Welcome to NinSheetMusic! The world's largest video game sheet music resource for pianists

Hello everyone! This is a slightly different announcement than usual. Rather than add some new arrangements to the site today, we’re excited to introduce a new tool that will help us create high-quality sheet music faster than ever.

In current times, AI is the most powerful tool at our disposal for a myriad of uses. Just in the last few decades, we have seen massive breakthroughs in health care, autonomous vehicle control, and many more exciting areas. We’ve also seen more and more applications for normal everyday usage, from home security to digital assistants and beyond. We are only beginning to see what kinds of applications AI can be harnessed for to make the world better.

That’s why we’re thrilled to roll out Encore!!™️, an AI-powered tool to help create sheet music for the site! Because NinSheetMusic specializes in Finale notation files, Encore!!™️ can help you generate one, given a MuseScore notation file or a YouTube video alone. Simply provide the tool with either source, and Encore!!™️ handles the rest of the arrangement for you. It is even integrated with our existing submissions system for you to receive timely feedback from our staff members once ready.

This tool is the result of years of research and months of programming, testing, and refining to achieve optimal accuracy and precision. The brainchild of fellow community member and computer tamer cacabish, Encore!!™️ was developed with a few primary key integrations. First, Encore!!™️ harnesses the power of FlatGPT to provide you with guidance via text for a comfortable user experience as you navigate the tool. The sheet music generation engine was created by hooking up Zeta, our custom bot helper around the site, to use all of the site’s sheet music files for training as examples of what our arrangements look like. Finally, we had one of our Code Monkeys, Th3Gavst3r, feed in countless music videos and MuseScore arrangements of all kinds of styles to ensure the model is able to handle the breadth of any video game music one might throw at it.

All of this together, along with careful manual tuning of various parameters, bring it finally to a point where we’re ready to open it up to the public. Without further ado, here it is!

Encore!!™️

Please enjoy being among the first to experience Encore and feel free to share suggestions on how we can make it even better!

“Who cares about the Finale, when you can have an Encore!!™️?”

This post was written with the assistance of Zeta, your increasingly-sentient friendly neighborhood NSM bot. Stay tuned for upcoming automated arrangement feedback features.

Hello everyone! I have a handful of announcements to make today regarding the staff. Please stick with me until the end of this post if you can. I’ll try not to be too long-winded

First up, regarding moderators! Longtime moderators MaestroUGC and braix will be retiring to Staff Emeritus. They've been helping keep the community in good shape since 2015 and 2016 respectively, back in the days when activity was primarily on the forums. Please thank them for their many years of assistance guiding the community to where it is today!

There’s news on the updating side as well. mastersuperfan will also be retiring to Staff Emeritus from the Ghost Updater role. He’s done a lot of sheet checking within the last few years and we owe a lot to him! Additionally I’ll be stepping back from updater work a little bit. I’ve done a lot since I came onboard the staff as an updater in 2015, but since last year I’ve found myself with less and less time for sheet checking. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere and nothing about my responsibilities is changing - I’ll just be checking sheets a little less often than I used to.

But that’s not all! Enough about reductions in the staff. You may have noticed that the current updaters (myself included) have been struggling a bit to keep up with submissions at the pace we would like to in order to have consistent quality updates. We’ve decided to bring Kricketune54 and XiaoMigros on board the staff as new Updaters! They will gracefully lend their spare time to help us review sheets and organize updates to keep the site moving along, so give them a big warm congratulations!

And that’s all for today! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask around or message me directly. See you around

...and that concludes our special NinSheetMusic drying-paint-watching workshop, which we will probably never do again.

We now return to your regularly scheduled updates.  Enjoy!

I was out chopping firewood since our boiler broke and found these sheets nailed to one of the trees in the forest.  What luck!  I even managed to resist using them as kindling, so you can all enjoy them!
