[Wii] The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - "Island In The Sky" by NocturneOfShadow

[mikey]

I will have a closer look and try to tell you my thoughts.
On the first look, there is some stuff that I found:

The pedaling is too short. You have to keep it till the end of the measures and not release it with the last note playing, but after.
The style of the whole thing is not NSM conform:

• no nsm link under copyright

DONE

• no gametitle under song title

DONE

• no numeric tempo mark

CANNOT DO

• this redundant and ugly "Pno." before each line

CANNOT DO

• missing measure numbers at the start of each line

DONE
[/list]
Just look at the guidelines... I probably missed some stuff... Also the list of composers looks really ugly (The "Composed by" is missing, too). Use some newlines... CANNOT DO

There is probably way more, but you might want to fix this first, while I have a look at the rest. I like the song, though! Now I am looking forward to playing Skyward Sword even more

edit 1:

Okay, keep in mind, that I have no idea what I am actually doing, so I would also like to have some feedback to my feedback, since I want to know if the things I suggest are actually right.

• The stuff I said before
• You might want to add some more expression text (optional but still good style, I think)

BLOWING MY MIND HERE BUT I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO

• Measure 5 to 6 if you listen closely, you can hear the part of the left hand fading. There should be some decrescendo for the left hand.

EVEN IF I COULD HEAR IT I COULDN'T ISOLATE IT TO THE LEFT HAND

• Measure 5 staccato? The first A does not really sound short to me... Same in measure 7 and at the other repetitions of that theme.

DONE

• Measure 11 should be 3 16th and a rest instead of the two 16th and two tied 8th, I think. I hear a pause there.

DONE

• It feels like you just were too lazy to go on notating the pedaling. I don't know why you stopped it. You should atleast give some hint to the pianist then, that he should pedal freely or sth., since it is still in the original.

I'D LIKE TO PUT IN A SIMILE BUT IDK HOW

• Measure 12 accent on the F#? I do not hear that... Maybe my hearing is just bad. Same for B in next measure.

OKAY FINE

• Also going to forte in measure 13 seems a bit overkill... I don't feel like it gets that much louder. Maybe mf.

OKAY FINE

• 2nd measure line 5(really... add the numbers at the first measure of each line... the counting is killing me...) the B should have a trill, I think.

DONE
[/list]

edit 2:

• Crescendo from measure 5-7 and decrescendo from 11-12? I do not hear that... And the way Finale does it, it does not sound right, so I would remove it.

DONE, FINALE PLAYBACK IS DUMB

• Measure 12 just sounds wrong to me... I think it should be B E F# A G# E

YOU'RE RIGHT ON THE E F# BUT IT'S DEFINITELY AN F AT THE END I'M 100% SURE
[/list]

I think someone else should do this, since I am not good at this stuff

3 things:
I'm not really one for expression text

what do you mean diminuendo only in the left hand

how do I simile without just typing "simile" (like actually have it in the piece)

And that's it
changes will be updated

Concerto's helping me get a better Finale and if he does then I'll be able to do the fixes that I can't right now ;o

Something tells me your problem is not the Finale version...

[mikey]

Helping? He's gonna buy you one?

Uh... yeah...
<.<

"buy"

Something tells me your problem is not the Finale version...

considering I've used both notepad 2012 and 2014, I can certainly say with the upgraded version I can perform many fixes.

How kind of him!

[Bespinben]

For joy, or for disappoint. That is the question.

I'll have to make sure it's the former then.

[mikey]

both
cause it's someone who I know will give quality criticism

[mikey]

Is there a way to open a 2012 file in 2011?

When pigs fly.
I so wish though. That'd be so nice.
