converting midi files in proper staff notations

I use noteworthy composer to import midi files but the staff notations look so dangerous to me - with 10 staffs being played together.I wonder how many fingers do I need to do this. Actually, I'm quite new to music itself. I've started learning keyboard recently. So,I don't know the proper method.
Can anyone help me?

Purvi, I suspect that your 10 stave file is an orchestral arrangement with several different instruments represented. (Hint: Look at <File><Page Setup><Contents> for a listing of all the stave names). If it is just a piano accompaniment, try increasing the 'maximum single track chord size' in the Import Wizard.

Thanks, Peter. You were right. There are several instruments.
Can you tell me some sites where I can get some free sheet music for beginners.

There's more places to get midi files than you can shake a stick at. Depends what you're looking for. Try http://midiworld.com/cmc/index.htm for starters, there are tons of classical midi files there.

Also look up the Crescendo Player homesite at http://liveupdate.com/crescendo.htm, you can pick up a free streaming midi player that's pretty cool when web-surfing. They also have links to sites using their streaming midi protocol. You'll be amazed at the diversity of midi music out there, especially if you have something a little better than the typical soundblaster card.

Once you've found some midi files you like, import them into Noteworthy Composer, edit and layout as desired (good practise!) and print them out. Viola! Free scores (except for the cost of paper and ribbon/cartidge).
