TheZeldaPianist275's Arrangements (Super Mario Sunshine 7/5/2015)

[TheZeldaPianist275]

Thanks Zunawe!  Can I ask one more favor, actually two. 1) Can you put in the tempo as quarter=135, Grandioso 2) Can you give a starting dynamic of mp?  Thanks again, you're the best!

[Zunawe]

Fixed. I shrunk it a little to make it less crowded with the heading. It should be fine. If you have Notepad you should be able to put in dynamics. Just saying.

[TheZeldaPianist275]

*facepalm* Duh.  sorry about that.

Critiques, anyone else?

EDIT: Zunawe, did you put the tempo marking in?

I was listening to your arrangements for fun and noticed a couple things. Not meant to be comprehensive-- just what was obvious to me at the time.

The Fairy Queen
On measures 6, 10 and the like, do you hear the 4 notes on the second and third beat (of the original)? I think those would really add to the arrangement if you included them.

Beedle's Shop
Needs more staccato in the melody.

Isle of Songs
Measure 20-- flip the stems so they don't overlap (use selection tool and push the L key)
Measure 28-- might wanna check accuracy on that right hand

Thanks Spit.  Is it possible to save a file as a PDF in NotePad?

I may have accidentally saved the wrong version over the right one. Sorry. I'll fix it in a little while.

Thanks Zunawe and Shado!

I feel like you should do something like put this in the original post of everybody new's arrangement thread.

zelda marathon you did.

[TheZeldaPianist275]

It's been a long time!  Git over here Blueflower!  I present you all with

Unfounded Revenge/Smashing Song of Praise
[MUS] [MIDI] [PDF]

from Super Smash Bros. Brawl!  Critiques would be greatly appreciated, everyone always seems to avoid my page.  Also, the xml transfer was once again limited by NotePad, so if anyone wants to make my day and tidy it up, that'd be great!  Thanks!

[Jompa]

That is very good!

My critique is that you should tidy up the notation from 27 to 51 - and by that I mean, you should assign a "swing"-expression (and do the necessary magic to make everything go as you want it regarding the playback), and then remove all the ugly "-3-"-things at every couple of notes (of course, that doesn't affect triplets..).
^I would definitely do it for you if I could!!!!
But I can't open this file in my PrintMusic 2009, and NotePad 2012 doesn't have that "necessary magic" to make the playback go flawlessly, so I can't
^I'll also add that nothing you have done is wrong, not at all - this is totally correct. BUT, there is another way to do it that isn't absolutely crap to read. And that is by simply stating "swing", and that's enough.

And then there is that about how one measure suddenly takes up an entire system. I know that's not your fault, and that it is the xml transfer...
I don't even know why I'm pointing this out, you obviously already know

[TheZeldaPianist275]

Oh gosh, that one measure is so annoying.

And I would have done the swing.  I'm not sure I can with NotePad.  Anyone know for sure?  Lemme fiddle around with it a little....

[Dudeman]

Oh gosh, that one measure is so annoying.

I found that if you do some trial-and-error in MuseScore with the "line break" symbol-thing in the "breaks and spacer" toolbar, you can fix most measure size problems. You just have to find the right spot to make a new line.

You do realize it's the MUS file, right?  Not the MSCZ.
