Food/Cooking Update

[Static]

Really great work. Just a few small things from me:
- This could look definitely a little nicer if you reduced the space between LH/RH to add more space between systems, particularly on page 2
- The "tap pen/pencil" marking might make a bit more sense at m. 38 where there are actually notes on the bottom staff. Maybe...
- Maybe a mf dynamic for the percussion? (i.e. not staying at f for the rest of the song)

- Done
- I think I'd like to keep them where they are since that's when the percussion section starts. The directions may also be harder to follow if they're on different systems.
- Done (made the final part forte for some extra contrast also).

Looks awesome. I'd just suggest adjusting the slurs in m. 20 and 28 a bit since they look a bit awkward sloping down from the notehead to the note stem even though the notes are ascending.

That may look weird, I agree, but having the slurs go upward on the 2nd layer also looks weird. I made it so every slur goes from stem to stem and ends right on top of each staccato mark, so everything is consistent between layers.

Thanks for the feedback!


After discussing with Latios, we've decided to add some of Sebastian's sheets to the pile - pretty simple/short ones. Here's my first look at them (links are to the original unedited files). Note that these are all checks for accuracy and playability; I'm leaving the original arrangement decisions intact.

Banjo-Tooie - Honey B's Hive
- http to https
- Moved copyright/url info to be within the margins.
- Other than that, pretty good.

Mario Kart Wii - Maple Treeway
- Added slurs to grace notes that were missing (the sheet was inconsistent in this regard).
- Adjusted beaming in the RH in m4, 8, 11, etc. that were incorrect bc of the way Finale handles grace notes.
- m15-18: Moved the crescendo marking so it's not in the way of anything.
- m21, 25, 33 RH beat 3: Changed rhythm to 16th rest - dotted 8th note and added grace note. Added staccatos to these notes. Added the final note in the line to beat 1 of m22, and used a dashed line for m34.
- I'm not really a fan of staccatos on dotted notes, but I think it helps make the sheet more clear and easy to read in this particular case.
- The chords in the 2nd part of the song (LH) sound kind of odd since the bass note isn't the bottom note most of the time. The chords are correct though.
- Moved the crescendo in m37 so it isn't too close to anything.
- m38-40 RH: Quarter note Eb on beat 3 of m38 should be 2 8th notes, same for beat 3 of m39 (one octave lower). The tie between 39-40 should not be there (notes are rearticulated).
- Made the system spacing more even throughout.
- http to https
- Moved copyright/url info to be within the margins.
Bassline changes:
- m3, 5, 7, 9 LH beat 3.5, 4.5: Bb to Cb, low Bb to Cb.
- m6 LH beat 3.5: Bb moved 1 octave higher.
- m10 LH beat 3.5: Bb to Eb, 2 Bbs on beat 4 to quarter note D.
- m11, 15 LH beat 3.5: Cn to Cb.
- m12, 16 LH beat 4.5: Dn to Db.
- m13, 17 LH beat 3: Removed tie so C rearticulates (m13 only). Moved Bbs on beat 3.5 and 4.5 one octave higher. Made Bb on beat 4 staccato.
- m27 LH  beat 4.5: A to B.


Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door - Cooking With Zess T.
- m10-15: Normally the LH dynamics should be below the staff, but in this case I think it's actually more readable/understandable here since the LH is in kind of a weird range. Treble clef definitely works better in this section, but because of that, the notes are somewhat low in relation to the staff. I think it's fine keeping it like it is (though I did adjust some of the mf markings since they were a bit too close to the notes).
- Adjusted the slur between m17-18 so it's one of those fancy S slurs instead of going through the entire system and getting in the way of clefs/notes/etc.

- Moved copyright/url info to be within the margins.


All the changes have been made and all the files are in the folder.


I have a new sheet as well: Wario Land: Shake It! - "Large Fry Cook-Off" (added to folder)

[Yug_Guy]

- Beats 1.5 and 3.5 in the original sound just like the other notes to me, not sure why you have them notated like that?

Cause it kinda sounds to me like there's an echo note played on those beats.

[McDucky]

Just sounds like a regular ol' note to me too.

I've added two sheets to the dropbox folder.

Looks (and sounds) good, but are you sure about the double sharp on measure 2 beat 2?

Here's another sheet: Pac-Man - Start Music
(Title from here)

[LeviR.star]

Here's another sheet: Pac-Man - Start Music
(Title from here)

I think that you really ought to merge this with the Intermission theme. The songs are short enough for them to fit onto one page.

Also, I'm hearing the "Game Start" theme (as it should be called,) as C major. This applies to most incarnations of the theme, including the original arcade version and early ports on the NES and Game Boy.

[Latios212]

Dreaming of Food - Levi

I think I'm hearing a G instead of a C in the last chord. Other than that, looks great.

I went back and listened, and it turns out there is indeed a G4 in that last chord. Deleted the C and put a G in between that E-flat - B-flat perfect fifth. Updated the file, too.

Cool. Approved!

Choco Island
- Done

Let's Go Down the Wine River
That may look weird, I agree, but having the slurs go upward on the 2nd layer also looks weird. I made it so every slur goes from stem to stem and ends right on top of each staccato mark, so everything is consistent between layers.

Thanks for the feedback!

All sounds and looks good for these two!

Yeah, I agree with McDucky... still hearing just normal melody notes.

- [GB] The Final Fantasy Legend - "Eat the Meat"

Nothing to add here. Well done!

Yeah, I think this would be better as a G natural. A bit odd because of the G# grace notes but I think it's clearer what exactly is happening with Gn.
Also, in m. 3 you have an A#-Bb and Fx-Gn grace notes. I assume you want the chromatic neighboring tones (A and F#) instead of the same note spelled differently.
Other than that, yes, looks great!


Hungry March - Libera
- Measure 1 beat 3 (RH) needs to be adjusted visually a bit
- I'm not 100% sure, but I've heard the F-G on beats 3.5-4 of m. 6 as part of the melody (top layer).
- I think the chords in the last couple measures need to be inverted up once (similar to the voicing at the beginning)

I agree with both of you and fixed the neighboring tones

-Yep, should be fixed now thanks to your assistance.
-Hmm.  This was also how I originally heard it, but I'm reasonably confident that it isn't actually.  The C is much louder than the preceding F and G and the timbre of the E sounds really similar to the F and G to me.  It also makes that little F G E F into a mini The Edge of Dawn quotation, which seems about right for this OST.
-Sure, done.

Thanks for checking!

I suppose that puts me in the minority then. Updated with quarter notes.

I think you misunderstood - I'm saying they're regular eighth notes.

Alright, I'm okay with that. Approved!
