Free online MUSX to MID converter

Finale scores are saved as MUSX files, but many sequencers, keyboards, and notation programs accept MIDI files instead. Converting to MID lets you transfer the score’s playable notes and timing for playback or editing in those tools.

What the MUSX format is

MUSX is Finale’s native score format, used by MakeMusic’s Finale notation software. It stores an editable music score, including notation and score layout; you may encounter it when someone shares a Finale project or when opening a score saved in Finale.

What the MID format is

MID is a common extension for Standard MIDI Files. It records musical events such as notes, timing, tempo, and instrument assignments rather than a page-formatted score, so it is useful for playback and for editing in digital audio workstations, sequencers, and other MIDI-compatible software or devices.

How to convert MUSX to MID

Online on 101convert.com

1. Upload the MUSX file on this page. Multiple files can be added for batch conversion; the per-file size limit is shown on the page.
2. Start the conversion and wait for the MID output.
3. Download the converted file or files.

The conversion runs on the site’s server with denigma, then MuseScore.

Offline with desktop software

In Finale for Windows or macOS, open the MUSX score and choose File → Export → MIDI. Select the destination and save the result with a .mid extension. Finale exports the score as MIDI events; it does not preserve the printed page layout.

Quality and limitations

MIDI carries musical performance data, not Finale’s full notation document. Staff layout, page formatting, and other engraving details do not transfer; playback details such as dynamics or articulations may be represented differently depending on the export settings and the receiving program.
