What key/time signature is this song in?

[Jompa]

Starts in C-minor (pedal basstone G, but C is the tonal center), mostly dorian-based, and starts being major right before that part that loops forever. After that it's kinda C-major (mixolydian) all the way, just with some funny harmony here and there.

I was wondering which blasted mode that was.
Many thanks. I'll probably just keep the key sig as C minor for now, may mess with it before I submit it though.

Time signature?? Part of me wants to say 5/4 but that doesn't always seem to work.

It sounds like 6/4 at the beginning and might change to 4/4 then later on

[InsigTurtle]

I get 3 measures of 6/4 then one measure of 5/4, then another 3 measures of 6/4 and another measure of 5/4. You could write the rest as 4/4, there's just quite a bit of syncopation.

When in doubt, look at the sheet!

Stormy Sea - [Original ZIP] [Two Piano ZIP]

Somehow I missed that there was a sheet for it. Thanks!

Nearly impossible to tell since there's barely anything going on.

I'm probably gonna do a bunch of the stuff from Fallout. That is, the unfortunately small selection of music they composed (though I still like it a lot) before putting in all the (awesome) old timey jazz.

4/4 F#major

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

Cool, thanks.
With the little B flat octave riff at the beginning (though if I'm notating it in F#, I suppose it'd be A#), I'm assuming that'd be a pick up measure?

[Jompa]

Yep, and it seems it starts about a dotted quarter before the first measure

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

What I was thinking as well. Thanks!

Hey guys! So this one's a little tricky in terms of key signature, especially due to the fact that it is extremely short in nature. Since it doesn't really stay in one key for even a whole measure, I'm just trying to decide which one would make it the prettiest. Because as of right now in C major, there are accidentals all over the place. What key signature should I use?

Ok, now for a few rapid fire questions on time signature.

Firstly, should I go 4/4 or 2/4?

If 4/4: 3 measures at about 120bpm or 6 measures at 240bpm?
If 2/4: 6 measures at about 120bpm or 12 measures at 240bpm?

I'm thinking that somewhere around 120 would be more accurate for tempo, but that will lead to a lot of 16th notes (semiquavers).
(I know this is supposed to be about key/time signature and not tempo, but its kinda related, so I threw it in here.)

I know I'm outrageously over thinking this.....but what is the Time Sig?

^Sounds like 3/4 to me, somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
While I'm here, is this in D major?
