Transcribing a Disklavier Performance

2006-11-27 by Ken Gorman

Hi,

I recently downloaded some midi files to play on my
Disklavier. 

I used Sibelius to try to transcribe a saved MIDI file
into a score that I could then play.  The MIDI file I
used is here:

http://www.yukopiano.com/media/xmas/OHolyNight_ConcertHallVersion.mid

One of the difficulties Sibelius ran into was "hand
split".  The program had difficulty assigning the
notes to the correct hand.  Further, the program used
2 voices - one for the treble clef and one for the
bass clef.  Some note incorrectly assigned to the bass
clef were marked using additional ledger lines.  These
additional ledger lines ended up on top of the treble
clef obscuring the notes there.

If I manually re-assigned the notes to the correct
clef, the problem disappeared.

Other than manually going through the entire score and
correcting all these things, can anyone offer any
suggestions?  Are there any options in Sibelius that
may be incorrectly set?  

Thanks,

Ken
