notation program or midi editor).
That's the reason that you can't open it and see the score.
