Easy Versions Idea

[Brawler4Ever]

Fair point.

[Bespinben]

Simplifying a sheet is way easier than arranging one.

I disagree. As I stated earlier:

The practice is really just as much of an art as full-scale arranging.

The issue with that paradigm of simplification vs. mine is that if you treat them as being a simple task, then you get all sorts of problems:

If that's the only valid reason:
"random joes who don't know how to arrange"

You need to credit whoever simplified it.

These issues are non-existent if you treat Easy Versions as completely new arrangements with just as much effort rather than derivative works.

...and I think we're all at the point where it seems clear we all want this -- we just need to agree on HOW it should come to pass.

To expand on Bespinben's point: Almost all of the Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite tracks I've arranged are 2-voice, so they're both as simple as possible and faithful to the original because there's nothing more to implement. But I didn't take any shortcuts when it came to putting those together, and I think it's wrong to say that simpler = easier and lazier by definition.

I'd like to quick raise a finger and say I'm not exactly a proponent of easy versions.  With that said, it won't physically hurt me if we start doing it, just know that I doubt I'm good enough to be able to do an arrangement+simplified version.  Plus it'd be too much work.

I don't think the easy version is mandatory, is it?

[MaestroUGC]

From what I've read, not in the slightest.

^Mostly the bold text and assertive tone of her post. d: didn't want shit-flinging to start.

Remember people, no one is entitled to shit just because you cry for it. I have a serious post coming, so hang tight.

i don't shit-fling i just get passionate about stuff d:

[MaestroUGC]

For the record, there was nothing remotely assertive about Alti's post in question. Impassioned, yes, but hardly anything worth telling her to "simmer down" over.

Love,
