Thanks Christian,
After a day of experimenting I will go the 2 scores route. Yes, I'll be
doing both: checking for wrong notes and outputting to a DAW.

want to do with the MIDI file. If it's only for listening
purposes to check for wrong notes, then you can send more
instruments (like alle the strings for example) to the same
channel. Disadvantage: they all sound the same and if the same
note occurs two times at the same time the first note that
ends cancels both, because they are one end the same note in
one channel.</div>
