FAQs:
Q: is there a way to export all patterns into one chart?
A: in FL, make an extra layer and copy/paste all of the patterns into one. Then, export the midi for that layer
Q: is this only good for FL Studio songs?
A: No. Try any song. There are midi files out there for most songs too… just google any song followed by .midi

And what to do if I want to use the same MIDI to generate charts for, say, guitar and bass and have them import into the editor normally?
Not sure – I would follow the process above for each track and copy/paste using two instances of moonscraper. This tool is fairly limited. If you can get it working, let us know!
