Wesnoth sheet music

Re: Wesnoth sheet music
I still haven't managed to latch my ear onto a B anywhere. the C E | C I hear/imagine is a bit more on the left side, but unless we can agree on something that sounds good in the piano score, methinks it's best to cut out everything but the obvious top and bottom (from m. 1-2 as well).Inky wrote:I am starting to doubt my sanity, but now what I hear is an instrument on the left playing B C | B and an instrument on the right playing C C# | C
(I listen to these using one earbud at a time which makes it easier to hear the separate parts)
After a nice break to get my ears working again, I can confirm. Though I think the off-beats drop to A for the 2 middle measures. There are also some higher splits on the on-beats (beat 3&4 are E&F, an octave above the current E&D, I believe) but they're quiet enough that they're neither important nor easy to pick out.Inky wrote:For measures 40-45 I think the piano is just repeating this measure 6 times:
Other notes:
- Removed the thirds from the eighth notes in 38 because the higher line is very quiet during that part, and on piano playing both sounds too busy for this song (imo)
- In 24, moved the B by an octave for play-ability
- In 40-45 I added the cello line, though for play-ability it is an octave up for 41-43.
- I'm actually pretty confident with 48-58, either I'm getting better at this or that part was easier than most (or I've gone completely delusional).
- 59 to the end only has the melody so far. It may take some creativity to make a good, strong ending since I can only hear 3 lines plus timpani.

Wow!! Really, really great job in filling out the next parts, especially those 8th notes in 48-58! It's sounding great!
Some notes:
Some notes:
- Just a notation thing - that section starting at m. 28 would be much more readable if the 8th notes were beamed together
- m. 41 beat 2 and m. 44 beats 1-2: I think the cello is playing Bb not A
- m. 51: I think the last 8th note in the top line is G instead of D
- m. 52: The 8th note G on beat 4 of the bottom part should be A
- m. 56 top line beat 3: I think there's a B grace note before the C
- m. 58 2nd 8th note of bottom line: maybe add a low C here since C-E-G is very strong in the piece
- m. 66-67: I think these notes should be shifted to the right by a quarter note (and those high Ab's seem slightly longer than half notes)

Re: Wesnoth sheet music
That looks good to me!
I have also started working on a new horror: a very questionable version of the first minute and a half of The City Falls (I was going to do heroes' rite but I was finding it really hard and ragequit for now ).

Re: Wesnoth sheet music
Great! Then here's the (probably) final version.
As for The City Falls, Wow! What you have so far sounds very good! Though I'm afraid most of my appetite for this stuff is used up for a while.
Brief, big-picture advice:
Also, if you can fit them in, I think the choir's longer notes tie everything together nicely, and are usually more important than the background strings (the current left hand).The last few months have been nothing but one big, painful reminder that TIMTLTW.

Re: Wesnoth sheet music
Cool! I added the link to the first post (and I also removed the notes about your arrangements and just added a note at the top that you made some of these).
Thanks for the suggestions for The City Falls! I'll try to add in the choir notes and simplify the rhythm (plus, it will be easier to play that way ).

Re: Wesnoth sheet music
Uh, what do you mean I was supposed to be working on The City Falls? (I'll get back to that one sometime!)
In the meantime, I've made an attempt at Legends of the North by West! Any corrections, suggestions etc. welcome as usual.
I think I've really messed up the rhythm at that section starting at measure 29 though. Maybe this part would sound better if I deleted some of that dotted 8th stuff. Also I get the feeling that the 3 notes starting the phrases (e.g. the G A B on measure 33 beat 2) are not triplets, seems like the first two notes are slower, but I can't tell what the rhythm is.
Also the ending where the theme comes back (measure 66) isn't too epic, maybe I should put octaves or try to add some kind of chords there. Otherwise you may have to resort to banging on the keys really hard again.
EDIT: moved Legends of the North attachment two posts down
---------------------------
EDIT: And I went back and tried to fix the High King's March by West. I *cough* definitely didn't do something like write the accompaniment one sixth too low in the previous version.
Besides fixing (I hope...) the accompaniment, I also added the final measures, and made an attempt to make it playable on piano!

Re: Wesnoth sheet music
Very nice as always! I don't have a lot of time for this right now, but here are my thoughts.

Re: Wesnoth sheet music
Thanks for the help again! (There may have been some ragequitting involved due to musescore being annoying, which is part of why it took so long )
I've also started working a bit on the new main theme Return to Wesnoth, though I've only written out the very beginning so nothing interesting to post just yet!

Re: Wesnoth sheet music
Well, if your evil plan was to force each one to wear a flat or natural, then make them stand in a circle and guess which- oh wait, wrong forum. Though it seems the E flat from the downbeat of 43 has turned invisible (probably hiding for fear of in-hygienic hat puzzles).Inky wrote:It looks like you've caught on to my evil plan to cause ear damage by adding random E naturals everywhere
Anyway, everything sounds great now, very nice. Looking forward to Return to Wesnoth!

Re: Wesnoth sheet music
Ugh, I must have done that when I was fixing a bunch of notes that musescore messed up due to changing the time signature earlier (why is there an option to make notes invisible anyway??)Samonella wrote:Though it seems the E flat from the downbeat of 43 has turned invisible (probably hiding for fear of in-hygienic hat puzzles)
No doubt it was hiding after seeing its fellow Eb in measure 29 getting horrifyingly turned into an E natural, but I've forced it out of hiding now
Anyway I made quite a bit of progress on Return to Wesnoth today! and I wonder why I never seem to get anything done on weekends
I still need to write out the very end, and try add the quarter/8th accompaniment to that slow section at the end.
Wasn't quite sure what to do for measures 9-24 at the beginning: it wasn't playable in the original octave so I tried moving the melody up an octave and sort of doubling the notes in the bottom part so they don't end up completely buried in the top part.
I hope I wrote the right key signatures... the key signatures in this piece are more evil than Mal Ravanal
Anyway, the piece is included in Wesnoth ver. 1.13.10 if anyone's wondering where to find it.
