Hi again! Jamaha here with Friday's Featured Feature Following the First. (Okay, these names are getting dumb. Not that it's going to stop me.)
This week brings some added features to the sheet archive. Currently, the arrangements can only be browsed by franchise. How about some other options? Sure! After this update these categories will be available in addition to browsing by series:
- Browse by console
- Browse by arranger
- Browse duets
- Browse arrangements for two pianos
People have requested the ability to browse the arrangements of an individual arranger. Consider that request fulfilled. Console listing wasn't exactly requested, but a fun little addition anyway. Also giving duets and two-piano arrangements their own categories should make it easier for people who are specifically searching for then.
Our old sheet database doesn't have any data regarding consoles, so the console category might seem rather bare for the time being. The console information has to be added manually so it'll take some time before all our games have found a proper console to call their home.
Unfortunately if you go check the site now, you don't see the changes anywhere. This is because this update is still somewhat work in progress. The actual changes happen tomorrow but I wanted to post about this today, as scheduled. This was mostly because this week was rather busy in regards to work and studies. Sorry about that.
Another update next week!
UPDATE: The changes are now live! The console listing is still incomplete, but it will be updated during the next few days.
UPDATE 2: Console listing is now done.
Cool 8)

oh i'm dumb lol
Excellent update. This will make finding sheets a breeze. I have to wonder though, what about browse by composer? Is it necessary or not really?
AWESOME
This is seriously great :D
I can get ALL the DekuTrombonist arrangments 8)
Yes, more people can now find my one arrangement on the site even easier now.

I think the only real reason is because it isn't listed onsite, only on-sheet.

If you need help organizing or listing all the composers and games, I'm your girl. I'm a pro at mindless things like that that usually take hours
Stuff being done! Yay!
Why are "duet" and "two pianos" in the same section?
What do you mean?
Or browse our special arrangements:
Duets
For two pianos
A duet is for two pianos.
"Duet" refers to 1 piano duet, vs. 2 pianos duet.
Perhaps it would be clearer for our non-forum-goers to specifically say "1 piano duet" and "2 pianos duet."
A duet is for two persons on one piano.
EDIT: D:

All done! Thanks, Bubbles.
Cool updates an stuff.
I noticed that my sheets are marked as written either as SteventheSlayer or Steven Miller, causing me to be listed as two different arrangers.
WOO thanks jamaha and bubbles, this is awesome!

Yeah, there are several duplicates. I'll try to get them fixed at some point.
