How to make sheet music from audio midi file with MuseScore

Tablatures are good to start with, but it's a limiting factor to progress. It is not so difficult to make a sheet music for ocarina, even if you don't know music theory. A few basics will be enough for you and the practice of a software like MuseScore will allow you to deepen your knowledge.

How to
Here are the steps to make a sheet music score from a midi file (easier with video game music of course !). Play with styles! Try to do it octave by octave if possible, otherwise it's best. You can transpose the whole instruments at once or measure by measure.
 * 1) Find the midi audio file.
 * 2) Import it into a score editor. Musescore opens midi files like a classic musescore file. There is no import menu.
 * 3) F12 to open Timeline, right-clic in instruments section to edit. Add a new instrument : Wood / Flute (It is the most practical instrument. Musescore offers ocarinas, but the sound is of poor quality.)
 * 4) Copy and paste all the measures of the melodic lines we are interested in. This can come from one instrument or from several instruments.
 * 5) F9 allows you to add covers, tempo, etc. F10 allows you to play only one instrument or a selection of instruments.
 * 6) Transpose measures if necessary (Tools / Transposition). In intervals, high / low, right octave
 * 7) Edit score properties like Title, Composer, etc.
 * 8) Add : text / title, subtitle, composer, etc.
