It probably sounds different from Brian's because when I did the first half, I didn't have his on me so I started from scratch. I also didn't have a copy of Nothing Set in Stone on me so I did it from memory ... for that reason, the area that I call the "solo" ended up differently than it was recorded. I don't know whether to leave the new improv in, or go back and notate it exactly the way it was originally recorded.

I'm also not sure if I should go back and add in tempo marks. It may sound smoother just playing it through with all the same tempo, even though that's not how I recorded it.

I think we're probably going to end up with a couple different versions =) Which is totally ok! Music is something that is very personal, and if you ask me, each pianist that attempts it should add their own little touches to it and make it their own. If you want trills and tempo marks - go for it! It'll sound great. If someone likes the new solo and wants to play it with a steady tempo, go for it, that'll sound great too. If someone wants to change the chord to eminor, and the f chord to a c chord, go for it ... it'll sound pretty good.

Well said, and great job! I really appreciate all of the work that went in to making this. I look forward to seeing this finished!

Hey HugoMeister - I started on the "Ballad of the Windfish" one - no ETA at this time though

I put most of the basics of the Windfish arrangement in this file: http://www.warehouse17.com/79-gameover.mus

There's really not much more to it than that - just lots of repeats of those phrases.

I actually... dont see why this is seen as ''amazing'' personally I find Crystal Stars [GCN] from Paper Mario 2 much more amazing...
But its a good song, dont see why people are tryin so hard to arrange this but... Id be happy if Crystal Stars would be done...
Why on earth isnt there a Midi for Crystal Stars ´~`

But good job there, got pretty far, keep it up

I can almost play the entire right hand to NSIS. I feel so proud of myself.  ;D

Oh yeah, btw, when is the final version going to be put up?  ::)
Even when everyone else has gone,
I will punch the punching bag until a game comes on. XD

Sweet! I almost got to play it for arecital this Thursday...but I couldn't get it down on time.  :'(
Oh well. I'm still trying to learn it (I put Ice's and Pearcinator's arrangements together). It's a cool song.

Well, apparently the version you have is abbreviated because I found a longer one.

My version is in .mus format.
Also, here's the piece that I was going to play for my Recital.
The recital piece was slightly edited (I took out the long middle part)
my recital went well, by the way.

Note: Near the end, you'll meet a measure that is cut in half. I can't change Time Sigs halfway through the song. (I think it's supposed to be in 3/4 time, and then back to normal somewhere.  :-\

My arrangement actually. Pearcinator had mine before nsm went down. Wow you guys are still at it? I thought it'd be done by now especially with Ice here. Is it done?
