They have measure numbers too, but if they have the full version it would be quicker to edit that than to copy it over to the template and fill out the game info again. (I haven't seen your sheet yet, though).

Are you using Finale (the full version) or Finale Notepad?

Finale Notepad 2012

[Olimar12345]

Yep, Finale Notepad can't do those things, sadly. I can edit your file later today though if nobody beats me to it. In the future though, it would save you time to use the template that Ave mentioned. It can be found on this thread:

Ok, thanks!

Here are your sheets, reformatted:

Just a few minor things I caught: If you do more Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle arrangements, the game title does not have a colon in it. Also make sure that the site url is whole: http://www.ninsheetmusic.org/ (don't leave out the www.). You were also missing page numbers and mini titles on your extra pages, which is another thing you don't have to worry about when using the template file.

Thanks! I'll remember those things for the future.

Hello, I need help converting my two Sibelius files into Finale files. The scores are practically finished but I need them to be in .mus in order to get accepted on to the site. Thank you in advance! you can find my Skype or Discord account on my profile page when the file are completed.

The two songs are:
[NDS] Deep Castle (Two Pianos) & [NDS] File Select (Two Pianos)

[The Deku Trombonist]

Can we have links to the files?

I need my Ashley's song submission to switch to non-swinged bpm in the 3/4 section and then switched back after that section

[Olimar12345]

post a link next time pls.

Also, "BPM" stands for "Beats Per Minute" which refers to tempo, not swing.

[BrainyLucario]

I don't know why I worded it like that...

Hello all! I'm on Notepad 2012, and I need some help with clefs and time signatures, here's the sheet music:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gdqg97rk4hb3zji/where_we_used_to_be.mus?dl=0

Left hand needs to be treble clef for the following sets of measures:

1-5
28-30
32-36
48-49

Time Signature stuff (the measures all have the correct number of beats in them, but the markers showing time signature changes are gone):

Measure 3 goes to 3/4
Measures 48-49 are in 4/4,
and then 50 is back in 3/4 until the end.

Thank you in advance to whoever is able to help me!

[Maelstrom]

update: I'm working on this now, but I'm editing the formatting heavily. Expect a large post soonish.

[eashwar]

Okay, thank you. And I wanted to seriously apologize again for the formatting issues; I understand that I'm just causing a huge pain to everyone because of my mistakes. I use MuseScore, and didn't realize how heavily NinSheet Music utilized Finale until I went to submission. I also was so much in a rush that I decided not to try harder at making my Finale file not completely awful, and I wasn't even able to resolve that properly since unfortunately, Finale Notepad just doesn't have enough features to resolve most of the porting issues I have. So, sorry again for so much trouble - I definitely will use Finale Notepad from start to finish for any other transcriptions I plan on submitting here.

[Maelstrom]

Alright, here it is:
I made a few other quick changes while I was at it, but purely from a notation standpoint, not a musical one. We'll deal with that later.
-deleted extra slur in measure 4's left hand (m4 LH)
-swapped layers in m7 RH to fix the stemming issue
-Used cross staff notation for m3 LH rather than changing the staff. This keeps it cleaner and then you don't have to deal with the 3 ledger line F.
-Moved fermatas above the notes, where they should go.
-Swapped layers and did some stuff to m12-15's LH to make it better.
-re-entered slur for m22 Rh because it was doing something weird. Also did this for a few other places throughout the song
-respaced most of the systems since you can't do that with notepad
-moved the A on beat 3 of m15's LH to the 1st layer. Not sure why it was in the 2nd.
This is where I took a break and passed it to latios212 and he fixed up the measure and system distribution and I stopped keeping track of things excessively.
Other stuff I fixed:
Slurs not being tied to the last tied note
wonky slurs
added space in a few systems to make the dynamics fit.
added hidden pedal marks so it plays back and an expression to use it

edit:
It's fine. It's your first sheet, and everyone messes up something. Formatting parts aside, this is a pretty great sheet and I'd love to see more stuff submitted by you in the future.
