This is a common problem. Midi exported from a program

Rosegarten, go to each track and reselect the instrument, bank, etc. Then it
should play.
No, it has correct patch/instrument assignments. The instruments
literally sound out of tune in some places. In other places there are
extra notes that mostly sound like random junk.
I originally thought it was data corruption, but as I went through my
various files, it's very unlikely that so many have the same kinds
of errors.
Moreover, it seems to particularly affect some horns - trombone is
awfully wrong! I thought it might have to do with transposition - but
I usually wrote in concert pitch and would change it just to print a
part.
