I derped. I meant key signature... Sorry...

I need the time sig for this one instead please...

Yes, maybe and yes. B depends on whether he gives credit to me or not.

Not yet... But he said he'll get an account called MathGangster.

My friend has sort of taken over Electrodrome so keep it reserved for him, but take off my name please.

In Canada for sure, we have the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) grading system 1-10. These grading systems are subjective depending on where you are so I think the only valid grading system we could implement is one, as E.Gadd said, that we put together ourselves. That being said, these official grading systems have been tweaked over decades and decades by professionals who get paid to do it. I don't think a grading system is even necessary, really. If someone tries a piece, it's too hard, they give up and move on, etc. Works for me.

Why would we need to implement one ourselves; for everyone outside of the country that we may or may not pick, the system would be just as useful as a self-implemented system. There would be an added advantage to the users from the chosen country that wouldn't take away from the other users.

I have a memory from when I was younger watching some documentary on TV, where they x-ray'd a duck (that may have been acting strangely, I don't remember) and there was basically an alien inside.

...Do you guys know any fictional tv shows that pretend to be documentaries?

There's one Australian movie called "Kenny" that I know of.

Overall the writing does seem a little sharper than in Dream Team, though (the dialogues between the Peaches and among the Koopalings especially), and the pace is certainly much snappier. They seem to have taken the complaints about Dream Team's length and pacing into account, which is fine for most players I guess. Personally I love really long games. At least in Dream Team there was constant freshness, which comes in spurts here but gets bogged down by the Paper Toad missions. Still not crazy about those, even if the puzzles are markedly more clever than past games have been.

I just hate Paper Toad Freeze-out, where 9/10 you can't even complete the mission as the game doesn't put enough Paper Toads for you to win... Aside from that, love it! I like how it's more of a challenge than Dream Team, and even if some other elements were worse than Dream Team, gameplay matters the most IMO.

Not quite sure b/c of the modulations...

My logic was that if we have a system pre-made that works, why not use it?

I can easily assume that there are other examination boards, and we could follow their systems instead. Perhaps Australians would benefit from this more so than others, but it still would be a system of displaying which pieces are easier than others.

Ok, so I know that there have been multiple requests for a difficulty rating system on NSM, and I had the idea of using the AMEB grades as levels to determine difficulty. For those of you who aren't Australian, AMEB, or the Australian Music Examinations Board, is the authority who examines musical ability in an official capacity. You would play three pieces, plus technical work, and the examiner would grade you on your skill. For different grades, you choose pieces out of different graded books. NinSheetMusic could grade its pieces according to the AMEB guidelines. This system works well because it isn't user-determined, meaning that pieces that the best pianists find easy wouldn't be ranked lower than an easier piece found challenging by a junior pianist. The link to AMEB's website will be here.

The positives of using this system are that it works, as proven by AMEB's success,and that  it is not decided by the users, perhaps it could be up to the Updaters to decide which grade the piece most resembles? I do not own samples of all of the grades, but the ones that I do have will be posted below. This system could be largely beneficial to not only the NSM community but also some of the less experienced guests who wish to play some of NSM's gaming pieces. Thank you.

[Out...]

Erm... Just remembered that I can't play now... Out...

Good, thanks! The music had me a bit concerned so I thought it was worth asking.

I completed my 1st True Pacifist run But... now I'm doing a genocide run, and I was grinding in Snowdin...

Just to be safe

When I got to sans' wordsearch the music changed back to normal but the SAVE points still display the red * X Left message... Have I screwed up my run??
