Won't be needing this thread anymore~

Because you claimed like ten songs?

I haven't listened closely, but:
- No one has to arrange the second version. The list is there, but we're not going for 100% completion.
- If they're that similar you can probably incorporate it into your sheet (a few different ways this can happen).

oh

perhaps

I meant to say video game sheet music

Though the midi was referring to his midi request in the site news board

I blame my fingers being cold and missing the right keys

You're also on the wrong website. This is piano sheet music, mot midis from memes.

Anyway, have you tried searching YouTube? Both midi files and sheet music are very easily findable.

I just need to find somebody who's bothered to do stuff for me :S

If you'd like, I could help you with formatting and whatnot after you've converted to Finale.

...!

...eh? What's with the measure repeat signs? Those should just be normal full rests. if I'm looking at an old version of the file, just disregard that.

Also, this track was composed by Mahito Yokota, as Kondo only composed the Egg Planet and Comet Observatory themes for SMG. And the title... why not just "Drip Drop Galaxy"? A track appearing in multiple places doesn't warrant a name change; go by the OST instead. In this case the English title is simply Drip Drop Galaxy which is more recognizable anyway.

Pomeg/Kelpsy/Grepa/Hondew/Qualot/Tamato Berries?

I'll just join with my crap team

Haha this will be fun to talk about. Having reviewed all of the sheets from Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal I can address all these issues. Though I only have time to speak to a few of them right now, here goes: (The rest will come later like maybe tomorrow or something.)

As for entire channels being missing (i.e. having only 2 out of 3 melodic channels):

• Pokémon Red Version & Pokémon Blue Version: Pewter City (a.k.a. Viridian City)
• Pokémon Red Version & Pokémon Blue Version: Rocket Hideout
• Pokémon Gold Version & Pokémon Silver Version: New Bark Town
• Pokémon Gold Version & Pokémon Silver Version: Goldenrod City: The third hand is pretty hard to play though, but it's what makes the song fun

~Pewter City: As Tobbeh showed above the left hand gets kind of messy if we go the transcription route. A lot of clashes and near misses between the two layers in that range - you get a bunch of small (major/minor second) intervals which don't really sound good. In the original the two LH voices are played using different soundfonts and volumes so there isn't any noticeable conflicting between the voices. But when playing for piano it's a considerable increase in difficulty without much reward. So the more prominent voice was chosen for this one.
~Rocket Hideout: [Intro reference] This part is a little ridiculous lol. Constant 16th note dyads is something I'm pretty sure no one wants to do. Sounds a bit emptier without that other layer, but... way more approachable. If you were going for m. 29-32, that's again because of constantly conflicting/overlapping voices.
~New Bark Town: [Intro reference] Here, the middle layer isn't quite near the melody or the bass part - juggling it between hands to include it in the sheet would result in large intervals in the RH and more complicated rhythms in the LH. Ultimately I decided to go with a route that would make it easier to play, and specifically better articulate the rhythms. You'll see the bassline I created for this sheet is a combination of the bassline and the middle layer. Hopefully you'll agree this is a lot easier to play without much of a loss when listening. (Most of the middle voice is just an octave away from other existing notes anyway.)
~Goldenrod City: [Full transcription] Yeah, measures 9-16 are definitely playable but... just speculating, most people wouldn't (be able to) put in the time and effort to pull it off as well as this guy did. We don't cater to a specific type of pianist around here, but keeping things relatively accessible is always looked upon favorably. Another thing I would like to point out is that this is not my sheet, and the arranger chose to omit the voice as such. You'll encounter some sheets that might seem easier than they should be and some sheets that might seem harder than they should be, and that is because leeway is granted for the arranger's own style and preferences. Different people weigh accessibility and inclusion of voices in different ways, and I highly respect arrangers` decisions to include or exclude certain voices. This isn't to say "you're wrong", far from it, I'm just explaining why these sheets are as they are!

Oh yeah feel free to add my on Skype lol I'm typing a lot here and these are only a few that you mentioned

Hang on a sec - different reply.

Your transcriptions sound terrific and I'm not noticing any inaccuracies when listening (comparing them to my memory lol). But while you can do a bunch of things with transcriptions, our site is tailored specifically for piano arrangements. In that regard, some of the source material has been altered or omitted for the sake of playability. Keep in mind the limitations of a solo pianist - hands can only stretch so far and move so fast. That's why you'll see many sheets differ from the exact sound you find in the game - they're written for the pianist, making them playable while maintaining as much of the notes and "feel" of the original as possible.

That said, mistakes do happen, so if you notice anything you think is an error, like an incorrect rhythm or pitch, please do let us know! We strive for accuracy at the same time as keeping sheets playable.

And I think your site is absolutely fantastic. There's a ton of cool stuff on there! (As a math/CS guy I really like it...)
