In Progress:
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! - Main Theme  
Mario Party 6 - Faire Square  


*Forgive me if my .MUS files are not very neat. I use Sibelius and only have Finale Notepad.

It would be helpful if you could provide a MIDI or MUS file so that we are able to listen to it.

Ok, sorry about that!

So here is the link to the actual soundtrack:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XPhjrMIvMc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XPhjrMIvMc)

and here is the MIDI from the version I arranged:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ziazvp1jzh9bx88/New%20Rally-X%20Theme.mid (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ziazvp1jzh9bx88/New%20Rally-X%20Theme.mid)

So how can I get more people to review this score and how do I know if it is accepted?

It seems that submissions and arrangements and everything has been split up into more organized sections so while you keep your arrangements here, actual submissions would go somewhere here I believe (http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?board=32.0). I don't submit myself though. As for critique on my work and such.. I haven't a clue. I've tons of sheets, but hardly any feedback so I'm pretty clueless there myself. But I do know that others get feedback (most esp. when they're in the submissions area).

Oh ok well that makes sense, I guess I'll post there, thank you.

I have been looking for this song everwhere for piano!!  ;D
Great Job!! Keep up the good work!!  ;D

Awesome! I'm glad it's helped you! I couldn't find it anywhere either, so I decided to make it.

Great! what do you plan to arrange\transcribe in the future?

Well I'm currently working on transcribing a piece from Pikmin 2. I'll probably do a good bit from that game, as well as some Namco games.

Cool! I like the music from Namco games!  :)

You also did a good job on sammer's kingdom!

Thanks! Glad you liked it, that one wasn't all me though, I did some editing, because the intro of the previous one was incorrect. I also changed a little toward the end, but yeah Namco game music is awesome! Too bad some of the games don't have all that much music though

Do you think you could post it anyways? I think I noticed some errors in it, but I'm not sure.

Yeah sure thing! I already posted both into the submissions page, but I'll post "Sammer's Kingdom" on this thread as well. And here is the Xevious Theme as well! I just did this one so there may be some errors.

Do you guys have any tips on cleaning up my posts? The hyperlinks look really messy.

Quote from: Winter on December 06, 2011, 12:00:54 AMIt's simple. First use

Code Select Expand

[url=http://mediafire.com/skdjghskdf]
Next, write the text you want to appear followed by [/url]

Code Select Expand

Mus[/url]
It will look like this before you post it

Code Select Expand

[url=http://mediafire.com/skdjghskdf]Mus[/url]
And this afterwards:

Mus (http://mediafire.com/skdjghskdf)

Remember those steps, I'll show you again with the {} brackets.

{url=LINK GOES HERE}THE TEXT YOU WANT US TO SEE GOES HERE{/url}

And all the coding is orange.

Of course, I probably made it look hard, Damn.

Wow, there were a lot more mistakes than I thought. I guess since you only added the into, you don't take any blame for them.  ;)

Anyways:

-For the intro, that melody in the base clef is almost staccato, so the pedal doesn't really work with it. I'd see if you can you the sostenuto pedal for the chords before the pedal.

-In general, the melody is inaccurate throughout the song. Not really note wise, it's just that ornamentation is added where it shouldn't be and omitted where it should be.

-Same goes for the bass, it's actually 2 voices and pretty different from whats notated there.

-Actually, the voicing throughout the whole song is off. Measure 7-14 there's a pretty obvious higher voice, but it's not too important and voice be left out (plus it'd be hard to transcribe anyways.) Measure 15-22 there's an extremely important counter melody that shouldn't be left out. What's notated now just appears to be random intervals that don't correlate with whats actually there. 23 onward is just crazy, I'd listen to it more, but I think there's 2 voices in the base clef and 2-3 in the treble. I'd look into notating as much as you can.

-I'm not gonna bother with accidentals n' such for now.

I'd be a bit more specific if you had a mus as it's kinda hard to correct a sheet via PDF and youtube. Anyways, if you need help with anything regarding this song, I'll be more than glad to (SPM music is the best.)

Haha well the ornamentations were me :p but it's OK, I was trying to use that as a substitute for the vibrato of the melody. But yeah I noticed the bass wasn't very accurate, but I kinda liked it so I left it. I think I'll just re-do the entire rest of the piece to make a version that is more like the actual piece, rather than one that is just arranged for piano.

I got what you were saying about the sostenuto pedal, too. I researched it and I didn't even know there was such a thing! Haha so you definitely helped learn there. That pedal seems VERY useful!

As for the .MUS files...how can I create one? I'm running through Sibelius 6. If you could just provide a link where I could download it that would be fine...if it's something that is downloaded.

To Bubbles:
Thanks! That was actually very easy to understand! I took a couple of HTML coding courses so I understand it a little bit. That is if this HTML coding used in this forum. But anyway, thanks!

I'm going to give it a try down here.
 PDF  (https://www.dropbox.com/s/o4a0gi7w4h2yx0d/Super%20Paper%20Mario%20-%20Sammer%27s%20Kingdomv2.pdf)

.Mus is the file type used for finale, so you'd have to download finale notepad:
http://www.finalemusic.com/products/finale-notepad/resources/ (http://www.finalemusic.com/products/finale-notepad/resources/)

I'm not sure if there's a way to convert Sibelius files to mus, so if you need me to make one, I'd gladly do it (I just copy the pdf in finale, however, you'll only be able to edit it with finale.)

As for ornamentation, the main issue is that those trills are in the wrong spot.

Ahh OK. Well I'm going to listen to that piece a good bit and try to transcribe it more accurately. And I'll research how I can convert my .sib files into .mus files. Then I'll post "Sammer's Kingdom" again to get some more critiques!

I have no time to thoroughly critique, but I downloaded Xevious (3D Classics version) from the eShop a while ago.  I approve of this song  :) It sounds fairly accurate.  Good job.

Quote from: jegilmer on September 02, 2013, 10:28:53 AM[...]how I can convert my .sib files into .mus files [...]

Does Sibelius support .xml files?

To TheZeldaPianist275: Thanks! I'm glad you think it's good, and yeah Xevious is awesome, but it's so ridiculously hard! (At least on the console I have it for)

To Kimmel: Yes Sibelius supports it, but when I import it the magnetic layout is off and everything looks like a jumbled mess. But it's not too hard to tidy up.

Should I worry about whether a piece can be played? For example, say there is a piece that has 3 voices that are spread more than an octave apart each. It's not possible for one person to play, so should I still include all of the voices in the octaves that the song has them in? Or should I re-write them closer together so that it is possible for one player to play them?

Thanks!

I'm gonna have to answer this vaguely, because it changes from situation to situation.

When you first arrange something, ignore playability (this part is optional, I just find it can make it easier.) Once you've finished the song (or a section) go back and do whatever you can to make it playable. If it's moving octaves, then do it. If you final product sounds like the original piece, you did a good job.

EDIT: Oh, btw, I found this if you wanna be more accurate to the original. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R0WIz9SLZU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R0WIz9SLZU)

Then export it as a xml file. A Finale-User can open (it's more accurate than a MIDI-File) and save it as a mus file.

All sheets on the main site must be playable. It's fine if it's really hard, but it can't be impossible or unrealistic.
(^The problem with all of my first arrangements. :P)

Ah Ok, well I'll make it possible! Definitely won't be easy though. But thanks for letting me know.

Sure thing.

Can anyone import some of my arrangements and export them as .MUS files for me? I will supply the music.XML files.

I'm not sure how to do that, but if I you can give me a PDF, I can just manually make them.

Sorry for asking (and double posting), but how's Sammers Kingdom comming along? If you don't think your gonna finish it, I'd like to take it off your back (It's like my new favorite song ._.)

Ehh I started school a couple of weeks ago and I'm overloaded with work so I haven't been able to work on it sadly. So you can go ahead and have at it! Did you want to used the file I had or just start from scratch? And I downloaded Finale Notepad so I'm going to try to use it to import my arrangements then export as .MUS files. If that fails then I'll send you my files if you want, and you could convert them to .MUS's for me.

I have updated the files to my previous arrangements, here are the new links:

You should also put all your arrangements on your very first post

Yeah that's a good idea, I saw how you had yours like that and I really liked it. How do you keep your arrangements at the very top?

Hit the "Modify" button on your first post, and just add in the links/change things to how you want them to look.

Wow...haha sorry I can ask some pretty obvious questions, but thank you!

No problem :)

You should put Sammers Kingdom there too...

Alright, I will. But FireArrow is taking it over and he is going to add the counter melodies and the correct bass line. Just so you know.

Finally finished another arrangement after about 6 months...
I've been busy with school and studying. This is just a really simple piece that plays whenever someone gets the "chain chomp" special. I LOVE Mario Kart: Double Dash!! It's probably my favorite Mario Kart game, so I'll probably do more pieces from this game. I used to live on this game with my friends, and actually, I still play it a lot. So aside from that little note...check it out and let me know what you think! I tend have a hard time picking out harmonies, so I might be a little off in the right hand, so just let me know so I can improve it.

Nice! The bass is actually an octave lower than you have now....

Oh okay, I fixed it. If there are any other problems just let me know! :)

Here is another quick little arrangement that I did. I can't tell if there is a slight ritardando at the end. I don't think there is, but I have a tendency to overthink things and second-guess a lot. So again, just let me know if there are any corrections that I can make! Thank you!

Here's another quick little piece that I have transposed and arranged! Let me know if there are any changes that I can make. I'm not too sure if the slurs that I put are necessary, so feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Awesome! You have talent my friend  ;D
Are you accepting request? (I have been yelled at in the past for requesting on people's pages without asking)

Haha well thank you very much! I still think you're arrangements are way better! Haha but yeah I'll take some! It may take me a while, because my schedule is unpredictable! But I've never had a request so sure!

To anyone who has a version higher than Finale Notepad, I could use some tidying up of my .MUS scores. Because I use Sibelius 6.

Here is a piece from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This is the longest piece I've transcribed and arranged so far, I'm still pretty new to this, so don't hesitate to point out errors or things I can do to improve the arrangement. Thanks!

It's in C minor and you're a bit flat on voices, but overall it's a good arrangement of it.

Nice :)
Im kinda busy right now. Ill give you feedback later :)

Quote from: FireArrow on May 27, 2014, 07:55:23 AMIt's in C minor and you're a bit flat on voices, but overall it's a good arrangement of it.

Yeah you're right. I wasn't sure since there were so many chromatic parts in there. Can you point out voices are flat for me? It got pretty difficult to hear some of the really low voices. Thanks for letting me know though!

In the intro, the only thing you're really missing is the the really low pitched drum (dunno what it is.) I did write out the into (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/8o1xq51ffc8zw5c/Hooktail%20Castle.mus?dl=1&token_hash=AAHTzightR2VOAZ6eMS5SX7AfxGL7p4ZkF9uWQdCfCI2SQ&expiry=1401248876) for fun a couple weeks ago, so while it's probably not accurate, feel free to use it for reference with the lower voice.

I think the rest up to measure 15 is right. The first 8 measures of the second page are... impossible for me to figure out. I think there's two melody voices who may or may not be doing the same thing, and two base voices, one I can't really hear at all (could also just be the lower melody one ._.)

I think till the end is close enough...? Yeah, I guess you've got everything written down that I can hear. There sounds like there's a lot more "hidden" voices, but I'm not sure they're worth looking for (this is song is so SPM it makes me sick.) I'll help you with accidentals and stuff when you get it into C-minor.

On another subject, reading through this thread, it looks like I promised you I'd do Sammer's kingdom. Forgot about that one! I'll start working on it, but bleh, I promise nothing. Whoever composed this stuff is insane.

Here is a copy of the intro with the correct notes (I think), tempo marking, and key signature: https://www.dropbox.com/s/32yi4p2lhcuhyx1/Hooktail%20Castle.mus

For the rest of the song.... I dont know how to give you advice or tell you what to change (unless I do it for you). This is a pretty tough song. If you would like me to fix it up for you (fix some notes, odds and ends, etc.) just tell me :) I wouldn't want to change your arrangement without your permission.

Yeah I know right! It's awesome music though. But alright yeah I think it's the timpani, and I think your version was pretty accurate with the low voice I was missing.

Some of the voices get so low and muddy it's so hard to hear, I had to use a program to raise the whole piece an octave up so I could tell what those notes were!

There really are so many voices in this piece, it's hard to choose which ones are important and which ones you could leave out, but thanks for the advice and help!

Haha I wouldn't worry too much about Sammer's Kingdom, the only thing I really wanted was the main melody and it's there for the most part, but if you ever do get around to it, I'll definitely check it out!

Oh and I put it into C Minor now

That's up to you if you want to help out! I did not realize what I was getting myself into when I said I would transcribe this piece...Haha. There's so many different voices going on! But Ok, in the intro I keep hearing this voice that is playing an Eb that I notated in my version of the intro. Thanks for the feedback and help though!

Ok :)
Since you already submitted it, I'd let Olimar worry about it  :P

Quote from: jegilmer on May 28, 2014, 04:33:46 PMIt's awesome music though.

Haha! I love the music from this game too :)

Haha alright, plus I know there's a lot more paper Mario pieces you're probably working on.

Quote from: jegilmer on May 29, 2014, 06:38:05 AMHaha alright, plus I know there's a lot more paper Mario pieces you're probably working on.

Yeah, but if you need help I'd gladly help you :)

Ok thanks! :)

I couldn't help myself, while I was working on "Professor Frankly's Theme", I noticed this one, X-Mail (or Mystery E-mail I've seen it written as), was very short and needed to be done still, so I just went ahead and knocked it out. I'm pretty sure this one is 99.99% correct, but the rhythmic notation could probably be better, as well as the whole deal with the repeats. Please give feedback! Thanks.

I think it is in 12/8....am I right guys?

Ahhh yeah you're probably right. That would definitely clean up the notation a good bit, thanks!

So this piece was pretty difficult for me since I'm fairly new to this. There are some specific parts I need help with:

• There are some parts that are impossible to play because the intervals are too large and because notes overlap in voices. I wasn't sure which voices to leave out and what octave they should be in, so I wanted other opinions on this.
• I'm also not sure what key this is in, a lot of it sounds like it couple be some sort of Lydian, so I don't know what to put for the key signature
• The last thing isn't too big of a deal, but I'm not sure about where the double bar lines should occur.

Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

Sweet! Your done :)
Um....feedback:

In measures 1 & 2 (and other places like that) the bass and treble notes run together. Maybe you should change that. I'd put, in measure 1, E (below the staff) on beat one, E (in the staff) on beat 2 then E (below the staff) on beat 3 and E (in the staff) on beat 4 etc.

In measures 7 & 8 the bass notes are more than an octave apart and would NOT be possible to play on piano. I'd change that to a playable option.

In the last 4 measures, the notes run together (like in measures 1 & 2).

Nice work with your notes :) They sound good.....but the accidentals are a HUGE mess.
There should be a Key Signature. I want to say its in E Minor, but I'm not 100% sure.
You'll have to ask someone else (Jompa or Olimar).

Overall, Good Job!  ;D

Not E minor. I'm not entirely sure, but it sounds like a harmonic minor to me. Maybe A? And I think the first 2 lines are in the key of B major. Yeah, after listening to it again, it sounds like A harmonic minor.

Haha right, I wasn't sure if should raise the right hand an octave or lower the left hand an octave, because I believe those are the actual notes and I think they're in the right octaves. but in order for it to be playable, I guess I should raise one an octave so it still has the same exact line just an octave higher.

And for those large intervals...I know it's not possible, but I went ahead and transcribed both lines, but I wasn't sure which one to omit.

And last but not least! the key signature...so apparently this piece modulates a decent amount. So I was taught that "if a piece modulates a good bit, then you don't add key signatures changes every few measures. Instead just leave it in the key that the piece is in most of the time." Can someone elaborate on whether this is the preferred way of doing this or not?

Anyway, so I agree with maelstrom that this piece is in A harmonic minor (or actually E dominant phrygian) majority of the time. Which the key signature would be no sharps or flats right?

Thank you both for the feedback though! :) I'm trying to learn how to improve!

Can someone elaborate on whether this is the preferred way of doing this or not?

I don't think there's a specific rule, but there are certain ways that are more desirable based on the style of the piece. If the modulations separate sections of the music (best way I can put it),  then you should probably notate it. If they flow with the piece, then don't.

Example of one you should notate modulations. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpAnVHZDR3w)
Example of one you shouldn't. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaiDIoGo9KE)

For this song, I'd personally do so. Really, the only important case in which people will bug you is if you notate key signatures in a fugue (or anything baroque/following that pattern for that matter.)

Oh Ok that makes sense! Thanks for the examples and the explanation. And I'll go ahead and make some changes to the pieces that I've just worked on.

Actually when I listen to the piece again, it seems like most of the piece is in some modes based on e. But I might be wrong. Except for maybe the intro bit and the last theme which could possibly have the key signature for B Major. Is that right?

Quote from: jegilmer on June 05, 2014, 08:45:08 AMExcept for maybe the intro bit and the last theme which could possibly have the key signature for B Major. Is that right?

Yep. Just what I said.

Ok so I've updated my score for Frankly's Theme, let me know if this looks a little better. I still need to find out which voice to drop in the left hand at measures 7 and 8, so disregard that for now.

Where is the link with the revised version? They one on the front page is the old one.

That's weird, it's working for me. Does it have the key signature for B Major in the first measure? It still looks very similar to the older version. But if it's not working maybe I can try reposting the link

Ohhhhh I forgot to update the finale file. Thanks for pointing that out!

Quote from: maelstrom. on June 05, 2014, 09:02:46 AMYep. Just what I said.

Sorry, should've said I agree with you on that. I wasn't trying to seem like I was ignoring you or anything

Ok :)
What ones from TTYD are you planning to do next?

Awesome. This is probably more than I can do, but the ones I would like to do are:
Hall of the Thousand-Year Door (working on), Doopliss Theme (Not Battle Theme), Boggly Woods, Mysteries of the Glitz Pit, and Cortez Battle (Replacement).

The ones I want to do the most after Hall of the Thousand-Year Door are:
Doopliss Theme and Cortez Battle

Haha! Ok
Cant wait till "Hall of the Thousand Year Door" is done :)

Finally after being on vacation, I've finished my arrangement for Hall of the Thousand-Year Door. So there are some synth arpeggiated parts that I could not figure out, so if anyone wants to help me out with that, it would probably be beneficial to the arrangement. As far as the key of the piece, it sounds like its tonic is E to me.

Awesome! Ill give you feedback on it later. Im busy right now...

Alright sounds good!

Fixed up your arrangement :): https://www.dropbox.com/s/kjg6m5hqkl4llgx/Paper%20Mario--The%20Thousand-Year%20Door%20-%20Hall%20of%20the%20Thousand-Year%20Door.mus
You were missing quite a few notes...

Awesome, thanks! Yeah this one was hard for me to hear. It seemed so odd arranging it for piano since this piece has so much sustain to it. But I just wanted to get it over with to move on! Haha, maybe someone could add in those little since riffs later on , too.

Where are those riffs?
Oh and your doing "Boggly Woods" "Doopliss's Theme" and "Cortez Battle"? (These are the ones you told me you wanted to do :p )
Anyway thats fine if you don't want to do them :)

Yep those are the ones! I'm currently working on Cortez Battle. Since that one had a good starting point.
But one is around 0:25 and the other is around 0:38-0:46. They have a lot of delay or something like that on them so it's hard to hear for me.

And i'll make those corrections and post update the score!

And now that you filled in those missing notes, I'm hearing the piece with A as the tonic note. So I guess it'd be in a mix between A major and A mixolydian...I think.

Boggly Woods might be hard for you to hear...If you want me to do it I will :)

That's up to you! I'm pretty much done with "Doopliss's Theme", and I'm really close to being done with the revision of "Cortez Battle". So I guess I'll give "Boggly Woods" a shot, but I may end up needing your help! Haha. ;)

Ok :)
I'll give you as much help as you need :)

Alright awesome!

Here is Doopliss Theme from Paper Mario: TTYD! Give me some feedback please, I'm not sure if this pieces is in A minor or what. It was a little difficult to figure out the rhythm at first, but it's a great track!

For starters just use an 8va for the first measure.

edit: And an 8vb also. Looks pretty good
and the note beaming could be fixed on measure 5
And I'd say it's in D Major, but I'm not 100% sure. It's still closer than C

Ill have feedback on tomorrow :)
Busy today...

Yeah I agree with you on the 8va/vb! And yeah there isn't too much to the piece so it's hard to tell the key, but you're right, the tonic is definitely D. So I'll just go with D major for now. I also edited the beaming on m. 5, 9, and 13.

Thanks for the feedback! :D

And ok mariolegofan!

Here is a revised version of "Cortez Battle"! This is my favorite battle music from TTYD, so I really wanted to get this one done. I think it starts out in C minor then modulates to D minor in the middle, but someone should double check. It's a fast pace piece, so if anyone hears something wrong, let me know please!

And thanks to Jimbabwe for the previous version, it would have taken a good bit longer if I didn't have anything to go off of!

cheecking right now :)

Fixed it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v3y3j46hu0l096i/Paper%20Mario--The%20Thousand-Year%20Door%20-%20Cortez%20Battle.mus

Here's what I did:
Measures 1 & 3 & 5: Changed last note to G
Measures 7 & 8: Fixed accidentals up
Measures 7-10: Changed the bass to make it accurate and easier for the player
Measures 11 & 12, 15 & 16: Fixed up the bass
Measures 11-18: Put right hand down an octave like in the original, added articulation and dynamics. And in the bass I fixed the notes. Nice job with articulation in those measures :) Thats exactly what I would of put.
Measures 19-26: Fixed the left hand. The notes and notation are correct but for the beaming, you'll have to ask someone else. I'm not sure...
Measure 28 (Last measure): I know the last 8 notes are incorrect so I just left them. I cant figure them out :/
- I added dynamics throughout
- I'm not sure about the Key at all. You'll have to ask someone else...
I recommend you invest in a FULL version of Finale. Finale Notepad is just bull.
And I recommend you head over to the Live Feedback Thread. Olimar looks over your sheets on tinychat and is very very very helpful and gives excellent suggestions and tips :)

Overall good job and keep up the good work!!!

Doopliss Theme
Measure 1: I'd use a 15va there for those high notes.
I am TERRIBLE with note beaming and I dont know at all what to tell you about this piece.
I'd ask someone who truly knows about this stuff: Jompa, Donvalentino, Olimar12345, Dekutrombonist.......
Probably Jompa or Don. Olimar and Deku are real busy.

Went through the Cortez arrangement just now and when I got to measures 10-18 I had to manually input what the notes were because they were so far above the staff. Wouldn't it be better to change to the treble cleff for that section?

Ok thanks! I'll look through and listen to the piece again to see if I agree with everything! Just so we can be sure that the arrangement is spot on! thanks though!

- Sorry it took so long to reply!

Oh whoops, no. I tried opening that earlier when I had the original open so it didn't update. Thanks for alerting me. XP

QuoteHere's what I did:
Measures 7 & 8: Fixed accidentals up

How do you know whether to use sharps or flats here? I used flats since it was descending chromatic scale, but it seems like they could be neighbor notes (sharps) like you had. It's sort of confusing.

Not sure. I have trouble with that too...

Alright, so after reading through and comparing scores and listening to the piece a lot more, here is what I updated:

Measures 1 & 3 & 5: Changed last note to G like you did

Measures 7 & 8: Fixed accidentals up like you did

Measures 7-10: Changed the bass to make it accurate and easier for the player like you did, however I added the slurs that we also had when that bass figure returned later in the piece (19-26). Also, there are two quarter notes in measure 10 that I keep hearing, so I left those in there.

Measures 11 & 12, 15 & 16: Fixed up the bass like you did

Measures 11-18: Put right hand down an octave like in the original, added articulation and dynamics. And in the bass I fixed the notes. updated this part as well.

Measures 19-26: Fixed the left hand. The notes and notation are correct but for the beaming, you'll have to ask someone else. I'm not sure...I'm not sure about the beaming either, I'll have to check. But I fixed the left hand like you pointed out, but I kept the notes I had for the right hand. Those are the notes I'm hearing. Actually, it sounds like I have the right notes, but there is also a D with each note, which makes it more difficult to play and very dissonant.

Measure 28 (Last measure): I know the last 8 notes are incorrect so I just left them. I'm not too sure about this part either. I even tried slowing the song down to figure it out and it was still really muddy.

Quote from: Ganondorf on August 31, 2014, 12:40:44 PMOh whoops, no. I tried opening that earlier when I had the original open so it didn't update. Thanks for alerting me. XP

haha it's ok!

Here is a short arrangement from one of my favorite worlds from the game Wario World!!! It's such a fun game. My next arrangement will be the long delayed Boggly Woods.

finale file link doesnt work.....

Anyway, Great Job!
Only thing: Measures 9-12 (the melody), I'd put a pp there. That is really in the original.

Can't wait for Boggly Woods!

Ok awesome thanks! I changed it to pp! Yeah sorry about the finale file, I was in the midst of notating it haha. But I'm about to upload it.

Ok!

Alright I got it uploaded!
It's still not that neat.

Could you do a couple of things for me?

Sure! Whatcha need?

The top notes in the first few bars run into the text, but I can't move the bars themselves.
There are also a few extra bars at the end of the piece
The first phrase of the melody should be in treble clef. Then the last phrase should remain in bass cleff

I'll fix that stuff for you!

Now that you supplied a mus., I got a better looked. Noticed this stuff.

Bars 3-6: The melody here is 2 octaves to low. These notes should be staccatod not slured.
Bar 4: You added some notes that aren't in the original.

Bars 9-11: These notes are an octave to low. You are also missing a few notes here.
I hate to say it, but most of the melody notes are wrong, but luckily my strong point is my ear!


Here is all the stuff I talked about above fixed plus the stuff you wanted in your comment fixed:

This song was pretty tough to hear. But Good Job!
You should submit it! :)

Yeah that's right, I wrote the first phrase in too low because I didn't know how to change it from bass cleff to treble and didn't want to read the ledger lines hahah. But yeah the other phrase was an octave too low.

In bar 4 I did put an extra note. I thought I heard it repeat, but I think the long release time on the instrument made me think it did. So you're right about that too lol.

I added the changes you made to the 2nd bar of the 2nd melody line as well.
However, I don't hear the 16th notes at bar 9, I think it's all 8th notes.

I think. You can check again if you want.

Thanks for the help though! :)

I have the tendency to over-complicate things and think too hard. But yeah I'm going to submit this arrangement along with the Xevious arrangement and New Rally-X arrangements!

Also, I updated the Thrillsville file!

Great!
Btw....I'm hearing 16th notes there but it's your arrangement! :)

Haha alright! Thanks though, I submitted it so hopefully it will get accepted!

So after starting this arrangement over a year ago...I finally decided to finish it! This is a great piece! Every time I played this sublevel in Pikmin 2 I always wondered what time signature it was in. So I found out it was in 7/8 and thought that to have a piece in a video game in 7/8 was just awesome! It seems to be inspired by minimalist music with the way the ostinato figure repeats throughout. Hajime Wakai is one of my favorite video game composers, and his style of using ostinatos and polymeters influences the music I compose...

Anyway, the way this piece works is that the music corresponds to every action the player makes, so the melody can very each time someone plays the game. I decided to follow the structure of the youtube link below though. Feedback would be much appreciated!

Can I get some opinions on whether or not this should be a piano duet?

Sounds pretty good as a solo. Duets just aren't as necessary as they seem sometimes.

Yeah, unless you have a good friend to play piano with. Duets are kind fun (if you have a friend of coourse).

In this case a solo would be just fine. The bottom staff is not even used at all, so the reduction would be easier.

Yeah that's true, thanks guys!
The only reason I thought about a duet was because some of the notes overlapped in voices, but I'll change it to solo piano.
Thanks again everyone!

Just noticed that you are working with S.S Anne from Pokémon R/B/Y. But the thing is that it has already been arranged, and well-done, in this project: http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5732.0.  :-\ So that you know.

I know I literally just found out! Haha thanks for the update! But it's okay, that's what I get for being a slacker! :p
I just did "Printer Error" from Pokémon Yellow though and I'm about to upload it.

Apparently Printer Error has been done too! Haha

Even though this sheet is already being submitted by somebody else, I had already arranged it. So here is my arrangement of "Printer Error" from Pokémon Yellow!

By Tangy?

Maybe? I'm not sure, but in the Pokémon Arrangement project I noticed someone had completed it, but there was no name next to the arrangement.

Ok.

This got a little lost in all the posts in the project, but the sheets can be found here (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/usehccuug4b0al5/AABqlMaG2RPqxI-0TTds6Ykia?dl=0).

Ah okay thanks Latios! Then yes it was Tangy that did the arrangement. They look almost the exact same haha. Except I didn't use double sharps. Oh well, it was fun arranging it!

I have updated my arrangement of "Jelly Float Pool" from Pikmin 2 from piano duet to solo piano! So please feel free to check it out and give me some feedback! :)

Yoshi's Story has some great music, and there aren't very many arrangements on the internet, so I decided to arrange one of the songs for world 1! I hope I can get some good feedback on this arrangement!

Besides formatting issues, wrong key signature. It's in C major--the F-sharp notes throughout are not diatonic.

Oh yeah, I should've mentioned that I only have Finale notepad. I do everything in Sibelius then export Music XML, so the formatting is always off.

And okay, I agree with you about the F#s being non diatonic. Sounds like the piece starts off in the Lydian mode.

Also, sorry about the repeated accidentals, that is another side effect of importing XML into finale. Thanks for the feedback though! :D

After procrastinating for over a year and not working on this arrangement, I have finally finished it! Sorry Mariolegofan for taking forever! This is a great piece though, it's really relaxing and fits the level perfectly.

Oh and on a side note, I went ahead and put the key signature for E minor because the piece sounds like its tonic is E, even though it might be in E Phrygian or something.

I had to move around some of the harmony voices in the 2nd half of the piece in order for the right hand to play them.

Also, I am going to add pedal markings to get rid of some of the ties, but I'd like to get some feedback first!

Awesome! I will get to reviewing this when I can :)
I recommend submitting it in the meantime.

Anyway.....here is my revision :)
Tell me what you think:

Sounds good to me!

You should submit it! Do you need anything like a pdf or midi?

I think I'm good! I just submitted it, but if you want to check out the files I posted just to make sure that they're good, then you're more than welcome to! Thanks for the help! :)

They look great!

Awesome!
