Arrangement Contest No. 8 in B# "Mix"olydian "Amalgamation"

[BrainyLucario]

I totally agree. Let's go with that.

Wait...with what?

[Sebastian]

Maelstrom and Olimar about the expression.

[JDMEK5]

"Guys I'm gonna fuse Kakariko Village with Windfall Island"

[mikey]

I asked brainy all about that and he said it was ok

[daj]

So umm judges, can we use other programs and submit a playback file/video/musescore link instead? ^^

(as in, instead of a mus)

[E. Gadd Industries]

I don't see an issue with it (so long as I can still see/listen to the piece; it has to have sheet music and an associated audio file). Anyone else oppose?

[Maelstrom]

We strongly prefer .mus files, and they should be included. We'll need to talk about whether all formatting points will come from that, the native file, or the PDF, as that is sort of universal.

[JDMEK5]

^I vote PDF

[Olimar12345]

As far as formatting goes: I would just like to reiterate that these should be in no way as strict as the site submissions guidelines are. I would think this would go without saying, but I've been counted off in the past for having no site URL and no game publisher copyright information (two separate times). Also, the OP says that the subtitle must include the game name and track title; you meant for both games and tracks, right?

[JDMEK5]

Mash-Up two video game songs and combine them into one awesome piece!

I think I have done what you said.

[Olimar12345]

I meant this part:

"Formatting: No need to follow the site guidelines, but please include a title, subtitle (containing original song title and game)..."

Shouldn't it be "original song titles and games?"

[JDMEK5]

^It should, but my money is on that it was copy/pasted.

[Oronoco]

As far as I'm concerned, you don't even need "Composition by" before the composer name or running titles on every page (not really a fan). It's great that NSM has formatting standards, but when it comes to your own arrangements that aren't for the site, there should definitely be more liberty.

Of course, if the NSM standards are your absolute-favorite, that's completely all right.

[braix]

It's okay if my title is just "'Song One'/'Song Two'", right
