Quote from: Lkjhgfdsa_77 on December 18, 2016, 12:28:19 PMthe trumpet in 0:38 - 0:43 seems to be in B flat but then the violin (?) directly after has a B natural?
That's what I'm hearing too. The trumpet fanfare is just playing in the wrong key probably for dramatic effect.
Quote from: Lkjhgfdsa_77 on December 18, 2016, 12:28:19 PM- time signature for first 30 seconds (plus beat placement and BPM), the majority if the piece is in 4/4 (with 3/4 starting at 2:26); I attempted to arrange it in the same 4/4 timing as the rest of the piece, it worked fine but I decide to put a bunch of caesura in to compensate, wondering if there's a better alternative.
If there is I can't think of one. That works fine for me most of the time :) The intro reminds me a lot of the intro of 'Feste Romane' by Respighi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2EPHoMlqnk) and the score for that uses lots of tempo changes and pauses instead of caesuras. If it's a piano arrangement it's probably best not having tempo changes everywhere otherwise it might be daunting to play?

Wii fit plaza.
Planning on submitting this soon, when latios has more time, but I need to know what time sig to put it in?? I believe that it is in 9/8.
I had it as 6/8 for a while but the phrases are always going over the barline/three dotted crotchets long. Am I incorrect?

Just the key. I'm getting that sometimes, G, D, and A are sharp, but not everytime.

After long consideration and thought, I also believe it is A minor with accidentals interspersed here and there.

So do I need to change my accidentals to flats?

Depends. Where are the accidentals in question?

Scattered all throughout the piece. G#, D#, & A#. They are for the most part always sharped, but not always.

Depends on each individual chord.

Also G#, D# and A# in flats would be Ab, Eb and Bb, which seem oddly perfect.

Flats do seem to make more sense.

Honestly though, we're going to have to see the whole sheet first.

But in A minor, you'd be more likely to see a G# (raised seventh).

You really can't just say, it's dependent on context.

That's a portion of the sheet; I'm not at home and the WiFi at the hotel stinks.

My lack of expertise says go with flats. It might be a good idea if you get input from someone who's more experienced, though.
