What key/time signature is this song in?

[InsigTurtle]

The rhythm doesn't have to be 100% accurate, since cadenza are usually played freely, without a strict rhythm, and the performer is supposed to accelerate and decelerate in the appropriate places.
IMO, having just the basic note values and adding "accel" or "rit" where necessary should be fine.

Does anyone know what this song is? I know I recognize it.....

Granted, the FNAF version is transposed down a minor third, and it's a bit more jittery.

[Sebastian]

Yes, that's it!
Thanks. I knew I heard that before and I couldn't find it anywhere.

Should I notate this in 14/8 and 13/8, or 14/16 and 13/16? Or another way?

[TheMarioPianist]

Well actually, it goes 1 measure of 14/8 followed by one of 13/8. That seems to repeat indefinitely. So, 27/8 or 27/16 would be my guess. I'd probably go 27/16 but I'd wait for someone else to verify.

[mastersuperfan]

Huh, wasn't thinking... Yeah, 27/16 would be more logical.

And upon arranging... the score becomes a train wreck. O.O How should I connect the sixteenth notes together, if at all?

I'll help you with that later...I gotta go to sleep I'll help tomorrow, unless someone gets here first!

[mastersuperfan]

Oh, god, this switches to 26/16 (14+12) partway through.

Now this is making me wonder if I should notate this in 27/16 and 26/16, or 14/16, 13/16, and 12/16. Anyone else have an idea on which one to use?

EDIT: Or it might be 25/16. It sounded like 26, but now I come up one note short when trying to notate.

Either way, I'll be gone for a while now.

EDIT AGAIN: It goes to 25/16 (13+12)... O.o

I feel like I should actually be notating it in 14/16, 13/16, and 12/16, because they definitely sound like very distinct measures. I'd like to get other people's thoughts on this.

[InsigTurtle]

I'd notate it as 14/8+13/8 for the A section, then 13/8+12/8 for the B section Although there's probably a more correct way of doing it.
Just regarding the beaming.
Note where the accented notes are.
In the first part, it goes something like
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Around 0:22 it then switches to something like
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Then it repeats.
Each measure begins with that "1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3" accent pattern.

[mastersuperfan]

Yeah, that's what I thought would be logical. Thanks for confirmation. The arranging itself is just about done, so I'm just cleaning it up and doing formatting and that stuff. It's not particularly hard to arrange, but the time signature is super tricky.

[Sebastian]

Am I correct in assuming that this song is in 13/8?

[Olimar12345]

Yeah. 7/8-6/8(3/4). 2+2+3+2+2+2

[Sebastian]

Should I write it in 13/8 or 7/8 and 6/8?

[Olimar12345]

It's up to you.
