From Score to Sequence: How to Convert .mscz to MIDI

If you work with music notation, you are likely familiar with the .mscz file extension—the native format for MuseScore, the world’s most popular open-source notation software. However, if you want to take that sheet music and import it into a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) like Ableton Live, FL Studio, or Logic Pro to edit the sounds and arrange the production, you need a MIDI file.

How to export MusicXML from MuseScore: Same as MIDI export, just choose "MusicXML" instead. convert mscz to midi

Method 3: Using Third-Party Software

Some third-party software, such as:

Velocity handling: translate MuseScore dynamics and articulations to MIDI velocity with configurable scaling and offsets.

Tempo and time signature: export tempo map (including ritardando/accelerando approximations), time signature events, and metronome track option.

Repeats and D.C./D.S.: option to export played order (fully expanded) vs. written order (with repeat signs ignored).

• Expand repeats – flattens repeats into linear MIDI.
• Export only visible staves if needed.
• Export as MIDI file type 1 (keeps multiple tracks) or type 0 (single track) – use type 1 for separate instruments.

Risks and mitigations

Pro tip: If the MIDI sounds robotic, humanize the velocity and timing inside your DAW after import. From Score to Sequence: How to Convert

# Convert to MIDI midistream = stream.Stream() for element in score.flat: if isinstance(element, instrument.Instrument): # Handle instruments pass elif isinstance(element, note.Note): # Create note on/off events midistream.append(note.MIDIEvent(element.pitch.midi, element.duration.quarterLength))

The most reliable method to convert your score is directly within MuseScore Studio. This ensures all your notes and basic dynamics are captured accurately. Expand repeats – flattens repeats into linear MIDI
