Submissions / Re: [GB] James Bond 007 - "Mar...

It is the introduction for the Marrakech stage itself, but I feel like it'd be more suited for a short themes collection because this isn't the only music to play in the level. If I had it here, I'd feel obligated to put the other music in too, and that's a bit much.

Okay - I was asking about this with the assumption there was a low likelihood of additional sheets of this game being submitted but if you think a short themes/stage intro collection works better than that's fine.

The non-square wave is drowned out during this section, but it plays the same line it does in the next eight measures and so forth in the bass clef, staccatos and all. I wanted to keep the rhythm of the bass consistent for the entire piece and I wondered if the square wave in the song was supposed to be staccato too and just didn't have the capability to be or it wasn't programmed correctly. This is also why the bass in measures 13-16 and similar are played shorter than the squares in the source.

Yeah - as a matter of consistency and with your explanation, I don't mind you leaving this as is then.

It's not so much reverb as it is the Es being played for longer than the Gs and Ds/Dbs. I wanted to keep the rhythm more in line with the other two notes because I thought holding the E sounded a bit strange and maybe another case of the square not being able to staccato.
Also, while we're on those measures, the longer A in the left hand on count 4 of measures 13, 15, 21 & 23 was a personal touch that I thought would sound better than resting on the "and" of 1 like it does in the source. I'd like to believe that was the intention if the limitations weren't there.

Gotcha - and thanks for explanation of personal touch. I assumed that was longer since sometimes that just makes for easier reading on piano/what you said.

I'm approving "Marrakech Hotel and Casino". Just one minor other thought I wanted to share from recent feedback on another sheet about the tempo marking but not hinging approval on your choice of implementing it or not. See below

For the Swing text you don't have to do this (and I can't remember if we have "official guidance" to the contrary), but I like to recommend keeping it clean like the following screenshot. Can add "Swing!" to your tempo marking, just make sure Times New Roman, 14 pt font.

"Birth" (Super Mario Galaxy) M4: Eighth rest is above the D instead of under the F.

"Underground Theme" (Super Mario Bros.) M5 beat 3: Ab should be A nat.

"Ending" (Metroid) M22 beat 2: E# should be E nat.

Piano Arrangements / ForsakenSounds555's Arrangemen...

Last post by ForsakenSounds555 - May 07, 2025, 05:57:37 PM

Here's the first arrangement I'd like to submit when I'm sure it meets all the formatting criteria, so please let me know any feedback you have, as well as feedback for score accuracy.

For whom it may concern, the tempo is labelled as 67 bpm but from my testing the most accurate tempo would be 66.75, but that's unreasonable so I rounded up.

One final note is I'll be posting the proper MIDI and PDF files, but I don't have access to Finale because of the shutdown so here I have the MuseScore file as well as the MusicXML. I'll continue surfing the forums to figure how to handle this when it comes to actually post a submission. Anyways I hope y'all enjoy!

Do you happen to know if the music in the beginning of the linked recording is the intro music for every stage? Or is it stage specific? Just wondering if that small piece could/should be added to this arrangement

For m1-4 LH, I think you could remove the staccatos. While there is a bit of reverb, it does sound like the notes are longer and not staccatoed.

This is also why the bass in measures 13-16 and similar are played shorter than the squares in the source.

For a little while I went back and forth thinking there were 8th notes after the clusters in m14 and 16, but I think it's just reverb. Assuming you also went back and forth on this as well (I think how you have it is correct)

Will this sheet mean there will have to be a James Bond section? Lol


Was gonna ding the devs on the spelling of Marrakesh (a city in Morocco) but Wikipedia seems to indicate the spelling is sometimes Marrakech.

Hi everyone! I am so sorry about the late response here, I went back to school in the fall and got a job about a month later and things were just so busy that I didn't have any time to work on arranging. But now that the term is finally over I have returned to finish these.

No worries on response time... looks like I've exceeded yours🤦�♂️

Yeah, I've been through everyone in the credits on MobyGames and I didn't see any of them credited for composition/music/sound/anything like that in any of the other games they're credited on, so unfortunately this is one Harvest Moon mystery that remains unsolved!

Maybe the answer will be found many moons from now... many harvest moons...

You know what, I actually think that sounds fine and the better playability is worth the sacrifice, thanks for the suggestion! The only measure where this got a bit confusing was m. 7 where the LH quarter note D on beat 2 went above the RH... I added a D in the RH and put the LH one in parentheses because that seemed like a more readable way to do it, if not perfect. Thoughts?

m7 looks great to me! I played with it myself and didn't like the alternatives compared to what you came up with.


Since it looks like we are good on the above and the other comments, I will accept Mainland Port/Aquarium/Theater

Can't pinpoint which book right now, but that page alone gives crucial hints: the sheet music is for "Diamonds in My Heart", and this theme is from the video game Chocobo Racing.
