It is possible to import a MIDI-file in MusiCAD thereby converting it to an editable MusiCAD-file. However, conversion can be tricky sometimes. Especially live played performances are difficult to 'catch' using readable notation.

[Shortenings]
On translating midi-events to notes you may define that (very) short notes may be notated using staccato signs.
[Embellishments]
Embellishments like trill-signs may be used (or not) to when translating sequences of short notes.
[Start rest]
Start rest is often needed is multi-voice scores
[TempoChanges]
Inclusion of tempo-changes
[VolumeChanges]
Inclusion of volume-changes
[ChordSymbols]
Inclusion of chord symbols
[Lyrics]
Inclusion of lyrics.
[Lyricfs]
Sometimes barlines dividing long notes require a 're-bar' operation.
[Upbar]
use of pickup/upbar value sometimes helps transcribing a MIDI-file to notes
[split-point]
The split-point determines the lowest note that should be assigned to the treble-clef if a grand staff is chosen (select a P) for the clef.

Quantization parameters for [Shortest Note], [Shortest Rest] and [Shortest Duration] to qualify for a note determine the resulting score.
