I’ve imported a MIDI file, and I’m getting double noteheads on some notes.
I can’t get rid of them using Quantisation. And I can’t Filter one or other. (that I’ve found.)
Is there any other method?
No, unfortunately at the moment you’ll have to manually select and delete them. We have a task on the backlog to sort out filtering only one of these two notes in this kind of situation.
Has there been added a more comfortable solution to this issue since it has been asked? This becomes particularly relevant with the new midi import additions in D4.
Select the double notes and filter for the top (or bottom) note in chords. This will select only one of the notes (at least for me).
This does not work reliably in more “complicated” cases like this (which is not unlikely to happen with midi files where selective stacking of samples has been applied to in the original session).
In the below case the procedure was “select all” and use the filter top note in deselect mode:
So a dedicated command “filter duplicate notes” would be helpful.
Yes, that is a bit more tricky than the initial question of this topic! 
I’m curious to know why there are so many noteheads on these stems in the first place. Was this input via MIDI recording or imported as MIDI? Is this really a part for more than one instrument?
Hi, it just happened to me after copying all strings from a previous version over the string section in the latest.
Instead of copying over it inserts the notation into the one already there.
Is there an insert command that I can deactivate?

Two possibilities:
- Is chord mode activated by accident? If so notes will merge rather than overwrite.
- Different voices will not overwrite.
+1 for this. For me the problem is MIDI import. In cubase, it’s hard to notice if you have double notes, and it can happen if I record the same note by mistake in different tasks.
Cubase has a way to remove doubles with the MIDI logical editor but it only works if the timestamp of those are EXACTLY the same. But here - I’ll still get double notes if they are just very close.
Having a one click solution to remove them could be a huge timesaver for people that work from MIDI.
I regularly imported midi from Cubase 14 to Dorico 6 no problem. Now with Cubase 15 doubled and tied notes, absolute mess. Taking hours to delete what I don’t want. Is Cubase 15 the problem? or a glitch in Dorico?
Cubase can export Dorico files, so why use MIDI? (Or Music XML at least.)
