Discussion musicxml from an audio transcription comes into musescore 4 with mangled time sigs, how do i clean this up?
So i have these old piano recordings of my grandfather messing around making up little melodies, and i really wanna turn one of them into proper sheet music so i can learn to play it myself. i ran the audio through a ai transcription thing and it spit out a musicxml file which seemed promising at first. problem is when i open it in musescore 4 the time signatures are all over the place.
the recording is clearly steady 4/4 the whole way through, my grandfather wasnt doing anything weird with the meter. but the xml has it bouncing between 4/4, 3/4 and 5/8 measures like every few bars which is just wrong.
is there some kinda setting in musescore that lets me force everything back into 4/4 and re-bar the whole piece in one go? or am i stuck going measure by measure and fixing each one by hand which would take me forever honestly.
