Care to elaborate a bit? Perhaps post a screenshot?

Can I submit songs from guitar hero? I know it is a game but the songs are copyrighted by people who have nothing to do with games.

[Sebastian]

Nope

No licensed songs are allowed to be submitted.

[Trainer Ave]

OK

I use Musescore and can't purchase Finale at the moment. My music can meet all of the guidelines for submissions except I can't get a .mus file, but I can get a .xml, .mxl and .mscx . I can get a .midi and .pdf, just not the .mus

[mikey]

pretty much anyone would be willing to put it in finale format for you
another thing you could do is get Finale Notepad (which is free) and import the XML into finale yourself

[Olimar12345]

All three files must match, though. Once you have an mus file, you'll need to create a midi and PDF from it instead of what you were using prior.

Can you use clapping, clicking etc. in your arrangements?

[Zeila]

You can as long as you specify what it is. There have been some sheets with percussive notes that have been accepted as well. I don't think you are allowed to put invisible percussion in the midi file though

[Sebastian]

Yes

Thanks!

I looked at the submission menu, or whatever to call it, and found that there are some consoles missing. Notably ps3, ps4, XboxOne, Ps Vita etc. Maybe adding some consoles there would be wise.

[Altissimo]

also sega saturn, and anything atari

Ok so my comment above wasn't that detailed, wrote it down in haste.
Here's a more detailed list of notable consoles that are missing:

Atari:
Atari 2600
Atari 5600
Atari 7600
Atari Jaguar
Atari Lynx

Sony:
Playstation 3

Playstation Vita


Microsoft:
Xbox One


Sega:
Master System
Sega CD
Sega 32X

Other:

you could obviously also add these to the request boards as well, and create suitable abbreviations for them.
