Allright, thanks for your quick response. I'll get right to it. Don't get your hopes up too early though, I'm kind of a perfectionnist, and I have to learn to use finale effectively, so this might take a little while. But you sure all are great motivators.

QuoteFirst off let me just say that you are probably the coolest new arranger ever.

Talk about pressure! Now I have to outcool every new arranger that registers just to keep this title. I'll do my best!

Hi!

I just found out about NinSheetMusic and downloaded about 200 songs on my first visit, so I figured I should also do my part. I'd be willing do do the arrangements for Rogueport (it's my favorite track in the game), but I'm not sure about the way to go on about this.

From what I gather, arrangements are made using Finale Notepad and I guess this software can produce the PDF, MUS and MID files that must be uploaded. I also found the formatting guidelines I should follow.

I'd like to know where I should post that I would be working on this track and also if there is some kind of deadline once I commited to arrange a track (I have some time on my hands for the moment, but it may not last).

Also, when making arrangements, is it better to try and reproduce perfectly the notes of the track, or to try to carry the general feel of the track? For instance, the RoguePort theme (around 0:50) has a lot of percussions be the accompaniment is often sustained chords. Should I try to reproduce the percussions' rythm with piano notes or should I stick to the sustained chords?
