Gosh, I haven't posted a new arrangement in over a month! I hope my newest arrangement of "Temporal Tower" from PMD2 makes up for that

Somehow I don't think a person with only two hands can play that

[Bespinben]

I make extensive usage of specific pedaling techniques in this arrangement to ensure it can be played with two hands (look for "sost." and "Leo" markings under the staves).

[Nebbles]

....damn.

[Bespinben]

^_^ Thanks

I think I might arrange Temporal Spire next, since it would only make sense given that I just did Temporal Tower :3

[pumpy_heart]

Nice piece. Definitely playable by the right person.
Some general observations: Beat division should be clear and phrase modulations should be notated with the correct key signature.
Dotted note rhythms shouldn't be notated as two (or more) dotted notes next to each other in a duple meter (such as this one). And sometimes, you did the rhythm 8th, 16th, 8th, 16th, 8th, which disguises one of the beats. Easy fix for both. Same for the key. It clearly modulates from A minor to E minor a few times. Both of these help the player's performance of the piece.
You have a clear notation of hand position and where each hand goes. Good job with that, and this piece overall.

EDIT: Sorry, my mistake. The piece never uses an F natural, so this leads me to believe it's in A dorian, based on G major, with the key signature containing F#.

[Bespinben]

Thanks for your tips as always pumpy! I appreciate it 

EDIT: Sorry, my mistake. The piece never uses an F natural, so this leads me to believe it's in A dorian, based on G major, with the key signature containing F#.

I must point out that there are F naturals in the piece at measure 7 and 9. These are the only times it appears though, so I don't know if that would have any bearing on the key signature.

EDIT: Of course, if it did, then the only difference would be whether saying it's in E minor or G major, so I guess it doesn't really matter, since it would still show up the same on the sheet.

[pumpy_heart]

Yup. And you could start the piece in A minor, then change to E minor (A dorian) when the tune starts.

Geez! And your telling me to rework my sheets into arrangements!

[Bespinben]

Geez! And your telling me to rework my sheets into arrangements!

That I did. I provided VERY specific playing instructions in my arrangement, notating my hand-crossing and pedaling with utmost clarity. I also hand-tested almost every chord in the arrangement to make sure it didn't feel awkward or require intervals larger than a 10th. Just because something looks hard doesn't necessarily mean it's unplayable.

I just came from the shadows to say... Bravo. I wish I could play that right now. Good luck with "Temporal Spire"!

O F F T O P I CAlso, in my little free time I've been doing a "Gargoyle's Quest Project", with every song from Gargoyle's Quest: Ghost'n'Goblins. I liked it a lot! If you don't know which title to buy, I'd recommend you GQ!. I just finished GQ on Virtual Console, and I realized that the soundtrack is pretty good! Did you know that Yoko Shimomura was involved in this game's music? It surprised me! It's a very different style to the Mario and Luigi series! 
This is very offtopic, but I just have time to see how the forums are going, quickly vote in some polls (Morpha FTW!) and then back to work. Let's see... maybe next week I'll start again with arranging. Exams finish this Friday!
Well...

Nothing else.

Under usual circumstances, I would've posted this in my "project .mus conversion" thread in the Help section. However, due to the fact that I pretty much completely overhauled my old .sib arrangement of "Primal Dialga" while making the .mus (rewrote the entire piece in common time [original was in cut time], used new clef changes, utilized cross-staff tool, and employed a third staff for the right hand of the first piano near the end of the piece), I thought it expedient to post this in my submissions thread. That, and it would give those who hadn't looked at my arrangement back in July a chance to see it.

Don't forget to put the heartgold/soulsilver national park on your to-do list! I want that song so bad :O!

[Bespinben]

You silly. Look at my to-do list again. It's on there. Oh, and you can get a sneak-peek of my progress on National Park so far on the Request thread for it.
