What you first need are triplets to get rid of all those dotted eights, it would be pretty annoying for the piano player to count them out, if you you use triplets the player knows that the eights are to be played equally.

Grunty Industries (Clinker's Cavern) Mid Mus Pdf

Grunty Industries (Underwater)Mid Mus Pdf

Well there they are. The only Grunty Industries themes that havn't been arranged by me. With (Inside) I posted 2 because the Bass is layered. The first is both in one, #2 is just one. The first one is very similar to the one on NSM presently and so I didn't want it to seem like I copied. Apart from that only (Underwater) is the least accuate; couldn't hear over the bubbles. Clinker's Cavern is a wonderous mix of other Grunty Industries themes so I enjoyed that one.

@Spitllama: Nope, MoldyPond has arranged it anyway

Korados: Like This?

There I did it. I still don't quite understand what was the problem, Bespinben. I had nearly no trouble Soloising that(Though 11 is a bit ridiculous)

Bespinben

Really great job! Thanks a bunch  ;)  I felt making a solo would be difficult because I would have to somehow find a way to fit 4 distinct musical parts into 2-hand format, but I see you did a nice job of picking out the essential parts. I have a tough time doing that because I feel like if I leave out a part that was in the original I'm doing some kind of injustice to the song.

This would probably have to go in the non-existent "More other" subsection within the "Other" section :P

Wow... hehe, I really don't know what to say. Really, I'm quite at a loss for words. I guess I'll take a look at it. At least your posting in your thread again, Yay!

Here, have some arrangements. I might also be updating the first page so it holds all my arrangements.

EDIT: Also I forgot to mention that Finale is being a bitch and not joining the quavers when in 12/8 time

Five bucks to the first person to give some 'real' critique on ALL my Thomas the Tank Engine arrangements

Nice song and arrangement btw.

I had to check out the Thomas arrangement's and see if I remembered any. Henry's Sad Theme sounds familiar.
But the two arrangements have some formatting issues. On both of them, text overlaps in the title. The format sizes are incorrect as well. The font isn't correct either. The copyright info on Henry's Sad Theme has the symbol twice instead of once while Duck's Theme only has the copyright symbol and no other data. I would revisit the Formatting Guidelines to fix these issues. Your arrangements would look better then and be possible to submit to the site.
Musically speaking, Henry's Sad Theme is fine. Duck's Theme should be in 6/8. The Gb used throughout the piece should be respelled as F# because of the linear function as well as the harmonic function. That F# spelling clarifies that the line moves towards that G as well as the fact that the F# would tonicize a G (a Gb would not).
I figure I should listen and critique the Credits as well while I'm here (I guess I say "as well" a lot). Same issues with formatting as discussed above. It would be pretty safe to say the opening is in the key of G major. I would swap to 12/8 at measure 9. To get the quavers to bar together, I would be sure to state the key signature the correct way in Finale. You want this to be thought of as 4 beat divided into 3 notes. This is a really easy swap to do from 4/4 to 12/8. In the Time Signature changing box, keep the top note the same, showing you want the same number of beats in a bar, then scroll the bottom note until it aligns with 12/8. It should just be a simple click to the right to enlarge the time signature. Depends on what version you're using I guess.
In measure 43, use quarter rests and dotted quarter rests (crotchet and dotted crotchet, I believe). It's fine because you're in a complex time signature at this point. Redirect the stems of your second layer in bar 47 so they don't overlap (or write the 1st layer as the second and vice versa). Shows the proper voice leading.
I really enjoyed the pieces. Hope my long-winded-ness doesn't discourage you from arranging. Keep it up!

Woot! Thanks for the soloization Clanker  :D 

Oh, and pumpy_heart, it may be important for you to know that Clanker's "Credits" arrangement is a solo reduction of my duet of the same song, so if you want to look at the problems in the arranging more intently, I suggest looking at my duet arrangement. Thanks for specifying that the beginning was in G major too! However, I would have to disagree with changing the key signature to 12/8 at measure 9, since there are eighth notes being played.
