Import MIDI

NtEd can (try to) construct a score from a MIDI file. Note! There are many scores which would generate the same MIDI data. Therefore the MIDI to score conversion is ambiguous.

To import a MIDI file choose

FileImport MIDI ...

The MIDI import dialog appears:

MIDI import dialog

Decide whether NtEd shall try to recognize triplets! The 2nd checkbox determins whether or not NtEd shall try to recognize such triplets:

Triplets with rests

On the next field you can determine how many voices NtEd can use, because NtEd tries to distribute the MIDI tracks onto multiple voices if necessary.

The 2 sliders allow you to influence the density of tempo and volume signs. A value of 0 means "no signs". If you choose 100 it can happen that almost every note has a volume or tempo sign.

The button force piano forces a score with 2 staves per system and force one staff compels NtEd to use only one staff per instrument. By means of the checkbox use alto clef you can determine whether NtEd selects the alto clef.

Select the MIDI file and press OK! On last dialog you can determine the paper size and orientation.

Note

In some circumstances it can happen that NtEd hangs or crashes during MIDI import. Try to repeat the MIDI import with other parameters (no triplet recognition, other paper, ...) in this case.
