• m6, m14 RH 3.0 I don't hear this Cn
• m36 LH beat 2.75 should this shift to Ab and then all of the rest of the notes be Ab until beat 4.75's Fn?

[Based on "To Rock River" from "Rascal the Raccoon"]

Last post by Kricketune54 - July 25, 2024, 07:39:18 AM

Having given this a bit of a deeper look, I now understand what's been done here. I think this is a neat idea and makes sense why two versions of this track are present, and honestly having listened to the fixed version I have to chuckle at the glitched song. One very minor thing that jumped out to me:

• I think you could move the "Araiguma Rascal" bit to the "Based On" text section. I don't think it makes sense to have the anime name in the song's title, because this is intended to be the main theme for Frogger, even if it is just lifted from the show.
• What are your thoughts on just saying this is from "Rascal the Raccoon"? If just going by the romaji the anglicized title of the anime is Araiguma Rasukaru (あらいぐまラスカル). "Rascal the Raccoon" is to my understanding the western localization of the name... Araiguma Rasukaru just means Raccoon Rascal
• Additionally, "Rock River e" (or "he", depending on who you ask lol), which is spelled out as ロックリバーヘ in Katakana, could just be called "To Rock River".

Anyway, all this is to say I would recommend putting Based on "To Rock River" from "Rascal the Raccoon", and removing the show from the title of this track. 

Edit:
Should the repeat be visible at the end of m26 glitched version?  And one additional thought, do you think that the restored version should have a repeat, given it would've looped in game?

I've transcribed what I'm hearing at m16, I don't hear a Cn at the end of beat 1:

My game will start August 12 at 10:00 PM EST!

Congrats !! Big achievement !!

LLF and NSM players have had a lot of cross over so I can't remember who represented who but I was a wild card for semis and got pulled in on a later phase but I'm sure Mashi made it straight through to semi finals. Not sure if that was NSM or LLF though.

Goodluck Oricorio, bring us a win !!

Yeah, Mashi was LLF (RIP), though they made it to finals interestingly enough. As far as I can tell, our Champs history is fank009 S1, Bubbles S2, we didn't send a rep S3 for whatever reason, Mikey S4 and S6, BDS S5, we died, and then me S11

I think those are already on the notehead side (unless I'm looking in the wrong spot)

(addressed on Discord, I now see it's a Finale version thing)

Double-checked and it is an F#.

Still hearing Gn but I wouldn't be surprised to be wrong, so I'm okay with keeping F#

I like the idea of these Ravel Ties, not sure how to implement them in Finale. Would appreciate some assistance with that.

So from my own experimentation to replicate this at m42, you could use the note mover tool to move the notes to current positions, and also extend the ties to visually connect to the notes they are tying to. Unfortunately there are some restrikes on playback with this method, I thought maybe you could hide individual pitches and ties on beats but that is not possible.

You could do a thing where you create a whole hidden instrument that plays those notes, but it is a whole extra layer of complexity.

Hmm, still seeing Maestro times font for the tempo, the numerical value for the tempo looks a bit big. Did you make the m4 tempo 165 instead of 166 out of personal preference?

• m3 I would remove RH An's in the 2nd layer, it doesn't sound like they are restruck and that would be restriking the held An in the LH

This was referring to beat 4 of layer 2

For m16 this run is a bit jumpy to expect a singular hand to pull off, and I don't think it's currently possible to play that first note on beat 2. I think you could play it swapping back and forth between LH and RH though (starting with LH), and removing the current LH part. You could get some cross stave action goin lol if you go that route. Open to seeing what you had in mind as well

Did you happen to have any thoughts here? I don't think this is a playable figure for the RH to do all those notes, let me know if you need a visual of what I initially described, because otherwise a gliss might be a workable alternative

I hear that part the same as m17, 19, and 20. There is a descending voice in all of those measures, but I hear the ascending arpeggiated part more prominently and would prefer to keep it as written.

Okay, I'm fine with keeping that arpeggiation

Title change looks good on the files, Macho Grubba is now accepted

-m91 beat 1.5: Personally I think the layer 2 G here distracts from the melody and it's pretty quiet in the original, thoughts on taking it out? In our Discord sessions I recall removing a lot of other similar background notes that repeat melody notes.

I moved this down an octave instead

I proposed these 3 options in Discord but I'll reshare them here:

We're still awaiting others' thoughts...

You could do something like this together with a pedal mark, and have it continue into the current first 4 measures too:

I like the intro now, should the pedal be held in 2 measure increments?
in m4, I had put beat 4 of the LH in the RH so the LH had more time jump to the Fn

We usually do use parentheses for optional notes yeah, but it's not something that is defined in formatting guidelines. It was an alternative I thought of myself, so I'd accept both ways ^^ It depends on what you prefer.

I'll defer to whatever you think is best since you know notation better.

Either way: the mordents you currently have are inverted mordents, we actually need the standard ones (so without the vertical line in the middle)

Interestingly Musescore calls the mordent you were looking for a "short trill"  and the inverted mordent I picked a "mordent"

everything else is implemented.


Separate question: can I substitute "Sunny Beach" for "Options Menu" from Wave Race? Even though submissions are closed?
if not, that's fine.
If so, would this arrangement be able to be finished in the project timeframe?
Options Menu MUS
I knowingly chose the melody and block chords over the 16th note runs and the bass pattern (except in measures 9-14) In my opinion the block chords raised on octave changes the entire feeling of the song and carrying that baseline all the way through the song gets boring quickly. the chords at least have some variety.
