Importing Midi file causes chords to split up
Hello everyone,
I'm new to Musescore, trying to create sheet music from midi files. When I'm dragging a midi file (for synth/piano) onto the staffs, it's importing fine. However, it splits up chords as shown in the photo below. In the photo both staffs have a treble clef. I basically need two separate staffs for chords and melody.
Is there any way to prevent it from doing so or to easily combine the three notes again? As it happens with all the files so far I'm looking for a convenient fix...
It'd be so great if someone could help me with this. I tried searching for the problem, but I couldn't find anything specific for that issue.
Greetings and thank you very much in advance!

I don't know how to prevent this, but you can easily combine them:

I'm not sure if the reason for this is not the midi file itself.
I only have very few midi files on my PC. With those I can't observe any splitting of the staves in the way you describe.
However, I use MuS 3.6.2.
If the copyright allows it, could you perhaps attach your midi file?

Ok, I can also observe this in MuS 3.6.2.

But there are some options for the MIDI import. One of them is 'Split stave'. If I deactivate it and press 'Apply', I only get a single staff. See picture.

BTW: there is also a German part of the forum.
The file name of your screenshot indicates that you are also German ... :-).

Very cool, thank you so much.. :) I'll have to figure out where that bar is on the mac though.. I can't see it.
I'm indeed Germany but maybe other people can benefit from the post if we stick to English

Ah I've just found out that those options are apparently missing in the newest version (4)? So I'm installing 3 now and testing again

There you can find things which are not (yet) implemented in MuS 4. https://musescore.org/en/node/334701
This list is probably not complete and in further MuS 4 versions it should become shorter ...
