How to convert single MIDI tracks to one drum track?
Hi,
I'm downloading these drum patterns from http://midi.teragonaudio.com/files/beats.htm, but the file (1950's Ballad) has drums one sound per MIDI track. I would like to have has all drums on one track. Can MusE "convert" or export the tracks to one drum track?

Yes it can!
If you place all parts on the same track, select them, right click on them and select "Super Glue", they will be merged.
You can also convert back and forth between MIDI and Drum tracks by right clicking on the small keyboard (or drum) icon in the Arranger window.

Thanks, but I wasn't clear, sorry. I had several drum tracks per file. I would like to merge to one. This is what I have now:
And I would like to have only one drum track with all the instruments, rather than one instrument per track.

Well, if you drag all parts to the SAME track, select them all, and do what I wrote, they will be merged. I promise, it works (just tried it)!
Next you just remove the empty drum tracks, and connect the single drum track to a soft synth drum machine/sampler.

You are right, in this case (i guess) soxmidi can't help, I checked the midi file and there are consecutive regions.
@oscillator suggestion works.
in mix, nobody can hear your screen
