Bespinben's Arrangements! (020: "The Way Home" [帰り]~ PKMN Super Mystery Dungeon)

[Bespinben]

Just a question, where does this play in the Game?

It plays usually when Team Meanies (Gengar and company) trolls you. I think it also plays at the very beginning of the game when Butterfree comes up to you is all "save my baby!"

I know I just posted a new PMD arrangement, but if intend to achieve my goal of finishing the PMD1 OST before I leave, I'm going to have to up my arrangement output. That said, I prepared two new arrangements today. Both are very obscure songs from the game, but I still like them. "The Other Side" is the song that plays when you're dead and your spirit is drifting through the nether after Rayquaza destroys the meteor atop Sky Tower. It's very eerie, and I had VERY hard time deciphering if it had a discernable meter. "Aftermath" is the song that plays when everyone is celebrating that the world is saved, and is proceeded by "Parting".

What day do you leave again, Bespinben?

October 24th.

Btw, do you have any thoughts on my PMD "There's Trouble" arrangement? That's the one I'm questioning most in terms of accidentals right now.

Surveying it, all accidentals look okay but the text "go to measure 8" and "go to measure 12" should be deleted, because you're essentially telling the player to move on to the next measure. It's a bit self-explanatory; someone playing a piece like this should grasp the concept of first and second endings, and if it's that much of a problem, you could always repaste the same measures to avoid confusion.

XD haha those "go to" markings are just hidden playback facilitators - they don't show up when you print the document. I have to write those because of the way Finale processes repeats systems if I don't want the 2nd playthrough after the "D.S. al Fine" to skip the first ending of the 1st and 2nd endings in the playback.

What happened to the PDF and Mid files? I liked using those...

What happened to the PDF and Mid files? I liked using those...

I had reached the character limit in my first post, which had been taken up primarily by long url=file/url links from MUS, MIDI, and PDF attachments, so I had to downsize and use ZIP.

However, I still post new arrangements with MUS, MIDI, and PDF links, but as for the first page in my thread, all use ZIP.

I never understood the MUs. What is the MUS file for?

[Nebbles]

MUS files are for playing in Finale Reader, I believe.

You know how if you save a document in Microsoft Word, it saves it as a .doc or .docx file? Finale is just the same way. An .mus file is simply the original music score document that you make in Finale.

Finale is the music notation software that everyone around here uses to make sheet music, btw.
