Render offset (ms)
Type: range
Default value: 0
Min: -250 Max: 250 Step: 1

Anacrusis beat amount
Type: range
Default value: 0
Min: 0 Max: 4 Step: 1
You can use this setting to define a number of beats that are meant as an anacrusis or pick-up in the song. Some MIDI files handle this themselves by setting a different time signature for the first measure, but that's not guaranteed.

Sheet Music
Show Sheet Music
Type: boolean
Default value: false

Use this to mabnually set a time signature for the song. This will causse all time signature events from the MIDI file to be ignored.
Minimum note denomination

Hide rests below & including duration
Type: list
Default value: Sixteenths
Hide all rests below a certain denomination. The detection of rests still depends on the 'Minimum note denomination' setting. This setting simply controls which are rendered.
