[GCN] Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door - "Hooktail Castle" by Jegilmer

[jegilmer]

You know, if you use the free template file we have, you don't have to worry about the formatting. Also, unfortunately, the PDF needs to come from the MUS file, so that they are identical.

Oh okay, I didn't know they had to be the same, but I can fix that! I've using Sibelius to do my PDFs, but I'll start exporting them from Finale Notepad. And I also didn't know there was a template now, so I'll start using that. Thanks though!

I updated the pdf so that it is identical to the mus file now. Here is the original pdf in case it helps somehow.

Tell me if you need a PDF and/or Midi.

Don't feel like taking the time to look over the whole thing, but jegilmer's intro is more accurate (you removed the lower voice, which he had correctly notated.)

[Sebastian]

Hmmmm.....sure? I put down what I heard.....

EDIT: Whoops, you're right. Wow, I better get it together. This is the 2nd 100th time I really fowled up this week.

Pitched percussion, really low, listen for the G -> C transition from measure 2 -> 3.

Is this better?^

[jegilmer]

Sounds pretty good, but there's some parts I'm not sure about because its so low. We need more opinions on this one! Haha.
Thanks for all of the help so far guys!

[Sebastian]

You're right. We do need more opinions
This one is very challenging.

Alright guys, give me a minute, I'll make some comments.

[JesterMusician]

Okay, here's a PDF with annotations where I think you should make changes, and a halfheartedly-formatted Finale file for listening. Green is additions, red are changes.

Oh wait, I didn't see MLF's version. I like his version a lot, but consider using the following elements from my version: the grace notes and tremolos from 21-28, and writing the whole thing 4/4 (we can do away with the nasty 6/4-2/4 switching).

[Sebastian]

Thanks a lot, Jester! I'll get that updated asap.

[FireArrow]

Just remember to keep that lower voice in the intro.

[Sebastian]

Of course.

[jegilmer]

Sounds great guys! It sounds way more accurate now.
