This track is actually from Vol. 2 (Mutation) in a collection of 4 games that mostly share the same soundtrack (as you can see here. I've decided to treat each volume as it's own distinct game for purposes of this site because it keeps in line with other similar ongoing game releases such as FFXIV expansions, and also because the series title ".hack" by itself would be easily confused with later games in the franchise.

Not much to say for this one. Tried to keep the arrangement varied in both hands without overcomplicating things too much. Title from here

Here's another small batch of sheets! I've been playing through the original .hack series lately, and while there isn't that much music, what's there is pretty cool. I especially enjoy the various town and field themes. RE5 is another one I've been replaying a lot; the mercenaries mode never seems to get old. This particular track is from the vs mode, however. More RE to come soon, unless I get distracted again (pretty likely).

Both things should be fixed. The "piano" text was a holdover from a different file I had copied and renamed, so I just removed it. Thanks for looking it over!

Here's a short and simple one. Title from here as usual

Quote from: Bloop on December 23, 2023, 06:32:55 AM-m4: Would you say these parallel fourths need separate chord symbols? They're probably not B13sus chords anymore, maybe Esus, E#sus and F#sus?
-m30 and 56: or actually just these chords since this section seems to be taken from the intro haha. Anyway, to keep it a little bit more consistent, maybe you could write the F7sus here as an E#7sus, or write the E# and A# in m4 as Fn and Bb?
Yeah, I just forgot to add symbols there. I wrote those E# chords as F to avoid double sharps, but I didn't notice m4 before, so I changed that to match.

Quote from: Bloop on December 23, 2023, 06:32:55 AM-m31 and 57: You're missing the Em7/B chord symbol
-m48: You're missing the Am9 and Bm9 chord symbols here
-m58: Instead of a mordent, I only hear Fn and E on beat 4 in the R.H., maybe write the Fn as a grace note?
-m60: I hear an Fn before the E in beat 3.25 in the R.H. too, either as grace note or as 32nd note on the beat.
Fixed all these

Thanks for checking!

Quote from: Bloop on November 19, 2023, 10:08:21 AM-m17: The L.H. accompaniment figure is a bit on the harder side to play, because there isn't really an easy way to jump from the single root notes on beat 2 and 3.5 up to the chords, especially while trying to play the flute flourishes in the R.H. at the same time. Maybe writing the L.H. like this makes it a little bit more manageable?

I agree, changed that whole section.

Quote from: Bloop on November 19, 2023, 10:08:21 AM-m22: It's a bit hard to hear what's what in this measure, but I think I hear something like this in the flute:
You cannot view this attachment.
I'm still hearing it the way I have it. On beat 3, the Bb is there but it's being played by the string/bagpipe/idk what you call it instrument. The flute goes back to G. I'm not hearing those first 3 notes on beat 4 either; I hear F-G-A on beat 3.5 but as an echo of beat 2.5.

Quote from: Bloop on November 19, 2023, 10:08:21 AM-m49 and 53-54: The R.H. quarter rests in these measures should be one tick lower, so they're on the same relative height as the half rests in this section.
-m57: It feels a bit weird to have the R.H. F in the second layer tied over from m56 beat 4.5 to beat 1 in this measure, but still have it rearticulated in layer 1. The flute voice is a bit more subtle in this part though, so maybe you could leave out that first layer F?
Fixed both of these

[SW] Super Mario Bros. Wonder - "Lake"
[MID] [MUS] [MUSX] [PDF] [Original]

Every once in awhile I have the urge to arrange something more relevant, and this track has been stuck in my head for awhile... Have no idea what the actual titles for any of these tracks are, but Lake (or Oriental Lake) is what I've seen on YouTube. I uploaded all the versions to Google Drive because they keep getting taken down. Maybe eventually there's an unlockable Sound Test, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on October 14, 2023, 11:31:07 AMHmm, I'm still hearing the D. Pitching up was clear it was a D, but also just comparing the sound of same beat between m42 and m44.
I think the D-Eb interval was confusing me at first, making the D sound more like Eb to me. After slowing down the track I can hear D pretty clearly too. It's been changed now

Quote from: Kricketune54 on October 01, 2023, 07:47:11 PM•m42 LH 4.5 hearing D not Eb
I'm still hearing Eb there. It fits with the chord too, Eb/G.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on October 01, 2023, 07:47:11 PM•m44 LH beat's 4.25-end hearing G-D-G like m21 or m23 not D-G-D. Looks like Bloop mentioned this earlier though if I'm understanding correctly, you meant to fix this? To pattern like the original i.e. like those other measures.
Yup, I just forgot to change it. Nice catch

Quote from: Kricketune54 on September 26, 2023, 08:49:16 AMDid you mean to adjust the ties like this? I think this makes it harder to see. Lmk if this looks different in your Finale tho.
Weird, idk why it's like that, it is on my end too. Should be good now though.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on September 26, 2023, 08:49:16 AM• m56 RH maybe you could flip the 2nd layer 4.5 tie so it's above not below? Looks almost like it's going to the D otherwise in my opinion.
I just adjusted the tie position so it connects to the F instead.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on September 09, 2023, 08:54:57 PMOn subject of tie adjustments, was looking again and the tie for the Bb on lower layer RH beat 2.5 is a bit weird when looking at the PDF. You could make adjustments like so for m1, 3, 5, and 7:

Fixed

Quote from: Kricketune54 on September 09, 2023, 08:54:57 PMm25 RH beat 4 not hearing the two 16th notes (Eb and Db) but another 16th triplet, Db-Eb-Db
I'm hearing that now, although first note in the triplet sounds like F instead of Db.

Up until now, I surprisingly haven't arranged anything from the first Paper Mario... I think mostly because all my favorite tracks are already on site. Huff N. Puff's battle theme isn't there though, and no one had arranged it on the forums either! Fun little piece to work on.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on September 04, 2023, 01:43:03 PMNo I meant LH writing out a half tied to an 8th note and dotted quarter, as opposed to just writing this as a whole note?
My bad, I was looking at m60. I wrote the LH like that so that the fermatas were on the same beat. I'm not entirely sure if this is standard for piano parts, but this is a practice done in larger scores. Personally I just think it makes more sense when written pauses are aligned together in all staves, even when not strictly necessary.

Quote from: Bloop on August 25, 2023, 07:15:37 AMI think two repeated 16ths aren't that much of a problem, it's not crazy quick yet.
Sounds good, I'll keep those as they are in the original then. Changed a few other spots back as well.

Quote from: Bloop on August 25, 2023, 07:15:37 AMAh yeah I meant L.H., but I do still hear the F on beat 4.5. Beat 4.75 is still the G then
I'm still not hearing an F here.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on August 28, 2023, 07:41:16 PM• m15-16 LH 2.0 sounds like Bb not Db, cluster is Ab-Gb-F top to bottom?
The notes on beat 2 and 3.5 are there to mimic the percussion, and I tried to keep the chords relatively consistent (root, 5th, 7th/9th/3rd cluster) to make it easier to play. It's a Gbmaj9 either way.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on August 28, 2023, 07:41:16 PM• m23-24 LH 2.0 and 3.5 is Bb? Same octave
Same as above, but 2.0 and 3.5 is reinforces the bass instead.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on August 28, 2023, 07:41:16 PM• m34 and 38 LH 1.0 not hearing the F on top, sounds like a G
I put F to keep it the same voicing as 2.5, but G sounds better.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on August 28, 2023, 07:41:16 PM• m41 LH very small but ties could look like this

Yep, agreed.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on August 28, 2023, 07:41:16 PM• m42 LH beat 2.5 this chord doesn't sound very representive, perhaps move the Eb to Gb and put below Ab?
I want to keep the 6th and 9th in there, but I do agree it doesn't really sound right without Gb. I added a Gb under the Ab and kept the rest the same.

Quote from: Kricketune54 on August 28, 2023, 07:41:16 PM• m51 RH 3.0 F# grace note on the G, also on beat 3 G in m52
• m56 RH 3.0 G# grace note on An
Added these

Quote from: Kricketune54 on August 28, 2023, 07:41:16 PMYou could do something a little more for m63-64, maybe write out some percussive taps on piano for person to do? Or could just delete the measures and go right back to beginning. It just seems unusual to sit there for two whole measures and then go back to the beginning.
I wouldn't want to delete them since they're part of the loop but yeah some percussion would be good.
