It's a cool idea. I like it a lot. I just think with all the other lofty goals of NSM, this would fall at the bottom of the priority list. Keeping regular updates for the past 6 months is already an NSM miracle.
I agree. There are still other goals on nsm we want and that would be put on the bottom..... :/

Checking to see what difficulty they are would just waste the Updaters valuable time when just looking at it would tell you the difficulty.

Just looking at music doesn't always tell you the difficulties, especially for beginners who are just starting to read music, who won't recognize things like octaves, thirds, etc. as difficult right off the bat.
I can see the argument of there being more important things to do. Perhaps we could get a way for the NSM community to actively participate in furthering these goals? That's also a lofty goal in and of itself, so it's somewhat paradoxical in nature to try..

imo not a lot of the sheets here are focused on "for beginners who are just starting to read music"

Here's a perfect one! Bespinben's https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35209091/PMD3DS%20-%20Pok%C3%A9mon%20Paradise%201.pdf

I must agree though that in theory these ideas sound great, but as a community it's hard to get things done on top of projects we already have... :(
If someone who wanders onto NSM is seriously interested in playing our sheets, they'll probably look through many sheets on their own and probably hop on the forums like I did.

All that said, I'm willing to help with whatever can be done.

He's not always right though... Some sheets can be extremely tricky when they look fine to begin with. Sootopolis City, a few months ago, was one example that I struggled with a lot; in the middle of it you have to balance I think two voices that intertwine with each other in weird and freaky ways (I dropped the middle voice; it isn't that important).
The tags system certainly wouldn't hurt.

That's true and it's not a bad idea. I just have to be the douche who points out that it sounds unnecessary.

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

Pianist Da Sootopolis

Well, fair enough then. This is NSM after all  ;D

If you need some beginner sheets, I know of a bunch and tell you them if you want :)



Pianist Da Sootopolis

We could have a thread here that says that.

But then what about those people who want medium difficulty? Or hard stuff?

This. This is the answer. If anyone actually specifically wants easy stuff, let them ask in the forums themselves. It's happened before and is the best way to handle this.

If I had some support I'd categorize some (or all) of the site sheets into levels. The. I could post that in the forums.
I don't need any help but support or anyone interested in this would be great!

Point #1: Let's say that I don't think enough people need difficulty settings to make it worth your while
Point #2:

^This. This this this this this. It's all relevant to one's ability and therefore a system like this is a practical impossibility.
