Ack. I forgot to mention the most important part... I need to see those pictures again! I can't zoom in on the here. Right click it and open it in a new tab. Sorry it's sideways!

I'm on mobile, but I tried the equivalent of that and it let me save it to my phone. Thanks!

What would be the mood this song is trying to convey? I'm tossing around various stuff in my head but I can't quite pinpoint what sounds best so I could make a decent arrangement for this x3 (and I'm such a noob at making arrangements for songs, bear with me!)

Maybe slightly eerie but also encouraging? I dunno.

For reference, check out Mother Knows Best from Tangled. It should be very eerie, but each person is trying to persuade Apollo to take their side. He's stuck between three venus fly traps.

So,,,,, I have a little bit of the arrangement for this song made up already, but now I'm stuck and I need help! (I was thinking of creating a new thread for this, but then I just thought nah coz the arrangement isn't done anyway.) Here's what I have so far (not even halfway done, I know, oh gosh). It's somewhere around measure 12 that I need help on, right after "you and I?" I'm having difficulties finding a good transition between the end of that and the beginning of "The crime" and it's bothering me. While we're at this, feel free to add/fix anything else you'd like! (I made it editable) This is my first time composing an arrangement and I need all the help I can get x3 In the general of the song, I actually changed the melody a bit to vary it up a bit and add some more of a "musical spice", if you know what I mean xD and the tone of the song will change as it switches from person to person. Kristoph's is the creepiest, coz, you know, Kristoph. It'll get lighter and less spooky, promise! And according to a post in the "Paths are winding to the truth" thread that the locket is gonna be taken out of the plot and this is kinda ?? makin me worry ???? Please more details on this so I can adjust my plans for the future of this song!

I don't think I can help with the composing part of it; it's not my forte (THAT WAS A PUN!) so hopefully someone else can help you there but even though I'm not helpful, I still think it's genius and you're genius and yeah good job!

Dude you're doing good! I'm struggling to sing along, but that might just be because I'm so used to the version I made. XD I fixed some of the chords so that might help:

Update time! I'm making slow but steady progress on the arrangement for Ace Up Your Sleeve! Just putting the link in here again just so ya'll can take a listen at what I got so far. Any questions/suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated! Also we really need more composers on our team lmao

Could we get more of a pause in measure 20 and less of a pause in measure 13? Measure 20 is the start of the chorus, which is repeated by every character. It sounds awkward to have a pause halfway through a verse but not between the verse and the chorus. Also I'm lowkey disappointed about the triplets being gone but I'm probably just salty because that's the way I originally wrote it and how dare it be different now. Now I have to learn to sing a whole different version. XD The song is pretty much 99% eighth notes, though, which makes the melody very choppy. I know that the staccato notes on Noteflight are not helping with this, but a little bit of rhythmic diversity would sound great in the vocal part.

The actual piano part is impressive. I dunno how you do what you do, man.

Wow! This just keeps getting better! I love the piano part, and I love that 16th note thing you did with Apollo's section.
What if, for the rhythm of the melody, we kept it straight eighths for KRISTOPH to represent how he's so... True to the law? But then as the song goes on it gets more and more syncopated and eventually is all over the place. Because each character is less and less of a rule follower, though Trucy is just crazy but in a good way.
Also, I really like the idea of turning that pause into a 3/4 measure or something. Like, at the end of each line of the verse, have a short time signature change. I feel like it adds to the unceartainty in the mood of the song.

I think we have a few so far--are you talking about the one when Kris leaves? But that's a wonderful idea! I think I'll use that.

Diana could probably run what you've got through garage band and make some adjustments if she's got time. Which is a big if.

I might be able to do that when I get home, but that won't be for another couple weeks.
The pause I was talking about was the one MadFox wanted switched to after the first verse. If, at the end of every verse, there was a couple 3/4 measures, I think that would be really neat.

Another update! So I finally finished making changes with everyone's requests and suggestions and now it's time for everyone's thoughts! Lumos, I couldn't put the 3/4 time signature in quite yet with this pause (because I decided to use a repeat sign to condense the sheet music) but I think I'll be able to incorporate it after Phoenix's little spiel. We'll see, I don't know x3 Also I again am stuck oop s. I have no idea what to do after the 16th notes. Should I keep going with the 16th notes? Change it up a bit?

I edited some stuff!!! Sorry if I wasn't supposed to do that. I thought it would be cool to make the background more chaotic as Apollo's verse went on. So you might want to edit what I just did. XD
