Hello.
I need to print a music sheet (music score? what's the right name?) of a part of piano for a friend.
I exported the track to midi and tried some free stuff to obtain a decent sheet..... without success.
I tried Aria Maestosa, Muse Score, and Notation Player 3. The latter provided the best results by tweaking lenght notes to obtain the clearest score possible.... but failed to print it (an unknown error). The other two stuffs showed absolute garbage.

So i'm asking for help to this community. Can someone obtain a decent score from this midi file?
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/265 ... _SHEET.mid

I have nothing to offer in exchange but gratitude... sorry.
And pls pardon my poor english.

Thanks

If it's for just a one-off job you could try the 30 day demo version of Steinberg's Cubase Elements - no dongle required.

I don't know why MuseScore is producing total garbage there. What it did here was deal with the syncopation like so:

Which isn't the best, or the conventional and more readable way. So, it looks like you are having to do some work. I made the first several bars* the correct way (more or less) and I'll give you a MuseScore file but I'm not going to do all of it. (*: The 1st 21 bars are a model for the rest of the syncopation so you can complete it. MuseScore appears to be pretty easy to work with. I'm using v. 1.2.)

if you open that in MuseScore and it does not look like this but like something crazy:

There is a problem I can't really help with at this time.

Additionally there are niceties it didn't provide automatically, such as here the ties of two notes are in the same direction which isn't the prettiest notation, but if you need that you're prob'ly going to need to take some time.

Finale also has a 30 day demo.

Thanks guys.
While tampering with Muse, i'm stumbled in this site:
https://www.noteflight.com/
which produced a nice scoresheet without almost no work.
So thanks a lot and take a look at that site, perhaps you'll find useful

Well, the first bars of that are exactly what I got with MuseScore. That's not the best way to express that syncopation, which I revealed to you. And, evidently there are sustaining notes later that are missing there. But hey, you're welcome. I'll delete it from my dropbox.

Question from an ignorant about sustained notes:
when the notes are sustained by the pedal, but not by the key hold down 'cause you have to move the hand away, the score should represent the lenght on the sustained note, the lenght of the played note (with some annotation that the pedal is down) or what?

You can specify sus pedal by the conventional pedal sign; if the notes are not held down so the sustain is a result of the sus pedal per se, I would advise not writing tied notes.
