converting piano on multiple MIDI channels

Hi!
I have a MIDI file I'm trying to import where the piano has been split into 10 midi channels. I would like to print out the score with the piano part in 2 staffs. Any ideas on how to do this? Your help is greatly appreciated and excuse me if this is simple - - I'm new to MIDI!

I am not exactly clear on what you are trying to do, but in general, the "Maximum single track chord size" field in the MIDI File Import wizard is available to have Import automatically split a piano track into two staves. You can also manually set the split points by manually editing the list of import instructions in step 3 of the Import.

Just import it to 10 channels first. This should give you ten staffs.
Make a note of which ones are "left hand" and which are "right".
Use the MIDI import wizard again, and this time try and map all the different channels onto two channels.
I think this will do what you want to achieve. I can't run through it on my machine right now, so you'll just have to fiddle to get it working.
