Thats fine....didnt really expect anyone to check them all...lol.
Just want to know if Boggly Woods (5/4) and Glitzville (2/4) are right.


Thanks for the intro by the way. Did you start it and never finish it or...?

You've heard of Mission: Impossible, right?  That's pretty much the main 5/4 song.  The other one is the theme from The Incredibles!

You really need to play/listen to more concert band music, MLF :P


Granted, this shifts meters a lot, but I mean, if you've never heard/played anything in 5/4 at all, that needs to change, yo

I'm arranging the super metroid soundtrack (musical songs not on site) and need the time signatures and keys double checked

Crateria--space pirates emerge 4/4, C minor

Brinstar--Overgrown with Vegetation  4/4, C minor

Spore Spawn  4/4 ? ? ? ? ? (completed)

Hostile Incoming (before boss)  4/4 C sharp minor?

Kraid/other bosses  ? ? ? ?   ? ? ?  ? ? ? ?

Theme of Samus Aran: Galactic Warrior  4/4 Changes a lot, not sure what keys it's in

Mother Brain  7/8 ? ? ? ?

credits/ending 4/4 starts in C# minor, but I think it changes.

Already did: Brinstar (Red Soil Area)


FireArrow

Spore Spawn: F# minor
Hostile Incoming: F# minor
Kraid/other bosses: 5/4 - E minor
Mother Brain: F# minor

Take the key signatures with a grain of salt, I didn't transcribe much notes.

Is it fine to put them in G flat minor instead? For some reason, I find it easier to play.

Have you already started the Spore Spawn boss theme? I had an arrangement of that somewhere...

Also, why is Gb minor easier to read than F# minor? I'd much rather only read 3 sharps than 5 flats and 2 double flats d:

Um, no? Playing isn't any different and Gb minor is hell to sight read.

Woops, I was thinking of F# major. This makes it easier.

Ditto


While I'm here, I do have a question about time signatures:
How can you tell the difference between 3/4 & 6/8 and 4/4 and 2/4?
Those are the only ones I have trouble recognizing the difference between.
Unlike 4/4 & 12/8 which I CAN tell the difference between :)
