Bump again...?

OK, here's a thought. In bars 2 - 7 and 18 26 (and more), you have the melody in the right hand with arpeggios, with very little in the left hand. For the sake of simplicity, rather than have the right hand do all the work, could you have the arpeggios played by the left hand (either by jumping or transposing the arpeggio's down)? As a pianist looking at this piece, that is the first thing I would do.

The problem with that is that the arpeggios start on the same pitch as the bass in the left hand (which imo is necessary to the sound of the piece). This means that either the starting pitch of the arpeggios becomes the same pitch as the bass, which makes subsequent pitches lower than the bass which I think would compromise the integrity of it since the bass is no longer, well, the base, or the starting pitch of the arpeggios goes an octave up, which makes the arpeggios unplayable by the left hand while still keeping the bass intact. Trust me, I've thought about it, and I'm not sure that the arpeggios-in-the-left-hand solution is any better than what I actually have written. Maybe some of the notes should be inverted, I dunno, but it's not easy to put that into either hand.

Also, bars 34 - 38, is missing notes on beats 2 and 3, which could be easily put into the left hand.

I actually can't figure out what the hell those notes are, I did try when I was originally arranging this but for some reason I just cannot figure out those pitches. If anyone wants to try that'd be great lmao

There hasn't been any music uploaded for AAI1 yet so that's why AAI2 is the only one there. I would think an AA fan would get that :V

It's not the second game though.

2) articulation: I think there are some notes that should be staccato, particularly some quarter notes on the third beat. Maybe also add some slurs, thereby notating both legato and staccato.

Some of that was notated in the original score. I think it got removed during DV's changing it from 12/8 to 3/4.

As for the dynamics you're probably right, I'll edit that in

edit: ok i changed the file to have the articulations (kinda messy tho because working with finale notepad is like trying to peel a potato with a fish) but I can't really redo the dynamics properly because the tools just plain don't work on notepad so if someone else could get that it'd be nice

ok i get it the time signature's wrong. DV already fixed it. now can we discuss more of the arrangement that isn't time signature related

i'm a little bit salty since i really hate being wrong about time signature related stuff and then in addition to that it sounds like I have people talking down to me a lil for being wrong which probably isn't the case but i take shit real personally

The one we did was from Ham-Hams Unite, this one is at least in another key and might have some added stuff from the transition from 8-bit to 32-bit. Idk lol

-posts at almost 11 am-

I managed to fall off the bed last night. I'm impressed, I've only ever done that twice since the age of, like, 6

WHY DO I KEEP HEARING COMPOUND METER THEN IF EVERYONE'S SO SURE IT'S 3/4 ; ; goddammit i'm supposed to be a music theory person

Final final credits. This.

Anyway, I linked to the playlist before, so feel free to do this tunes

[every song in the Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite soundtrack!]

I would like to announce that as of today, I have finished notating every song in the Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite soundtrack!

They have not been "arranged" yet, only notated. But arranging comes easy once the song has been notated. It's just a matter of doing it, and I'll probably do it this weekend. Keep your eyes peeled!

i'm not saying we should ignore it jesus

fair i guess

I don't disagree with that I just disagree with the amount of attention

and Pianist Da Sootopolis I would say that what Hitler and Mao and Stalin did is not "terrorism" in a strict sense

Nah, intentional terrorism is a lil different
