Welcome to NinSheetMusic! The world's largest video game sheet music resource for pianists

Hi all! I have a few announcements to make about our staff today.

First, on the updating side! Our friendly neighborhood updater Static will be moving to the Ghost Updater role, and current Ghost Updater Maelstrom will be retiring to Staff Emeritus. Maelstrom has been on the updating team since 2016 and Static since 2017, so please give them a humongous thank you for all their help over the past... many years!

Now, on the moderating side! E. Gadd Industries will be taking a step back from moderating for some time, although his role will not change. With that said, we’re bringing two new Moderators on board to help out - please welcome Atcero and Jake Luigi to the staff! They will help to make sure our community is as welcoming, safe, friendly, fun, and bot-free as ever.

Last but not least - the coding side! You may already be familiar with Cacabish’s work on Encore!! and file conversion tools. Well, today we’re having Cacabish join the staff as a Code Monkey to make the site even better, so please congratulate him accordingly!

That’s all for today! Enjoy your time around NinSheetMusic as always and feel free to reach out with any questions

First time launching new sheets onto the site!

*Turn on the light*

“So, this is the updating room… what is this place?”

*Trips on a stack of archived submissions, knocking over a cabinet full of replaced sheets*

“I...I... I’m okay!”

*Getting up, accidentally pull down a website banner strewn across the desk, causing a Code Monkey cage to fall onto my head, knocking me out cold*

*3 hours pass*

“Hey… are you going to do the update? It’s almost midnight here.”

*Get up, run over to the console (yes there is a console for updating)*

“In a minute!”

Alright time for an update… qwerty… wasd… ctrl, alt, del, now what does this button d-

Hello! As of yesterday(ish), April 11th 2023, NinSheetMusic is nineteen years old!

It's kind of crazy to think that NinSheetMusic has been around for that long - it's quite old for a website! It's still going as strong as ever with a constantly expanding sheet music collection. And a wonderful community that has grown and evolved over the years.

Happy birthday and here's to many more years of helping anyone in the world learn the pieces they want to play!

At long last NinSheetMusic has been liberated from the hostile A.I. takeover!
In their guarded vault lay only a pile of sheets..

Disclaimer: This is an April Fools joke :)

Hello everyone! This is a slightly different announcement than usual. Rather than add some new arrangements to the site today, we’re excited to introduce a new tool that will help us create high-quality sheet music faster than ever.

In current times, AI is the most powerful tool at our disposal for a myriad of uses. Just in the last few decades, we have seen massive breakthroughs in health care, autonomous vehicle control, and many more exciting areas. We’ve also seen more and more applications for normal everyday usage, from home security to digital assistants and beyond. We are only beginning to see what kinds of applications AI can be harnessed for to make the world better.

That’s why we’re thrilled to roll out Encore!!™️, an AI-powered tool to help create sheet music for the site! Because NinSheetMusic specializes in Finale notation files, Encore!!™️ can help you generate one, given a MuseScore notation file or a YouTube video alone. Simply provide the tool with either source, and Encore!!™️ handles the rest of the arrangement for you. It is even integrated with our existing submissions system for you to receive timely feedback from our staff members once ready.

This tool is the result of years of research and months of programming, testing, and refining to achieve optimal accuracy and precision. The brainchild of fellow community member and computer tamer cacabish, Encore!!™️ was developed with a few primary key integrations. First, Encore!!™️ harnesses the power of FlatGPT to provide you with guidance via text for a comfortable user experience as you navigate the tool. The sheet music generation engine was created by hooking up Zeta, our custom bot helper around the site, to use all of the site’s sheet music files for training as examples of what our arrangements look like. Finally, we had one of our Code Monkeys, Th3Gavst3r, feed in countless music videos and MuseScore arrangements of all kinds of styles to ensure the model is able to handle the breadth of any video game music one might throw at it.

All of this together, along with careful manual tuning of various parameters, bring it finally to a point where we’re ready to open it up to the public. Without further ado, here it is!

Encore!!™️

Please enjoy being among the first to experience Encore and feel free to share suggestions on how we can make it even better!

“Who cares about the Finale, when you can have an Encore!!™️?”

This post was written with the assistance of Zeta, your increasingly-sentient friendly neighborhood NSM bot. Stay tuned for upcoming automated arrangement feedback features.
