Ooh, an AA topic! #aceattorney4life

I've beaten all of them (with the exception of DGS, of course). T&T is by far the best, AAI2 comes second. The rest of the list gets a little hazy, though for a fact DD is definitely my least favorite.

A lot of people love AAI2 the most, but I was actually a little disappointed because...

Spoiler

The ending felt pretty "meh." Maybe it was because I was expecting a long, drawn-out battle like in AAI, but it just felt too easy to take the villain down. Besides, the ending still felt rushed, as they didn't return to touch on some things that they had earlier (I especially wish Sebastian came back while you were fighting Simon).

On a music-related note, I love the OST from the games as well--especially PLvsPW, T&T, and AAI. If I find the time to arrange some music, it'll all be from AA.

Thanks! Updated it. Also changed and updated the layout as well.

Hmm, I've been trying to notate it, but the tempo fluctuates so much that I can't make the rhythm accurate. How should I go about arranging it? Just a constant use of tempo expressions? Also, since it seems to be a bit slower than that of the main theme, should I change the tempo temporarily as well?

In that case, how should I notate it?

I'm aware of the time sig after the melody starts--although to me, it sounds like it's in 3/4. Admittedly, it does change to more of a 6/8 style (or a 3/4 twice as fast) later on, but I'm keeping it in 3/4 then as well for the sake of convenience.

I just can't figure out what it is at first.

I'm having trouble figuring out the time signature and tempo of the beginning part, especially since the tempo fluctuates so often and it's pretty much just one rhythm.

I'm very unsure of the extra notes in the right hand at m9-12. What I put there was what I could hear from slowing down the audio, but it's almost certainly not precise. If anyone could clarify or fix that part, then that'd be great.

I believe all the notes are correct, but I may have missed something or made a mistake. I'm also not quite sure about the articulation, and if I should add anything else for technique.

Incidentally, I'm also uncertain about the official title of the theme. BrawlBRSTMs3 has it as "Telling the Truth 2007," but it's also commonly known as "Tell the Truth 2007" or "Confess the Truth 2007."

Just played the fan translation of this game and would really like to see this one arranged.

Now that I think about it more, I think maybe it would be better to keep everything in one consistent time signature even if it does mess up the notation a bit, because the two themes end up playing simultaneously at one point. Thanks for the opinions.

I'll provide my arrangement so far to show this.

As you can see, up to m11 everything is in the first section, arranged how it should be. Afterwards, while my issue is noticeable in the left hand, it's much more prominent in the right. Take a look at measures 15, 16, 19, and 20. The last three notes of each measure are forced to cross between the strong beats in 12/8 when in reality they are actually on the last three beats of a standard 6/8 measure. I hope this explains the problem.

The problem is, using either 12/8 or 6/8 for the entire piece doesn't really cut it. While technically having the same tempo in terms of the notes themselves, the first section in 12/8 is not identical to the second section's 6/8. Should I keep it all in 12/8 with the same tempo, then the second section would be expressing 6/8 measures in 12/8. I can't really explain it that well, but I wouldn't use the same time signature and tempo combination for both of them.

EDIT: @Fierce, if I were to use 6/8, then yes both parts can accommodate 6/8, but one technically has a compound meter twice as fast. Therefore, I'd either have to change the time signature, the tempo, or just have one section just be notated in a different time signature, which makes it awkward.

This one is giving me a bit of trouble. First off, should I notate the beginning in 12/8 or 4/4 swing? And secondly, the tempo is right at 131 BPM in the beginning section for a dotted quarter if notated in 12/8 or a quarter note in 4/4 with swing. However, at 0:21, it turns into 6/8. This poses a problem: if I notate the part after 0:21 in 6/8, then I can't put in the precise tempo because 131 is odd. Any help? I want to keep the tempo consistent yet precise.

I've done nearly all of what's been suggested and also a few other fixes, but I'm still having trouble putting pedal markings in. I'm honestly not very good at knowing where to hold pedal and where not to--is it necessary that I put specific pedal markings in, or can I just suggest pedal at the beginning of the piece?

Also, does anyone hear another note in the bass on the second beat of measure 10?
