kinda getting tired or bumping my own post

Sorry for the wait! Nice to see that you were able to resubmit and get some things edited.

Were you able to get these edited?

Finally somebody replies lol

In the order they were listed:

• Spacing will be something that I wont bother changing in this score because it will be changed by the person doing the Finale version anyways. I have cleaned everything in the score that I can see and as such believe it to be finalized
• Measure 5 has been fixed
• Extra part has been added into an osia stave which, as far as I know, isn't against the rules
• Unnecessary text removed in measure 16
• I have added a roll into measure 34 for the large interval
• Measure 44 fixed
• Measure 47 osia stave added fro extra part
• N/A
• Fixed
• Fixed

...In short, everything I could fix has been done. Now for the finalization and prettifying I will have to rely on someone with Finale to fix (ie. spacing etc.)

Other than that, if there is anything else that needs to fixed and/or changed, I believe it to be finished.

Bumping for the third time cause its been a week

Casually bumping for the second time 'cause it has been another 2 days

Casual bump since it's been 2 days

Ack! Sorry for the long wait for the edits for this song, school has been really busy lately 

Anyways, here is my revised score for the Sims 3 Main Theme!
As per usual for my scores, the MUS file doesn't match the score due t o my lack of Finale software so I will get the Finale part made after ALL edits have been finalized for the score. Thank you for your understanding in this regard, I know that it is troublesome.

Thank you for your patience! Please let me know if there anymore edits I need to make:)

THINGS I CHANGED IN THE SCORE

• Removed difficult/impossible hand streches
• Added osia staves for optional parts or extra parts
• Minor edits to chord voicing
• Small notes have been edited to fit better in part

Woo this is a nice looking sheet! Also, I love the chord chart; I'm all for that.

Though I completely agree with your plan and reasoning for using a PDF for your final copy, unfortunately with the way things roll around here, you will need an MUS version that also matches the PDF. Though to be honest, you could perhaps find individuals to help you accomplish this, considering how fast the update process goes and, consequently, how fast you'll possibly be able to get sheets on the site. That all being said, the comments below are based off the PDF file you have:

- Maybe just some spacing cleaning. A little more space between RH and LH staves of the Piano II part in the first system, and a little less space between the first and second systems on the first page for a start. The last page could also really benefit from spacing. I mean, all the pages in general though really.
- Measure 5, Piano II, RH, Beat 1: You're gonna want to put in some indication of what you want here. As I'm sure you're already aware, this is impossible to play as you have written, and while I don't think you meant to play these notes literally, I'm left confused as to what you do want.
- Measure 12, Piano II, RH: With the exception of the extraordinarily huge-handed people that exist in rare amount, your low G voice is not going to be able to be held. This would ordinarily be covered with use of the pedal, but since everything else going on is staccato, that kinda kills that option. Think of how you'd like to clear this up.
- Measure 16, Piano I: I don't think the smaller sized notes or text saying "small notes = countermelody" is necessary. Any pianist competent enough to play this in the first place should deduce this with only the use of the second voice (which you've done). I'm not necessarily saying you need to get rid of it/revert it (is extra info really a problem?.), but bear it in mind for future reference.
- Measure 34, Piano I, RH, Beat 1: With this interval being more than an octave, be prepared for it to be rolled. I bring this up because I could see that effect really ruining the feel you're trying to get. Give it a try though if you can; I haven't tested it myself. Maybe it does work after all.
- Measure 44, Piano II, RH, Beat 1: See my second point.
- Measure 47, Piano I, RH: See my third point, though with no staccato going on here, maybe pedal is an option here which would fix your problem. If you do want pedal to fill in the gaps, you don't have to mark it in accordingly; it'll help keep people from using pedal too much and making it obvious.
- Measure 44-46, Piano I, RH: Excellent use of smaller sized notes. Well done.
- Measure 56 and 60, Piano II, RH: See my third point.
- Measure 62, Piano II, RH, Beat 1: See my second point.

That's all for now; I also have not run a note check yet but it looks nicely arranged. I'll have a listen when I have more time on my hands.

In regards to the pdf and mus file situation, I am fully aware of the need for a mus file to mach however as I stated in my original post I wanted to wait until much of the editing was finished before a final copy was made to same the time of others who would be helping me in that aspect. Hopefully that is understandable.

Haha yes, I agree with all of the spacing issues and the limitation of the human playing capabilities when it comes to the chords I have written. To be entirely honest, unlike my other sheets this one was arranged to be more of a condensed full score I suppose. I attempted to maintain the note placements as heard in the original. I will most certainly have to re-arrange many of the chords and such to fit the playing capabilities of an actual human (perhaps osia staves for extended parts?)

Thank you for your feedback!

Just going to casually bump this up 

Here is a video score for one of my favourite choral pieces  "The Seal Lullaby" by Eric Whitacre. I spent a long time arranging it for strings and I think it turned out very well if y'all are interested in listening.

YES SIMS 3!! Thank you for doing this haha

Really nice arrangement in general, looks good for two people to play together. Chord symbols aren't really used on site so I don't know whether they should stay? Quite handy though tbh

Ahaha thank you! I know many of the sheets don't have chord symbols on them, but my previously accepted sheet of "Deep Castle" from MALBIS had chord symbols on it so I don't think it's a problem. Plus is makes is way easier for a guitarist, or bassist to play along with the piano anyways.

This is because I do my work in Sibelius and rather than bother multiple people to make a proper mus file for me for every edit I think it would just be easier if i make my edits on the sib files and when it is perfect then I will get a final copy made. I hope that works for the time being!

That being said, this is one of my favourite game themes in history and was super fun to make. I hope you guys enjoy, and I look forward to any advice!

Thank you so much to DekuTrombonist for your help in converting the files into .MUS files for me. I have finished tidying up and fixing many of the errors in the score. Please let me know if there are anymore issues in the score or suggestions

Hello, I need help converting my two Sibelius files into Finale files. The scores are practically finished but I need them to be in .mus in order to get accepted on to the site. Thank you in advance! you can find my Skype or Discord account on my profile page when the file are completed.

The two songs are:
[NDS] Deep Castle (Two Pianos) & [NDS] File Select (Two Pianos)

My apologies for my absence, I had other matters to attend to. If this is the case where I can't move forward with anymore suggestions to fix my music and I just need an appropriate file attachment, then comes the time where I need someone to convert my stuff from Sibelius to Finale. My conversions don't seem to appease anyone so I must ask for assistance in this regard. (This post will be copied to my other submissions as well)
