Welcome to NoSheetMusic! The world's quietest video game sheet music resource for pianists

Hey all! We are pleased to announce a rebranding of the site! Instead of NinSheetMusic, we are switching to NoSheetMusic. As time has gone on, Zeta, and by extension us, have realized the focus has shifted from a certain developer's music, to many developer's music, to eventually none at all in the pursuit that music, in the end, is best as blissful silence.

In celebration of this change we are doing a huge update! Please check out the new sheets below, we added quite a few that are a bit challenging but think it is the best direction for the site. Stay tuned for more updates including a new banner, themeing, logo, and peaceful silence.

Wow, first few months on the job have flown by, can't believe I finally get to see the updating console room!

*creeeeak*

...boy, it's dusty in here. And what a mess! Half-finished sheet music, overturned monkey cages, broken seashells... whoever was last in here must have left in a hurry.

Oh, and the window's broken too, lovely.  Wait, is that... a meteorite embedded in the floor? It's still smoldering... There's something written on it:


...Could this be the cause of all this devastation?

Oh, looks like the updating console is flashing. "Update Queued: 16 Sheets Ready"? Hmm, I wonder what this giant red button labeled "Let's Update!" does...

Hello friends, and a late welcome to 2025!

The first thing I want to announce is that Kricketune54 will be moving to the Ghost Updater role. Please give Kricketune many thanks for all the help reviewing sheets over the past couple of years!

But that's not all - we will also be bringing two longtime contributors onto the staff as new updaters! cashwarrior1 (also known as jascas) and Radiak488417 (not sure where the other 488416 of them went) are joining our updating team to help review sheets. It's been a bit of a slow season on the sheet review front due to our existing staff being pretty busy and needing to focus time on MuseScore support, but I feel much better about things with these two helping out. We will continue get to your submissions as soon as we possibly can!

That's all for today; please give them your congratulations and thanks for spending their time helping the site out - and look forward to more sheets as always in 2025!

Blub Blub! First, we at the updating team would like to acknowledge this update is both coming a bit late, and is not entirely complete.

There have been some challenges in our availability to keep the submissions process going for this project update, which we also have been prioritizing over regular submissions. In addition to that though, we have also been hard at work on ensuring a smooth transition to MuseScore submissions. This has taken a lot of staff time, but will help our ability to keep things going after Finale support is ended (see previous site news post for reference).

To address the growing time gap since NinSheetMusic last added new sheets though, we decided the best course was to split the Aquatic Project in half. That way, NinSheetMusic updates resume for the first time since the summer, and it gives us a chance to make things a bit more digestible given the aforementioned availability challenges.

So, to those of you who still have sheets on the Aquatic Update project board, regardless of approval, rest assured your sheets will be considered for the Aquatic Update Part 2.

Anyway, I was planning to recommend sunscreen before diving into this watery update, but given the current month, it might not be a good time for a dive...

Hi everyone!

A couple of weeks ago, the company MakeMusic announced that the music notation program Finale is discontinued effective immediately. Any Finale users are being encouraged to migrate to other music notation programs. As you might know, all of the 5000+ sheets we host on our site are engraved using Finale. So what does this mean for NinSheetMusic?

Well, let's first start with what's not changing. All of the files we offer you today aren't going anywhere. Nothing is happening to the PDF and MIDI file formats. So for any users using the site to download sheet music or MIDI files, this has no impact at all. And for those interested in notation files or those who have arrangements on the site, discontinuation of the program doesn't affect the mountain of Finale files we've accumulated over the years. The Finale files will stay and still be usable by those who still have Finale running on their computers. We also will continue to accept submissions made using Finale for the foreseeable future.

What will change, then? As Finale slowly fades into obscurity, we are planning to do what some of our users have been requesting for a long time - start accepting sheet music made using MuseScore. It would be great to allow users to submit sheets made by any notation program of their choice, but that is not practical at the moment. As a first step, we will focus on adding support for sheets made using MuseScore. This is a natural direction to go since MuseScore is free, making it easier for newer arrangers to get started contributing, and open source, putting the fate of the program more in the hands of users. We are lucky to have many community members already intimately familiar with MuseScore to assist. We also plan on adding support for the MusicXML file type on the main site for users to be able to more easily use their program of choice. If this all goes well, we will continue to investigate adding support for more programs like Dorico, which MakeMusic is recommending as Finale's replacement.

All that said, it will take some time to put these changes in effect, so nothing is changing about the submissions process right now. There is a considerable amount of work to be done, including adding support for additional file types on the website and developing guidelines and tools to ensure that sheets created using MuseScore are visually consistent with the rest of our library. So for now, any arrangers submitting to the site should continue with Finale, following the submission process that has been in place for many years. But it may be helpful to start becoming familiar with writing sheets in MuseScore as it's become clear that using Finale is unsustainable long-term. For those MuseScore users who have been discouraged by the submissions process in the past, keep an eye out for when we will start allowing MuseScore submissions! We will keep you posted about developments as they come.

I think that's all for now; thanks for making it this far! Feel free to ask any questions you may have!
