What is the "Fixing the Sheets Project"?
The "Replacing the Sheets" Project is an organized effort brought to you by TheMarioPianist and Myself to bring each and every sheet of music on NinSheetMusic up to the current standard. Some of the target sheets were submitted before any quality standard was required. As a result, some of those sheets are abhorring.

In no way does this project forbid replacement submissions from other games/franchises. This is simply a united, organized effort to deal with the substandard sheets one game/category at a time.
We will be focusing on Super Mario 64.

What you need to know:

-If you begin work on a sheet, post here letting me know so I can edit the target post (the next one) with the updated information. This keeps multiple people from working on the same song at the same time.
-Can't arrange? No problem; critique other sheets that either have not been looked at yet, or have just been revised. The Updaters will NOT be looking over these unless they decide otherwise.
-There is no limit to how many sheets one may work on simultaneously but I would recommend that every sheet you take you must complete or don't take it at all.
-If you fix a sheet, your name will appear on the song list (on the Target Post) as the sheet modifier; however your name will not be listed as the arranger on the main site. Nor can you change the original arranger's name to your own on the sheet itself. This may only be done if the sheet was so dramatically changed that it counts as a replacement or is completely redone from scratch. In which case you can put your name on it.
Altering the original arranger's name on a sheet without just cause is considered plagiarism and is strictly prohibited.
For more information on replacements, refer here.


Who to contact for questions, comments, and/or concerns regarding this whole endeavor:
Yours truly 

We will be giving out a common template (just like in the Animal Crossing project) so all the sheets will have the correct game/formatting info. And so it will be less of a hassle if we get an update.

Here is the OST. We will be using the official names which these are.

Our Goals for the Unofficial Replacement Projects:
We hope to edit/replace every sheet in the target game. We will be fixing all musical and formatting errors as well as the url. In addition, we hope to get the formatting up to the standards of Bespinben and make every sheet we do as top quality as possible!
Our ultimate goal is to get a swift update for each unofficial replacement project we do.

Questions you might ask:

What games will you be doing?
We will be starting with the games in the "Super Mario" section and depending on how fast we go, how many people are interested, and how daring the Updaters are feeling, will tell where we go next. For the time being, we will be doing only the "Super Mario" section.

Why the "Super Mario" section?
Well, there are 2 reasons actually. 1. The Mario Pianist and I are big Mario fans obviously and we do have a lot of Mario fans on NSM who would be interested in helping. 2. "Super Mario", "Pokemon", and "Other" are 3 vast libraries of video game music and it would be great if we could get those big categories fixed first.....then we wouldn't have much to go with the other categories. So, we decided to start with "Super Mario" since there is another Pokemon project already in progress and another Pokemon one is going to be starting soon.

Why are you doing only 1 Mario game? Why not do multiple ones at the same time?
We decided that doing it in small little phases would be way more practical than in big bites. It helps us feel like things are getting done and gives us a reasonable and attainable goal. Having 50 songs on the OP can be overwhelming XD

What if no one is interested?
Simple, MarioPianist & I will do all the songs ourselves. Our only goal is to get valuable and quality sheets on the site.

If you have a question that is not above, PLEASE ask! :)

Here is a List of the Sheets that need replaced/edited:
Note: These are not the official names. They are what they appear as on the main site.
Another Note: Songs from this game that have been added after the site url change will not be looked over/replaced/edited because they have the modern standards of sheets and because they have the correct url.

Hey guys! Feel free to give us any help you can! The more help and interest we get, the quicker we can finish this and move on through the Super Mario series. Plus, right now, MLF is alone because I'm in Mexico, unable to assist with the project :(. I'll be back Friday, but until then I'd love to see the number of helpers in this project increase dramatically! Come on! We need your help!  :D

I have a few songs from the Pokemon project that I'm currently working on. As soon as I'm done with them, I'll help out here as well.

[EDIT] I don't think that the website likes your hand sign in the thread. When I press Preview, it tells me that there's no subject. :P

I can do a lot of fixing of formatting and URL errors, as well as some musical errors (that is to say, wrong accidentals or what have you), but re-arranging a sheet that is just plain wrong is a bit beyond my scope. Are all the listed sheets just in need of some superficial fixing, or have you also listed sheets with blatant errors in that list?

Brawler4Ever

The composer of most songs is Yoko Shimomura. The only exceptions currently on the site are "Conversation with Culex" and "Culex Victory," which were composed by Nobuo Uematsu. We don't have "Fight Against Culex" on the site currently, but he also composed that one.

Concerning the songs in the Completed Section: "Beware the Forest's Mushrooms" is called "Forest Maze" on the site, but the mus and pdf versions of the sheet both have it correctly. It should be the former. "Mallow Discovers He's Not a Tadpole" should be called "Sad Song" on both the sheet and site.

What's the actual title of the game? Your template has it as "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars," which I believe to be correct. However, for "Conversation with Culex," "Fight Against an Armed Boss," "Geno Awakens," and "Mallow Discovers He's Not a Tadpole" ("Sad Song"), the name of the game is just given as "Super Mario RPG." Only "Beware the Forest's Mushroom's" has it correct of those in the Completed Section.

Question: Should Square Enix be included in the copyright? Currently we only have Nintendo, but they co-developed the game. I believe that they should both be listed, but I may be mistaken.

Just trying to help keep everything consistent. :)

More unofficial projects? I'm not against them but c'mon guys, we have the official ones for something. Wait until the current one finishes and then you start with this, geez...

Oh yea, should've mentioned this too. The 3D World project is actually going on hold in favor of this one.

The projects about arranging from a specific game makes somewhat sense to me. I can at least be useful so that people can see what songs are left from the game, and which ones are in process by other peoples.

Unfortunately, I agree with Don. Let's see how much we can do with Animal Crossing before we work on this one.

Precisely, let's not split our efforts too much, otherwise each thing will take forever.

As of now, this project has been changed to Super Mario 64. After talking with some people, we decided to change it to Super Mario 64 because of the lack of interest of Super Mario RPG.

I hope you don't mind if we do this unofficially since AC is almost done, Pokemon is 95% done, Banjo is trucking along awesomely, and this is unofficial :)
