Hey everyone! Aikata here with another sheet music thread! We’ve come a long way from our original thread. Both this and the old thread got archived, so we made a new thread, but then Anet was amazing and brought us out of the archives…so now we’re back here!
Original Thread / Archived Thread
Same deal as before: Look through and find your favorite songs to play! Post new songs in this thread and I’ll (occasionally) come back to add them to the list. As stated previously, I won’t be keeping a list of requests anymore, but feel free to fulfill them as a songwriter! Here are the general guidelines as stated in the previous thread.
For song writers:
Many of you will notice that songs from the older thread were written in various ways. Some used “—-” to denote note length while others used spacing. Some used nothing at all, which is fine, too. The biggest hassle came from denoting which octave to play in. While creating this thread, I saw many, MANY variances, and I think it is agreeable that to keep these songs as accessible as possible we should make notation as simple as possible. For this, I quote Donari from the previous (previous) thread:
Donari.5237:Formatting! I, the horrible non-musician, have found the ones done in this format the easiest to touch-type and produce ( the below is not an actual tune, just the idea of how to type one):
5 (123 4 223 1) 786 5 (456 6 456)
Where a plain number is the lower octave and anything in parentheses is the higher one. That way each time I see a ( or a ) I know it is time to tap the 9 and it stands out as not being a note, plus sequences clearly show which octave they are in. And a space means let the note hang a moment before hitting the next one.
I’m voting for all the posted songs to be in that format. Also for more classical and folk. Much love to the skilled music makers who can help us all sound classy!
Continuing this method, I suggest this for three octave instruments:
Low Octave
(Middle Octave)
[High Octave]
Here’s an example for harp (also including a notation guide for chords if you’re feeling really snazzy…).
I also ask that we use the spoiler format to reduce page length, like shown.
2 345 (12) 53
212 53 212 53
Repeat.
(6 54 3215 31 223) 76
(6 54 3215 31 223) 76 (3)
2 345 (12) 53
212 53 212 53
Repeat the whole thing as much as you’d like!
For requests: Please start your post with a bolded REQUEST to make it easier to spot!
Thanks for your continued contributions, and happy music-making!
