Last post by Latios212 - Today at 08:40:25 AMQuote from: RichardRowe on Today at 04:34:13 AMEveryone says that it's Nintendo's official name for the song, but I've yet to see a place where they actually officially named the song.See the official English release here: https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_64_Original_Soundtrack
Track titles on officially released soundtracks can be odd and inconsistent sometimes. We generally stick with titles from OSTs if possible, with some consideration for using an unofficial title if it's overwhelmingly generally used. In this case, despite the level order, for whatever reason it may be, "Dire, Dire Docks" is both the official and widely used title.

Submissions / Re: [NDS] Ace Attorney Investi...
Last post by Kricketune54 - Today at 07:33:08 AMTook a somewhat quick look through, did not focus on melody and only a little on bassline
- Discussed with another updater briefly, and I think this one would work a bit better in 12/8 instead of 6/4. Would update time signature as well.
- m2 LH hearing the 4th dotted quarter note as an 8th note followed by a quarter note length An (just the lower octave)
- m37 LH current 6.0 is an An
- LH m12 need to flip stuff, fix rests in RH
- page numbers and titles missing after page 1
- some overlapping stuff in LH m33, 37-38
- word "Piano" is small, tempo marking looks a little big

Last post by RichardRowe - Today at 04:34:13 AMEveryone says that it's Nintendo's official name for the song, but I've yet to see a place where they actually officially named the song.
Infact, it would make much more sense for the song to be named Jolly Roger Bay.
It's the first place you hear the song, and it fits there better than it does in Dire Dire Docks.
I would imagine if SM64 was made today, Dire Dire Docks would have a completely different sounding song, sort of reminiscent of an Airship theme, to reflect it's Military type vibes with the Submarine and all.
Also I've never understood the argument that "Maybe Dire Dire Docks was made before Jolly Roger Bay?" because that doesn't mean the song was made at the exact same time as the level. It's entirely possible that they could've made the song after they added Jolly Roger Bay. And even still, that wouldn't stop them from giving it the official name of Jolly Roger Bay when they actually gave it an official name, because by that time, the game would've been released, and with that would be Jolly Roger Bay.

Last post by Kricketune54 - May 12, 2025, 08:27:06 AMHi AspKing, welcome to NinSheetMusic. I don't have a whole lot to say today as I don't have a piano in front of me, but wanted to drop some comments. Reason I state that is this looks like a very complicated sheet and I feel the need to test the feasibility of some of the chords. However, I am a Ghost Updater, so my replies to you are likely going to be a bit spaced out on the calendar. This is one of my favorite songs from Sword and Shield though, so I wanted to get things going for you at least.
Usually with submissions we look to have some sort of linked audio for reference - dropping YouTube link.
The singular composition credit goes to Go Ichinose, sourced from here.
Each submission requires an approval from one updater, before it can be accepted by a second for inclusion in an update. Hope this all helps

- This is a very dense sheet on the current number of pages and not easy to look at - I think you could play around with the measure systems a bit so page 2 is maybe 5 systems instead of 6, and then the same for page 3. Making this a four page sheet would make this a lot easier to read (5-5-5-2). Page 1 the space could also be adjusted, I'd move the measure systems up a bit higher, and then widen the space between them.
- There's some missing notebeaming as well, to me it looks like you might not be aware that an entire beat should always be beamed together: ex. an 8th note on the first part of the beat, followed by a 16th rest, followed by a 16th note should have a beam that goes over the 16th rest to connect the two notes.
- m22 LH beat 1.0 and 1.75, m30-32 beat 1.0 and 1.75 and for beat 2 this comment applies to, but it would be helpful if you could go through your sheet just to check again
- This is a good guide on beaming https://www.musicnotes.com/blog/note-beaming-and-grouping-in-music-theory/?msockid=07d994907287647c12f8817a73636584

Last post by Kricketune54 - May 12, 2025, 07:44:13 AMSorry for a bit of a wait on this sheet, but seeing you are still logging onto the forums I am using my ghostly powers to metastasize in your submission thread...
Although the site is moving away from Finale, we still are trying to maintain visual consistency with sheets that were made in the program and new sheets that are done in MuseScore. Hope these guides will be of assistance.

Reason I'm linking is that the formatting is a bit off - measure systems are a bit wide, some titles/credits need to be bolded as well - feel free to look at recent sheets that have gone on site for comparison to how your submission should appear. Game should also be written as Pokémon Snap. Though these details are a bit less important as far as this sheet's current arranged state.

- From 0:38 to about 0:56 (when this song loops) is not in the sheet- so the arrangement feels a incomplete at the moment.
- Did you ever try arranging this such that the top staff (RH part) was up an octave from the original with an ottava, and keeping the current bottom staff/LH part in the song's original octave? I think that would make the arrangement sound a bit closer to the original piece.
- Note on the tempo: when a song is in 12/8, the tempo is typically written to the dotted quarter note value as opposed to quarter note value. I counted ♩. = 102

Feedback / Re: Is Musescore worth it for ...
Last post by Dekkadeci - May 09, 2025, 12:38:35 PMAvailability of obscure scores in Musescore is highly variable. Sheet music of some works is really hard to find anywhere on the Internet, for starters. Musescore is also filled with fan transcriptions, especially of new or upcoming works (e.g. of music from upcoming video games). Sadly, for many works, fan transcriptions are the only transcriptions you are going to get (think a significantly less filtered version of NinSheetMusic). You are already lucky if you get a VGM score on Musescore that you suspect was copied off of another score that was published on paper.
Feel free to go with the paid subscription if you're thinking of downloading lots of scores, especially the significantly better-looking and probably better-transcribed "Official Scores". If you're mainly thinking of dragging a tablet around with Musescore on it, don't bother with a paid subscription.

Feedback / Is Musescore worth it for shee...
Last post by KaileyWaelchi - May 09, 2025, 12:51:28 AMI've been looking for a source for obscure scores that can't really be found in books (video game music, movie soundtracks especially). Musescore has these things, but they claim that I can only get them after paying for a subscription.
I'm totally onboard with getting a subscription if its worth it. But there are so many bait and switches out there. So I'm wondering, can anyone who has /had a muse score membership comment? If not, are there are sheet music services you like for buying / downloading sheet music?
