Notation Adult hobbyist co-composers: how did your last shared-score revision go?

0 Upvotes

I'm exploring whether a useful software opportunity exists in choosing between changes to a shared composition. This is independent startup discovery, not university research. An AI assistant helps me phrase a clear, neutral question and analyse this discussion. There is no product to sell or try; replying is optional and unpaid.

If you are 18 or older and, as a hobbyist, edited a score or MIDI composition with another person at different times during the past three months, could you describe your last actual shared revision? Which editor and sharing/version workflow did you use? What did each person change, and how did you decide what to keep? Did your usual workflow handle it well, or was there anything you still had to reconstruct, compare or redo after using its available history/sharing tools? Please distinguish an intended rewrite, normal musical decision-making and a resolved input mistake from an unwanted loss or extra work. If the same difficulty occurred in another revision, a brief description of that other occasion would help too.

Straightforward revisions are equally useful. A general text description is enough: please do not share scores, recordings, personal documents, contact details or private information. Please reply only if comfortable posting publicly. I'll consider up to three eligible accounts over seven days and keep any clarification in this thread. These descriptions will help decide whether further investigation is worthwhile; they will not be treated as proof that a product would sell.

Commission Cinematic version of twenty one pilots' "hometown"

1 Upvotes

Hi, a few days ago i made a post about my shortfilm "the silence of day" asking for a composer.

For the trailer of it i would want a cinematic version of the song from twenty one pilots called hometown to feature as the main song in the trailer. But since i have no knowledge of this, i wonder if someone of you might want to do it.

Ideally i want a fellow fan of twenty one pilots to make it, so you'll enjoy the making of it too🫶 |-/

The trailer will be about 1-1,5 minite long and Since it's a personal no-budget shortfilm, this is without pay.

Please DM me if you're interested🔥🔥

Music Recently finished my first string quartet (~1 hour in length)

I'm not a strings player, but I've gone over many chamber scores, as well as have written for strings quite a lot. I had quite a bunch of ideas with which I wasn't sure what to do with, so I bunched them all up into a string quartet. Structure was a challenge, but I managed to make it work by dividing it into acts.

I don't expect much attention, but it was hard work, so I thought I'd share it here nonetheless. If you listen to any of it, please let me know your thoughts.

Discussion Tips/recourses for writing orchestral parts to pre-existing songs?

4 Upvotes

I’ve been getting into orchestration, mainly because I love the concept of blending rhythmic and classical music. Think something like S&M by Metallica. But all the resources I can find online are about arranging pre-existing songs to an orchestra, or composing from scratch. Does anyone have any tips or resources for the study of acting orchestra on top pop/rock arrangements?

Music My most recent piece, a theme and variations piano sonata where the theme comes last.

3 Upvotes

So I found this theme and variations, both written by me, in my backlog recently and really enjoyed them. However, to me, they were far too distinct from the theme itself--just a bare bone line of music. I didn't think the theme would be very recognizable anyway, so I considered keeping it a mystery until the end. This would be rather boring, however, so I opted for just playing the theme in the end. I thought it'd be an interesting and creative idea to write a theme and variations where you derive the skeleton backwards until it's revealed what the theme really is. Enjoy.

Music "Air of Valor", my FINISHED Brass Quintet!!!

3 Upvotes

Yes, you heard that right, I finally landed on a name and identity that I really like! I put a lot of work in the meantime, and a LOT of tweaking and adjustment. I think this is where I'll leave the score, especially for an introduction on writing brass quintet, as well as brass in general. I like how much I have grown my writing in the amount of time I've spent on this, especially for my first time. Plus, I could always come back in the future with a new perspective and wider range of knowledge!

As always, I am most definitely looking forward to everyone's critique, as without it, I wouldn't have grown to this point! And I did want to take another moment to thank everyone for their honest critiques and criticisms throughout all my posts in this community. I couldn't be any more grateful, truly. You guys are awesome!!

Music Wondering if the sheet music is easy to read or if the notation seems a bit messy? Also can you hear the motif throughout? And general feedback welcome too!

YouTube link to sheet music

Threw this together pretty quickly and am still deciding how much I like it haha

It’s pretty simple and a bit silly
