| Aspect | How to Verify | |--------|----------------| | | Compare original score notes vs. MIDI notes in a DAW or MIDI monitor | | Rhythm & timing | Check MIDI event timestamps against score rhythm (resolution = 480–960 PPQ typical) | | Tempo | MIDI tempo meta events (Set Tempo) should match score’s tempo markings | | Dynamics | MIDI Velocity (0–127) mapped to score dynamics (ppp→fff). MuseScore usually maps well. | | Articulations | Staccato, accents → often converted as velocity changes or note length adjustments. Not perfect, but verifiable. | | Track/channel mapping | Each instrument in score → separate MIDI track/channel | | Playback completeness | No missing or extra notes |

Online tools are attractive for their speed and simplicity. However, due to the proprietary nature of the MSCZ format, they are often less reliable. Because they run on older parsing libraries, online converters have been known to fail, especially with newer file versions, corrupted files, or uncommon rhythms. If you choose an online converter, always verify the resulting MIDI file in MuseScore Studio or a DAW to ensure a correct conversion. convert mscz to midi verified
