Importing a Drum Midi file into Muse Score from EZ Drummer 2

• Jun 9, 2020 - 21:12

Hi,

I'm looking at using musescore to convert some of my drum midi files to sheet music. I've started off with something simple a short 4 bars output to Midi via EZ Drummer 2. Musescore seems to be unable to understand the file correctly. I've attached the test midi file I was using.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Its a lot of work unless you make the EZ drummer file a drum file. I copied the treble clef in bars 1-3 and the bass clef in bar 4 into a percussion staff and deleted the piano. I then checked the drumset box, saved and exported back to Midi. It might be easier just to write for EZ drummer using the Midi out and building a drm file.

  • export MIDI clip in Ableton
  • open MIDI file in MuseScore
  • In Mixer set to Drumset and Sound to MDL_DrumSet
  • Select first stave
  • Tools > Voices > Exchange Voice 1 – 2
  • Select second stave and Copy
  • Select first stave and Paste
  • Tools > Voices > Exchange Voice 1 – 2
  • Edit > Instruments and remove second stave
