Haven't done any arranging for a while with my rather demanding piano repertoire, so while I practice, would somebody give me the time sig to this lovely thing out of the kindness of their heart? <3 Thanks friends~ I would say "yoomtah!" but it's the wrong game

Seems like good ol' 4/4 to me. (At least that's what Bespinben had when he orchestrated this one.)

It's the same as the rest of the piece: 12/8 or 6/8

If you want to get really technical, it's either this or this. The fact that there are both Ebs and E naturals make it kind of confusing, and I am not by any means an expert here. Someone else let me know if any of these are reasonable...I would think it would make more sense to write it in C Dorian or C Mixolydian, unless the modes I linked above are more common than I think. I'd definitely wait for someone else to either second or refute this.

It's C-lydian. There are some notes used that aren't from C-lydian, but that is only because that second melody is always a major third beneath the melody - and so F, Eb and Bb are sometimes used under A, G and D, respectively.
So C-major.

This is why I don't answer these questions. ;D

This song confuses me. Is it 3/4 or 6/8? Seem to go in both, or alternate constantly, or 6/8 in RH and 3/4 in LH at times. What do you guys think?

10/10 tobbeh

I thinks it's 6/8. It has that constant 2/4 feel.



mikey

oh cool
this is actually similar to Ballad of the Goddess from Skyward Sword, where it can be counted in both.  For this one 6/8 seems more appropriate imo and then you would just use triplets as opposed to 3/4 using dotted quarters or whatever
that might just be my bias for 6/8 speaking though maybe it's technically more correct to run it as 3/4 but I'm not a pedagogue
