Welcome to NSM, Clanker!

That's a good first arrangement you have there. Just some thoughts on it:

• I would've liked to see some relevant articulation in there to give it some more personality. It's a fairly simple piece but it can be given some flair with some dynamic markings, staccato and/or slurs where you think benefits the mood of the piece.
• After listening to the original the tempo seems a little fast. You might want to double check the BPM.
• In order to be accepted to the site your sheet must follow these Formatting Guidelines which gives some continuity to the layout of the sheets.
• In my opinion, that section with the octave doubling could be put in the right hand. Makes sense seeing as it's not doing anything throughout the rest of it. Looks like you're using Notepad 2011, so someone here with a higher version than you might be nice and change the right hand to a bass clef and left hand to a bass 8 so there aren't so many ledger lines. I don't think Notepad is capable of changing the clef.

Again, despite all these comments (which are really just gripes about the way we do things) this a good introductory arrangement and I look forward to seeing more from you in the future!

[Sekter77]

Yep, what WiiMan said is all true! Especially the formatting. Except, you don't have to include the right hand. There are other one-handed arrangements on this site so it's not unprecedented. Ultimately it's up to you as the arranger to decide how the piece should be written out.

Anyway, here are a few of my observations:
The BPM should be at about 75. This website is really nice for figuring out the tempo for a song. You can just tap any key to the beat and it'll calculate the speed.

Also, from the source I compared your arrangement with, the last 3 measures (22-24) were a bit off. Check about 1:05 to 1:20 on this video to see what I mean. (I also pulled the tempo from this version too) If you used a different source for this arrangement though, then you can just ignore this since it wouldn't really apply!

But, criticisms aside, I really enjoyed your arrangement, and more Banjo Kazooie music is always welcome by me! With just a few small tweaks, it'll easily fit right alongside the rest of the sheets on this site. Thanks for joining and please keep arranging!

[WiiMan96]

You don't have to include the right hand. There are other one-handed arrangements on this site so it's not unprecedented.

Most of those particular arrangements were directly ripped from midi files; pieces written for piano, in my opinion, should include both staves for the sake of continuity. In this case, I just think it'd be easier and sound smoother playing those octaves with two hands where possible.

However, as Sekter said:

Ultimately it's up to you as the arranger to decide how the piece should be written out.

...provided they meet the guidelines set and the updaters don't get picky about it.

[Clanker37]

OK I've done some changes. I don't want to use the right hand beause to me it just seems to much trouble than it's worth. I couldn't really hear what was wrong with bars 22-23 (if there's still a problem with them please be more speasefic)but I've changed 24 to suit the song better, but it goes over the bar line and I've no idea how to fix it and if anyone knows I'd really appreciate someone telling me. Here are the modified versions

Mus: http://www.mediafire.com/?l22hd0w8z5bl61w
I still know that I'll have to work on it I just don't know where or how.

P.S Thank you for your constructive critism. I already know I'm going to love arranging for NSM!

[Sekter77]

I went ahead and finished the rest of it as long as that's ok with you anyway. (Here's the mus)

Here's what I changed:
The last measure you needed help on should be in triplets (which are really hard to work with in Finale). That's why it wouldn't fit earlier. And the only other measure that needed fixing was 22 (The rhythm needed changed and I added a couple notes).

Also, I changed the File Information, font for said info, and I added a Tempo Mark. This forum page should explain how to do all that stuff. If you ever need help any other time, don't hesitate to ask! The arrangers around here are very knowledgeable so someone will be able to help you out.

Whenever you're satisfied with your arrangement, just post it in the submission thread. If it's accepted it'll end up on the main site. Thanks for your enthusiasm about being here!

[Clanker37]

Thanks so much! I don't know what I would've done without you! I've tidied things up (Given the right notes Stacato signs and dynamics) and here they are:
Mus http://www.mediafire.com/?5ps799if6qgmelb
Midi http://www.mediafire.com/?h73a3ow0wax87ex

Thanks for everyone for being so nice, yet telling me of my problems! Just a quick question though Is there a better version of Finale or something that I can download and really put more detail in the first arrangement rather than people posting it four times because really I could've done all of that in the first go.

Banjo-Kazooie

Mad Monster Mansion (Graveyard) Mid.Mus

Banjo-Tooie

Cloud Cukooland (Canary Mary Race) Mid Mus


Constructive critism accepted

[Sekter77]

Canary Mary Race does have a fair few problems. The first thing is that you should probably cut the tempo in half and also halve the note durations (i.e. make quarter notes eighth notes, eighth notes should be sixteenth notes, etc.). Also, I think the timing on the left hand is off starying at around Measure 47. There's a fair few wrong notes too. The runs at the beginning for example.

I can't find an original version of the Mad Monster Mansion song for comparison, but from what I remember, there are a few errors. Most notably, the timing seems off here too. Beat 3 of Measure 9 should start the next measure. Those sixteenth notes sound off, but that could just be me remembering incorrectly.
Also, that song sounds a lot like Creepy Castle from Donkey Kong 64.

Oooh! You know how much I like songs from these games. I'll be sure to check it out on the weekend.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky
In the Hands of Fate Mid Mus

OMG I will have to look at this because I love this song. It's the one that plays at spots like after you convince your partner in the future to go after Grovyle...or after Grovyle is pulled into the future again...if I remember correctly.

[fingerz]

Just listened to it from the OST... I'm looking forward to downloading this...

[Clanker37]

OMG When I post songs from Banjo-Kazooie, Tooie, Diamond etc. I get 1 post. But when it's a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Skt that quite literaly 13 measures long I get 3! Gotta love that logic!
