Maybe, if QueueDr1zzl3's work is helpful and highly significant, we could credit both arrangers on the sheet music ?

If Nine Lives's sheet was sourced to make the new arrangement, perhaps "edited by" would be the most appropriate. Of course, this would mean consulting Nine Lives and making both arrangers an active part of the submission process.

Actually, the one on site is for the Arcade game.

Hi, just stopping by to say that this is incorrect. The site has erroneously labeled Thomas Wilson's sheets under the arcade original when they are, in fact, based on the NES version's soundtrack (don't know why I never noticed it before, but just look at their copyright info: 1988 instead of 1987). And they're not just in different keys, either, the Jungle track in particular has some bits that didn't make it into the later arrangements. I don't know if this sheet needs to be re-submitted as a replacement, but in the very least, the console tag on the site needs to be updated.

- The first LH A in m. 5 is missing a courtesy natural (to be consistent with other places here)
- Think I'm hearing F# instead of G in the last chord in m. 15?
- It may be best to flip the grace note slur in m. 31 upwards to keep away from the lower note, though this would take some manual adjustment.

- right, fixed
- good catch, corrected
- I agree. Adjusted that slur, as well as a similar one in another measure (approved via Discord DMs)

Thanks Latios, it's all good to go!

Always looking forward to NSM April Fools' announcements. Great work to everyone involved!

Awesome continuing along with that every Kirby game rep I see

That's right! Once this is on-site, every game in the franchise up through Kirby: Triple Deluxe will be represented, leaving only a few more Kirby titles to go.

I don't want to hear anything about the canceled Kirby Family embroidery program for Game Boy Color. It only has one track and we've already covered it.

Remind me again what this track is used for? I forgot this game had any exclusive music at all...

The collection has very little exclusive music, but as for this one, it plays during Magolor Race Level 3 in the New Challenge Stages sub-game.

It's tricky finding information about these track titles because most Google results bring you to the listing for the bonus CD, not the collection's in-game music.

Woo, congrats to our new updaters on their first completed submission cycle! And good job, Vanitas, getting your first sheet on site!

[12 Days of Sheet-Mas 2024]

YouTube upload by yours truly, as I could not find any non-extended versions anywhere on the platform.

I'm pleased with how this arrangement turned out for my 12 Days of Sheet-Mas 2024 event, but far from satisfied. Transcribing the bass was difficult, and so was incorporating everything in-between, so I'd really appreciated the extra help on this one. I want this to be an arrangement I can be proud to have my name on, and at the present moment, it does not meet the NSM standard.

Oh, and if anyone has reason to believe the title should be something else, please speak up.

We're one step closer to completing Mega Man 2. As always, the title should have "stage" at the end of it.

Addressed the feedback with Latios over DMs and updated the files. Thanks, you two.

Just putting this here, I'll be able to address this newest feedback very soon, within a few days. DM me if it's urgent.

Removed the harmonic support notes from m. 13 for playability's sake, and reformatted m. 14 to the best of my ability. How does that look?

Title should be "Heat Man Stage".

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree here, I think in a chromatic passage like this it's important to spell the diatonic notes normally so that the nondiatonic notes are clear to the performer. Using a sharp here obscures that the enclosed An is outside the key signature, and is especially confusing given that G# is enharmonic to a diatonic note (Ab) that you've already used earlier in the measure as part of the same motion (Ab to An). Plus, going from G# to Fn in the next measure creates an awkward augmented second interval. I'd highly advise using flats here for all these reasons.

Ok, I'll change that pitch to a flat for this measure. Files are updated.

Title of the sheet should be "Air Man Stage".

Thank you for all that you've done in checking sheets so far, Kricketune. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that I hope your presence here at NinSheetMusic is a lasting one.

Jas and Radiak, super excited to hear you two are being brought on! We could really use your talents and keen eyes for detail, and I have no doubt you'll be valuable assets here.

I shall leave my approval then~

Thank you, Latios. Just want to leave this reminder here for the second updater:

Title of the sheet should be "Air Man Stage".

To me it still doesn't really convey what your stated intent with the X noteheads is, it just describes a timbral quality of the original track (which the performer may not have even heard).

Hmm, I would sure hope the performer was familiar with the original before seeking out my arrangement.

Hello!... long time no see, submissions board.

Yes, it's been awfully quiet around here since July, hasn't it?

- Ending the ascent on the Bn in m. 26 doesn't... quite feel right to me. It doesn't seem to stay on it as long as writing it would imply. It's hard to say since it's a slide, but how would you feel about writing it as a grace note to a Bb half note? (Either way, I think Cb makes more sense with a root of Ab here.)

Sure, I'll add a grace note and change the B-natural to a B-flat. Good call.

- How about a 2 page layout? This piece is fast and most systems are pretty stretched at 3 measures each.

The squished m. 20 didn't sit well with me at first, but now I see that this orientation is a much more efficient use of space overall.

^^ These two points have been updated. Thank you, Latios.
