i know there's some musicy people here, does anyone know what the current good software for viewing midi files as sheet music is?

@Felthry @FreyaManibrandr might have some tips.

@AliceGrimaude @Felthry The one sheet music software i use is MuseScore, although importing MIDI is a bit janky and you'll have to do the formatting yourself, because MIDI doesn't store key signature information, just the notes.

Exporting sheet music to MIDI works just fine tho.

@FreyaManibrandr @AliceGrimaude I looked at musescore and tried it, but it didn't work well--it makes sheet music but trying to play it (important for our ability to do what we want with it) it plays very unevenly, like it can't keep up with the notes

@Felthry @AliceGrimaude What audio driver mode were you using?

@FreyaManibrandr @AliceGrimaude uh, the default

i uninstalled musescore afterward because it wasn't working, maybe that was a little premature

@Felthry @AliceGrimaude Ahh, yeah, basically, MME 32-bit is garbage, and nobody should ever use it if they can help it. What you'd want is WDM/Windows Audio or ASIO. If neither is available, you can try downloading and installing ASIO4ALL

@FreyaManibrandr @AliceGrimaude I can't seem to get it to change off of MME, every time I do and then go back to the settings it's back to MME again

It lets me set it to MME, directsound, ASIO, WASAPI, or WDM-KS, but it doesn't seem toa ctually save that changed setting

@Felthry @AliceGrimaude That's weird, have you tried running it as administrator? Or making sure the folder or the settings file isn't read-only?

@FreyaManibrandr @AliceGrimaude Running as administrator does not fix it, no.

@FreyaManibrandr @AliceGrimaude the folder it's installed in is not read-only but could it be a problem with the fact that it's installed in a non-default location?

@Felthry @AliceGrimaude It can't be, I have Musescore installed in a default location for me too.

@FreyaManibrandr @AliceGrimaude do you mean it's installed in a non-default location?
