Known Bugs

Midi File Played at Wrong Speed

A tempo change message was not found for the midi file, this is likely due to Transupposer not understanding the layout of this file. This shouldn't occur on files generated by software like MuseScore or Sibelius, as these programs were used in testing.

Resulting Midi File From Recording has Unwanted Sustained Notes Throughout The Piece

If your recording result has unwanted sustained notes that never end, it is due to a note off event for that note not being able to be found in the track, this could be caused by unusual midi event formatting like having note on and note off events in separate tracks and means that the file cannot be recorded from well. Files generated by software like MuseScore or Sibelius should be fine and not encounter this issue.
