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

[Xaoz]

lol.....formatting for sure. But I really thing NocturneOfShadow did a great job on this song and is an excellent arranger!

Arranging one whole night with Bespinben will change your thoughts on what a great job actually is. It will make you stare at a single note or triplet for hours while trying to find the best way to put a fermata until you finally decide to do that part completely different. Also you will learn how to put as much as expression text in a single measure as possible. You will also learn that only girls arrange in portrait format and that real men can only express their art in landscape format.
I have trouble finding the right words to describe this experience, so I will use a quote of someone, that is way more eloquent than me:

I can tell I have at the very least a decent ear because of the listening exercises I do with my piano teacher, but there's always someone better than me   As far as this arrangement goes there's a few measures I'm a little iffy on because of the sheer amount of semitones in this piece; it was hard to pick which one it should be sometimes haha.  And there are a few notes that I omitted because it felt like they took away from the melody more than adding to it if you get what I mean by that lol
But I don't even notice formatting o.O

[mikey]

Speaking of the formatting template I have the Template but I can't edit certain parts of text.  Anyone know why?

Lack of Wisdow.
I think even with Notepad you should be able to edit every text from the template. You can also delete measures with it.

I SHOULD BUT I CAN'T

[Maelstrom]

Reinstall it. It is clearly faulty, as you insist you have no control.

You tried the text tool, right?

Should I offer workshops?

oh no way I've been using the note tool to edit text this entire time...
it just forces me to select either ALL the text or none of it.  I can't edit parts of it.

and as for deleting those last measures it wouldn't even let me HIGHLIGHT them
And guys how should I mark the tempo of it?

[The Deku Trombonist]

Have you tried going into ScoreManager and editing the file info? I'm guessing the text box is using inserted text directly from there.

[mikey]

bleh I don't even know if the files in the OP are the fixed versions but give em a look see anyway and tell me what's wrong

[mikey]

cries internally

[The Deku Trombonist]

There are number of pieces of valid feedback which you haven't implemented yet. I'll consider looking at it after you've done that.

[mikey]

Well off of the top of my head I can't fix the Pno., the pedaling is attached to notes so there's no way for me to put it to the measure, the list of composers is treated as one item so I can't put it over multiple lines, I can't put in a quarter note symbol because it appears as a square, and that's all I can think of, so is there anything that I can do to improve it?

[The Deku Trombonist]

Yep. The stuff in Xaoz's post pertaining to the actual music.

[mikey]

oh shoot he edited it
cool that should keep me busy for a bit
