Hello, I'll give my two cents. First off what kinds of sheets do you have? What type of file are they saved as? As I'm sure you've figured out, arrangers submit a MUS, MIDI, and PDF.

A MUS is through Finale, a music-creation program. You can download the latest reader here.

A MIDI is easy to create once the MUS has been created. You simply click "save as," change the file type to MIDI, and save it.

A PDF can be created with a program like this one.

Then if you want to, you can save them all together in a ZIP file or a RAR. To find out more about specific ways of using Finale and other resources, see here.


There are lots of ways to contribute. We currently have a "Fixing the Sheets" Project where you can take existing sheets and improve them.

There's a "Fulfilling the Requests" project in which you take requests that users have asked for and arrange them.

In addition there's an "Arrangement Project" which has set its focus on completing sheets from a specific title. In this case, it's Dragon Quest IX.

And then there's simply submitting, which is what you're probably most interested in. At NSM we have standards sheets must meet listed here. Once they meet this standard, they can be submitted in threads like this one (though submissions are currently closed).



When you're ready to get contributing, you can edit your first post and make this your submissions post! Here you can post your submissions for critiques and suggestions from other members.

I may have just scared you away, but that's the gist of the site. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the "Help!" thread or send a PM.

Oops sorry K-NiGhT. If it makes you feel any better I was telling myself to post that while I was typing. Just spaced it.

And

And I am your mother now!

Yes

Winter's a bad mother, he wouldn't put "Winter loves shadowkirby" in the news!
