The NinSheetMusic Redesign Suggestion Thread: Site features

[Maelstrom]

Why do I not see one?

It's in the corner across from the news/random stuff text that changes each time you go to a new page.

Oops. yes, a search bar would be nice.

[braix]

Lol yeah it would be convenient.

^(What I did mean)

[Gallahaut]

Not sure what other people think of this but I think it would be really cool if this site allowed multiple arrangements of pieces. I understand how sloppy this feature has the potential to get, but I think it could be effective as well. Like if there were a tab for the pieces with multiple arrangements and a sort of rating feature so that people can check out the highest rated arrangements... or if they feel like the top rated arrangement isn't one they like, they have the option of looking through others as well. Every arranger is different and may have something unique to offer. (Of course, if an arrangement is extremely poor quality it would be great if there were a feature to report that sort of thing as well).

Another thing that would be great is if you can click on the arrangers name to view all of their arrangements (rather than going to the section with the list of all be arrangers)

[Maelstrom]

That has been suggested in the past and turned down. We try to have only the highest caliber of arrangements put onto the site, and actual arrangements are much too hard to consistently check for quality. That said, there are some pretty terrible pieces on the site that won't be removed until replacements are made.

[Gallahaut]

Okay, but I'm still super down for rating the arrangements and reporting bad ones (on the main site).

I also like that idea of linking YT vids to arrangements.

[Aquatunic]

so um... i'm new to the forum, although i've been using the site for a while to find arrangements to play. the idea i have is kind of undeveloped and just something that may need to be thrown around a bit if anything is to be made out of it. i think it may be a good idea to have a section specifically for arrangements for larger ensembles such as flute quartets, woodwind trios, or brass quintets. (etc.) Maybe even some orchestral arrangements would wind up there too. i don't know exactly what you would do, if you would make a new section, or mix it in with the other arrangements or what would go on. I just think it may be interesting to have ninsheetmusic's arrangements expand from just piano, onto bigger ensembles. anyway... that's my two cents that people may or may not care about.

I'm going to post Bespinbens reply, so...

It's his first post. Give him some slack.

Yeah, NSM has had plenty talk on this subject. It just doesn't seem like it's going to happen. There are though a few members who write orchestral and ensembles pieces in their Personal Arrangement threads

Oh, that's a bit lame, but it does make sense, not many people probably write for larger-ish ensembles. Although it would be cool to find an oboe, piano duet for stayin alive from portal or something along those lines.

It just presents a whole lot of logistical issues from a staff perspective. We have enough on our hands trying to keep on top of piano sheets.

There used to be a website with ensemble arrangements but it shut up shop. Personally, I'd love it if it could be resurrected or if someone would like to start up a new one. But as I said, it'd just be too difficult for us to try and cater for everything.

[Maelstrom]

Check Jompa and Maestro's arrangement pages if you want stuff not just for piano.

[JDMEK5]

You could theoretically request an ensemble arrangement of something if you wanted. I'm not sure where exactly to post such a thing but you could. Though it may not yield much often times.
