Outside the catalogue, imported in one gesture
This piece is not in the Noctave catalogue: no level of the journey, no notes about it. But its score file (MusicXML) imports in one gesture, and Noctave then plays it as falling notes, with the score, like your own pieces.
We converted it ourselves from the Mutopia Project score, then checked it note by note against the source: 502 notes, no unexplained difference. Noctave lays out the PDF from the same file.
These files are under the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence, the one of the Mutopia Project edition they come from: you may copy, print, share and change them, crediting “Knute Snortum / Mutopia Project (Mutopia-2014/04/27-1935)” and the licence, and sharing your changed versions under the same licence.
Both files carry this notice themselves: in the footer of the PDF and in the “rights” field of the MusicXML.
