midi import

1. Open attached mscz (produced in 1.3).
2. 'File'>'Export…'.
3. Choose 'MIDI'.
4. 'Save'.
5. Open MIDI.

Result: The trumpet appears as a string ensemble.

Notes:

Also attached is the produced MIDI file.

Aria Maestosa 1.4.10, Finale 2014c.v4736, MuseScore 1.3 and Sibelius 7.5 show it as trumpet.

It's not reproducible if instruments without notes are removed, prior to export.

Notes:

The middle stave has no instrument name (also as seen when testing with a piano score).

Discussion:

I don't know if an instrument name should appear for the bottom stave.
