Quote from: Latios212 on January 22, 2017, 07:30:38 PMLooking real nice!
Thank you!

Quote from: Latios212 on January 22, 2017, 07:30:38 PM- Rhythm grouping: When in 4/4 be sure to show beat 3. Here that would mean breaking up the half note into an eighth tied to a dotted quarter.
- Ties look better now! Maybe flip the ones in 30-31 still?

I updated the submission with this done. I also added articulations for the left hand.
After trying to play the score I completely removed thirds in the 16th and the triplets.
The measure 49 is back to triplets (RH) on eighth notes (LH).

Quote from: Latios212 on January 22, 2017, 07:30:38 PM- About the eighth rests in beat 2 of m. 1 and 2: yeah, that voice doesn't play there but the percussion still plays on the beat so it sounds a bit odd having a rest there. I'd recommend replacing the rests with a C below.
- m. 29-36: spice up the bass a little bit! You've got two different types of drums here, so perhaps something like using a different octave of the same note to help differentiate between them.

I tried these changes, here's the result: pdf/midi.

m1-2: Somehow I never noticed the percussion on these beats!
Should I add also a bass C on the rest at the beginning of m. 3?

m29-36: I used the top octave since the bottom octave would be A0 (I don't really want to use that note) and as the rhythms in the octaves are different, I wrote the rhythm for the Right Hand. The rhythm replaces the whole notes A.

Quote from: Latios212 on January 22, 2017, 07:30:38 PM- Is there any reason the melody is lowered an octave throughout most of the song? It results in the RH becoming uncomfortably close to the LH in a few places.

Here is a look on what the score should be with the correct octaves: pdf/midi.
On the RH, almost everything is an octave higher than my score except for the synth, brass and marimba parts (m. 1-4, 29-36, 45-54 and all the ascending thirds like in m. 8 & 20 are unchanged). On the LH, only m. 45-48 is an octave higher, but it makes the part unplayable so that's why there is an octava.

When the melody is like in the song, there is two octaves between the RH and the LH.
I really think that it's better to lower the melody, it creates gaps of 1 or 2 octaves between most of the transitions (m. 8, 20, 4-5, 28-29, 37, 40, 44-45) and in my opinion on the piano it sounds better an octave lower.

The notes at m. 8, 9, 20, 21 don't bother me when I'm playing, but I can remove them if necessary.

Quote from: Deku Trombonist on January 20, 2017, 05:21:49 PMWhen you go to edit the submission, just change what it says in the text box for the title and then save.

Ok, it was that simple...
So I did that. The submission is now named "Tough Guy Alert!" as suggested by SlowPokemon.
Thank you.

I updated the submission: I changed the 16ths and the triplets so that it should be playable at BPM = 184.

So how do I change the name of a submission? Should I remove this submission and make a new one?

Quote from: Static on January 19, 2017, 04:08:17 PMAlso, about the key signatures... I would personally put m1-16 all in F major, m17-28 in G major, and the rest in A minor. The 4-measure key changes you put in the middle seem more like transitions from F to G, etc. and there's no key change I can tell happening at all at m45.

I think you are right, the parts at m13-16, 25-28 and 45-48 are transitions. I realized that the A-major scale at m49 can't be in a F-major key... I changed the key signatures like you said. Thank you.

Quote from: ThatHiddenCharacter on January 19, 2017, 04:44:11 PMAlso, I believe that in the RH chord on measure 36 the top note should be a C and not a D. I could be wrong, but I don't hear a D in the chord when listening to the song.

The top note (D) in the chord at m36 is from another instrument in the background that is heard only in m35-36.
I added it (along with the C at m35) because I think that it is important to the melody line.
The bottom note should indeed be a C from the original melody but I modified it to a A to avoid a 2nd (C+D).

I updated the pdf (Link) and the midi (Link) on my Drive.
I'm not finished with this score so I didn't convert the score into Finale format yet: the pdf and the midi are from MuseScore.

I corrected the clefs at m.3 and 49, and the parts at m.29-36 and m.45-49.

I didn't change the thirds for now since I like what they bring to the melody.
But I can't play the 16th notes on my piano and measure 49 is a real pain too so I will remove them on the next update.

My only source for the title is BrawlBRSTMs3... I searched an official album for the names but there isn't many results.
I found a Japanese site and when translated in Google Translate the song was "Beware of tough enemies" or something like that.

Also I just noticed that measures 45-49 are incorrect, I will update this later today.
#6
Does that mean the score should be in F-major instead of C-major, like this: Link?
#7
I changed the keys and added double bars so here is the result: Link

I'm not sure about it though. What about measures 17-24? Can that be considered D-major?
And do you want me to change to A-major at measure 49 for one measure and a half?

#9
I love Majora's Incarnate Battle Theme so I might work on it!
#10
I did a transcription of this song recently! I will try to post it here.
#11
I don't know why, but I still have the double accidental problem when I open your "small notes" file in Finale Notepad 2012.
I wanted to remove the text on top about the alternative, since the notes are small.

So I will upload the normal ones.
#12
Oh, but I made some changes too! Sorry if you didn't noticed.

Especially: the rests at measures 4, 12, 15 and the final measure from the MUS file in my last post are different.
And the measure numbers are still missing in your files.

Anyway thank you for the help!
#13
I changed all the quarters into dotted 8ths, the tempo marking is now in dotted quarters, and I also modified the rests at measures 12 and 15. (MUS File)
#14
So I changed a few details and made a new MUS file, where I added measure numbers and moved the rests. (Link)
Can anyone help me for the tenutos and the page layout again ? :P

Some feedback:

-At measure 87, you should switch to F major key signature.
-Lots of sharps and flats need to be fixed
-Some of the chords can't be played (see measure 109, and are you able to play measure 29?)
