I've got an idea. Since a lot of the sheets are missing and the site is kind of messed up right now, why don't we use this as a chance to clean up some of the cruddy sheets? We had been talking about doing this for like....months! We rearrange some of the cruddy sheets, fix some of the broken ones, and make .mus's of all the .sibs! We have plenty of sheets that need to be redone. Like "Kokiri Forest" for example (Sorry, no offense G-Han!) I've already redone a few of them (Working on Kokiri Forest actually...) so I'll get them in as soon as JaMaHa has got the site ready for new stuff. I'm mean, this is a great chance to do it! I'll list the sheets below that I've already rearranged or are in progress right now. (I'll try to get links to the mus's up too.)
Animal Crossing
Only Me (Finished)
Town (Pending)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Kokiri Forest (Pending/In Progress)
Market Theme (Pending)
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Dreamland (In Progress)
Pokemon: Red, Blue, Yellow
Pokemon Battle (Sib to Mus conv. in progress)
Totally the best idea I've heard in a while besides Hugo's.
I totally agree...plus it would make the site more professional
The 'light arrows' song from Legend of Zelda oot was also a sib. but now its gone..
so how do you want to rearrange that?
That is a good idea.
However, I have seen messy sheets replace some fairly decent sheets in the past. I'm not going to mention which ones... but because of this, I believe that there should be some kind of voting process where users (or moderators) vote on whether the "cleaned-up version" should replace the other user's work.
That way, the original arranger won't be as offended when he looks on the site and realizes that his sheets have been replaced.
There doesn't need to be a vote, just my keen trained eye. ;)
We decided to just get rid of all the SIBs. It's for the good of things. :P
@Concerto: XD Does that mean you get to use your lazer vision to?
@Dekudude: FINALLY!!!!! I guess Grim's not really here to complain about it anymore....I never liked sibs anyways.
good. also can you make sure stuff isn't zipped if it doesn't have to be? because a lot of Frank's (RIP) old stuff is zipped and it's a smaller file than... oh wait. that's the point of zipping. yeah, well can you unzip his stuff unless it's way to big?
So we lost quite a bit of songs, oh well! I hate dthe sibs anyways.
But, you need to get rid of all the links to those sheets, recount the sheets, and inform the public with an update :D

MWAHAHA! FINALLY! MY WISH IS MY COMMAND!
Is it just me, or should the arrangement of Song of Time from Ocarina of Time have the first quarter note as a pickup note rather than having all of those rests at the beginning and the end?
Good start of an idea. I HATE .sibs!!!! However, some songs you mentioned don't need fixing. I quite liked Dreamland from SSBM.
EDIT: If we do do this, please fix SMB 2: Overworld. It's the 2nd hardest song to read (next to SMW: Dead, Which I would also like fixed)
I'll redo Brinstar from Metroid. This song is weird... Could be written in 3/4 and look a little better. If not 3/4, 12/8. Pretty hard to read stuff.
I'll do a complete revamp of the House in Link's Awakening. I think I should get my name for this one...guys....look at the arrangement. Not good. One of the_grimace's flops.
I'll redo all of the Alttp Scorch's to Finale. That should be fun :)
EDIT: If anyone has any of the scorch files, will you pm them to me? I only have Victory, and the site has already taken them off.
If I see more, I'll claim them here.
YES!!! I have two to my name, but after the server crash...
1. They aren't credited to me
2. They are the old versions that I made better versions of!
If you need links to the songs I made, pm me

wrong site-reading fantasie-impromptu, oh and Hungarian rhapsody No.2
Tallon Overworld from Metroid Prime needs some 8va markings, it's pretty hard to read as it is.
I can redo Magmoor Caverns and some other stuff that I submited (Phendrana Drifts looks awful!) but I can't Right know cause I'm in California for Vacation so around tuesday(assuming I'm not playing brawl) I will fix some of the Octave stuff in Magmoor Caverns and the messyness in Phendrana Drifts.
As a note I will also Redo some Metroid Songs in the Section such as the Ridley boss fight in the Super Metroid section. As it's very hard to go that fast in 12/8 or whatever it is and I will do the theme in Super Metroid to see if I can add to that. and I'll post some more to see if I'll attempt to fix some others. I may or will fix the Super Smash Bros Brawl Main Theme that I arranged because some parts were mainly guessed on and know that the Midi is out (and it is VERY Accurate from what I hear) I will fix it post haste....when I come back from California.
Akiro already re-did Magmoor Caverns. I looked over it and had to do his text for him.
Redid =/= redid well. We'd need to see it to know that we're safe waiting ::)
I would post it, but I don't know if Akiro wants to do it. So, for now, you'll have to wait.
I've seen it, and I think its well done.
Fourside from Earthbound doesn't work
Hey I just joined and I have a nice arangement of Super Mario Bros. 2...I read some earlier posts that mentioned that one needed some cleaning up...so I have one...anyone want to point out to me on how I would go about posting it?
I hope you know, The-Real-Link,the song "Town" from Animal Crossing is actually called "8 PM" and the version on the site is incomplete. Just letting you know. But I'm sure you already knew that...

How to Submit? (http://www.ninsheetmusic.net/forum/index.php?topic=375.0)
Make sure you post that topic in the "Submission" forum. Oh, and welcome to NSM!
Thank you, but frankly I still don't have a clue of what I'm doing...I just need another nudge in the right direction and I can get started on here.

Ak! I posted something! Yay! Thank you!
I wish I could post my orchestrations too...but I'm taking that this place is just for piano.
Oh you can, just post them under the "Music" forum. You dont have to follow a specific format or anything there. Use mediafire to upload them, and post them!
Ak! Even more Cool!
I agree. Site Admins: DO WORK! >:(
While you're at it, could someone re-arrange Fountain of Dreams? There's no key signature, each sharp and flat is marked out. It's hard to read with all of the four-finger chords.

HARD TO FREAKIN PLAY WITH THE CHORDS THAT STRETCH LIKE A 10TH AT THE LEAST. NOT TO FUN TO PLAY WHEN YOU TEAR HOLES IN YOUR HANDS.
Why wasn't everything backed up somewhere?

:) Haha.
Because somebody was stupid and decided that backups should only be done every few months. Or somebody forgot. Or something. I forgot.

And that's why we don't have backups. :P

Good point. I just do the octave stretch, but then, I have long fingers too.
I just listened to Bomb-omb Battle Field and some areas aren't very good (no offense DoKoCo). (I might be the only one who would notice this because I just played the game today)... Some of the left hand doesn't match the right (might just be that i used allegro 2007...), and the song just cuts off at the end... A lot of the 16th notes don't agree with the melody and there are some gaps during the song, but it catches up with the rest of the song after the gap. Listen to that, then listen to this http://youtube.com/watch?v=cT108mpd4aE&feature=related. It sounds ok but some areas need some cleaning. If someone would be willing to fix it, I would be very appreciative!!!
i'm actually fixing it as we speak... although i'm still working on the beginning.. it's on my page if u wanna have a look... ( u know.. under submissions..)
I was thumbing through some of the sheets on my computer and noticed that Fatalize (ToS) could be in A major. It has been fixed and is now in my submission topic.
