Hi Nils
Yes I am aware that midi is a lower level information than score.
I did not make it very clear in my question earlier (sorry about that) that
this particular piece
-- bach C# minor fugue --
is not specifically important to me as working out a workflow which allows
lifting a given midi to a higher score level.  Nted does a decent job of
this. Musescore less so.  Just searching for the best tool.
Earlier I used nted exclusively. Since now I have a bunch of non-musician
non-linux users getting interested I need something cross platform -- hence
musescore.

Currently my modus operandi (when starting with a midi file):
Read into nted.
Export midi staff by staff separately.
Read each of those midis separately into musescore
Paste together.

And so I am just looking for some better tools...
