Thanks again to Slow for the B2/W2 soundtrack, or else I never would have heard this awesome song! Does anyone know where it actually plays in the game? Is it a musical solely offered after receiving Meloetta in an event?

I'm impressed Spit.  Five sharps... pretty intense.  I have no criticism.  That was excellent.

[spitllama]

Thanks TZP! Those 16th notes were not fun to figure out


Bring on "Battle! Colress!"

It would be a BIT easier with 7 flats, but still it doesn't make a difference and good arrangement all the same.

I'M SURE.  Making me wince just thinking about it.

Disagree, sorry Slow.  Five of anything is easier than seven of anything.

It would be a BIT easier with 7 flats, but still it doesn't make a difference and good arrangement all the same.

Would it be more correct in music theory to have 7 flats? If it's just a preference thing I'll probably leave it, but if it's a matter of music grammar then I'll fix it.

[SlowPokemon]

No it makes no difference whatsoever, haha. After all, Ab minor and G# minor are the same thing in sound.

[SlowPokemon]

Although I must admit, I find it to be very unlikely that there isn't an easier way to notate the piece than all of those sixteenth notes in the bass clef. Seriously, do you think anyone's going to learn that song when it's that complicated?

[spitllama]

Lolno. But it's accurate. There's no alternative voice in the left-hand for much of the piece so it would be empty otherwise. If you mean cutting notes and changing it from 16ths to 8ths, then I guess. Certainly not ideal.

-Watch your layer work-don't let notes overlap with rests or other notes.
-Rewrite those consecutive dotted eighth notes.
-That last measure isn't properly notated. Change the last two notes from an eighth + dotted eighth to a sixteenth + quarter.

[spitllama]

Cool thanks I'll fix those. Idk why I forgot to hide the rests -.- I'm not sure I can remedy the overlapping notes though. I've got an octave in one layer and a single note in between the octave in the other layer. No stem-flipping or layer-switching can fix that as far as I'm concerned.

[Olimar12345]

Well, since you're not writing choral music, which layers the notes are in doesn't matter as much. Just put the lowest voice in the lowest layer.

Even simpler solution: write it all in one layer.

Colress Battle!? Will check this out right now
