The "Fixing the Sheets" Project

[Shadoninja]

Actually now that i think about it, i dont really know any of these songs. Do you think that'll make a difference?

I include links to the original so that people who are not familiar with the tunes(such as yourself in this case) will have a reference point to judge whether a sheet is accurate or not. So long as you have an objective ear and an eye for error-spotting, it should not make any difference.

Yes, the "Objective Ear" and "Eye of Error-spotting" are real items that you need to find in a dungeon. Don't forget your Monsterbane Sword. : P

Well then you must point me to said dungeon.

[Winter]

What dungeon? He said he had links to the original..

[K-NiGhT]

Lol he took sumthing out :0

[Shadoninja]

I finally got some time to look at the sheets proper.

Ridley

I don't think this is an /8th time piece at all. It sounds more like it should be a fast 4/4
The enharmonics are all over the place and inconsistent.
Quarter note tempo should not be used in 8 time.

Sandy Maridia

Those notes in the bass don't need to be accented at all.
There are a number of unplayable as written passages such as M19, M25-26, and M31.
Perhaps there could be some pedal markings, that would also fix some of the unplayable parts.
Measure 41 – I don't think there should be a key here. It's very chromatic.

Torvus Bog

This really shouldn't be in cut time at all.
In my opinion, there shouldn't be any more than 2 tied whole notes. Generally the piano won't sustain the notes that long, thus it's unnecessary and looks odd.
Measure 5-12 – Does the low G need to be accented?
Measure 28 – That high G might be difficult to read. Perhaps drop that part down an octave and use 15ma?
Measure 49-73, 90-111 – Instead of using a bunch of 8va's, why not make that section use an octave treble clef?
The amount of silence at the end is a bit excessive. If this was being performed for an audience, they would think that the piece is over. I would cut the last three measures.
The sheet needs measure numbers at the start of each system.

Channel Theme

It sounds like the rhythm in measure 1 is wrong.

Battle with Gandraya

There should be octave treble clefs where there are long sections with 8va.
Measure 11-12 – The rhythm should be more like measure 15-16.
Measure 31-40 – are those D notes necessary?
Measure 33 – Why is the Segno in the middle? It should be above the barline.
Measure 45 – Change the last two quarter rests into a half rest.
Measure 45, 50 – Either there should be a lower E in the second 16th note or a removal of the lower F note.
Measure 67-74 – the right hand notes are too high. Put them in an octave clef.

Torvus Bog

-Fixed.
-That's how it is in the original.
-Yes. It sounds like that in the original.
-I'd love to, but printmusic can't make quindicesima altas/bassas.
-Printmusic can't do that either...
-Deleting measures because of inactivity is wrong. To be accurate I say leave them in.
-Fixed.

Here's the latest version I have

[spitllama]

^^ Shouldn't there be a repeat sign at the end instead of "go back to measure 1?"

[The Deku Trombonist]

Now with 15ma and repeat sign.

I couldn't make one that didn't repeat to measure 17.

EDIT: Thanks, TDT!

[Meta-Ridley]

- After rechecking these bars several times, I am confident that the rhythm is correct.
- Yes, in fact they are very necessary. They are emulating the drum-beat, and I think they do it well.
- Fixed.
- Fixed.
- No, I have done this on purpose. You can hardly put any shape into it if you just hammer away the octaves at that speed.    Plus if I took out the bottom F, it would be very awkward to get to the chord. Seriously, try it on your piano.
- Yes, I was a bit unsure about that. If I move it down an octave, it will clash with what the left hand is doing. The only other option is to have the melody lower than the "ostinato", which I think wouldn't be quite as accurate. If you have any suggestions, please tell me.

Here's the two pieces I was assigned, all tidied up and fixed up.

[GC] Metroid Prime 2 - "Hydro Dynamo" - MetroidHunter26 MUS

thanks. I'll take a look at them when I have time.

also, we only have 8 more sheets to look over woo!

[Winter]

Excited to post this update ^.^

[spitllama]

Here's my two pieces, fixed:

[SNES] Super Metroid - "Sandy Maridia" - Brassman388 Zip
[SNES] Super Metroid - "Ridley" - Brassman388 Zip

I don't really think that Ridley should be 4/4... and even if it was the piece gets real screwed up when I change it. I can still alter it but it'll take some time.

[Olimar12345]

Ridley is DEFINITELY NOT in 4/4.
