While dragging, a dashed line between the tempo text and the note or rest that it is associated to will be visible. To move tempo text, simply click and drag it.

To change the tempo text displayed, double click the tempo text and edit to your liking. Click the up/down arrows, use the up/down arrow keys on your keyboard, type in a value, or use the scroll wheel on your mouse (cursor must be over the value box for this last method to work). To change the tempo value, right click the tempo text and chose Tempo Properties. (Don't worry if you can't find the exact tempo you want or the name means nothing to you - you can change both of those things later.) The tempo name should now appear above that first note or rest.Ĥ. Choose one of the pre-defined tempos and click OK. from the top menu or use Ctrl+Alt+T (keyboard shortcut).ģ. Click the first note or rest of your score to select it.Ģ. As mentioned in Luthierzan's thread ( ), a MIDI file saved from MuseScore without explicit tempo information will be stuck at a fixed tempo when opened in Drum Tutor. I can't take credit for discovering or solving this issue, as it was covered in a previous thread (which was actually how I found MuseScore to begin with).

Preserving Tempo Adjustability of User-Generated MIDI Files In Drum Tutor

One of the nicest features of the Roland software (in my opinion) is the ability to open MIDI files other than the ones included and get the same feedback functionality from the software with those files. There is also 'game' mode with falling colored blocks (like in 'Guitar Hero' or 'Rock Band'), but if you're using MuseScore, then you're probably playing in notation mode. Correctly played notes get a blue circle around them, early/late/extra/incorrect notes get a red 'X', and missed notes remain unmarked. More specifically, it is comparing the drummer's pad triggering to a MIDI file that the software is playing. I thought it would be beneficial to create a single thread where we can document tips, tricks, issues, and experiences related to using these two pieces of software together.įor those of you not familiar with Drum Tutor, it is a piece of software from Roland that provides feedback to the drummer to make sure one is playing the right note(s) at the right time. It appears there are a number of others on here using MuseScore in conjunction with Roland's Drum Tutor electronic drum software.
