What is this?This is an arrangement project for the game "Undertale" by Toby Fox. The goal of this project is to arrange every song from the game,
conveniently located in this youtube playlist, or on Toby's Bandcamp page (not linked).
Why Undertale?Because of it's recentness, explosion of fans (like me), and it's quality of music.
Well, what kind of arrangements can I submit?Following NinSheetMusic's guidelines, you may only submit piano arrangements. These can be either solo, duet, or two piano arrangements. While I would ask that all sheets should be solo's only, I know that some songs can only be arranged in either duet or two piano form. However, just make sure that it's near impossible to do a solo arrangement first.
But I have a great string quartet arrangement I wanna submit!Sorry. Unless you want to modify it for piano, no other arrangements will be allowed.
Ooh! I wanna do Once Upon a Time!Woah, slow down there. On this first post is a list of the entire soundtrack. Some songs have been already taken by users; this is represented with their name being next to the song with either "Claimed by" or "In Progress by". Those songs have already been taken. However, any song without a name is free to be claimed. Just reply to this thread with the song(s) you want to claim, and I'll put your name right next to them!
Is there a deadline at all for this project?No there is not. However, if you go a ridiculous amount of time (2-3 months or so) without presenting a sheet, and I cannot contact you at all, I may be inclined to give your claim to someone else.
Well, what file types do I need to submit?For this arrangement project, you'll only need a .mus file, which is the proprietary file type for Finale products.
But Yug Guy, I don't have Finale!That's okay,
just download Finale Notepad, Finale's free version. If you really don't like Notepad, just export your arrangement from your favorite music notation software as a .xml file and import it into Notepad. It may not be perfect, and you may have to format it a little, but it should work!
Well, is our arrangement supposed to be formatted a certain way?I'd suggest taking a good look at our Formatting Guidelines page for more informationHow can I show you guys my arrangement?Create a Dropbox account and upload your file(s) (if you've used Google Drive, it's similar to that). Then reply to this thread with a link to your arrangement. With your permission, I'll put it up on the first post for everyone to see and/or critique.
What's with all the colors?Names are color-coded (and now font-coded) to tell arrangers apart from one another.
Ooh! I can submit arrangements to the site! Can I use my Undertale arrangements?Go right ahead! Just be aware that you'll also have to submit a .midi and a .pdf file to the site as well.
Totally random question, but why is UNOFFICIAL in capital letters?It's a half-joke, half-description. Half-joke because why would anyone advertise something as "unofficial," and half-description to differentiate it from the current
official arrangement project (which is currently Animal Crossing: New Leaf). This project is not overseen by the mods, so I want to make that very clear from the start. However, once the current arrangement project ends the next one will be voted on by the members of NinSheetMusic. I hope with enough support, we can eventually get this project to become official!
