Additions to In-Game Music

[PixelJr]

This thread is dedicated to the songs (transcribed by players) that we mostly hear in-game. These are suggestions coming from an experienced transcriber (or more commonly known by players as a 'composer').

Double Note - Plays a note 2 consecutive times on a single space, each note lasts 2 times the BPM set. This would help save space in a world, leaving more room for a longer song.

Ability to change the duration of Sheet Music - Blank - This idea popped out of my head when I realized how space-consuming it is to have a long rest in between 2 parts of a song. This would also help in saving space.

Note Durations - Self-explanatory; Having more durations for every note makes a better song.

World Lock Options :
- Allow players to set a volume for each type of note (the Spanish Guitars are barely audible when played with a Piano Note).
- Set Audio Racks to become invisible.

Increase Spanish Guitar and Bass Notes' Volume - (Only if previous suggestion is rejected)

Ability to place notes behind a background without replacing them - In my opinion, the Weather Machine - Background wasn't enough to solve the issue of having an empty background with notes due to the fact that it only has 1 type of background (Some players require 2 or more types of background to design a world).

More Notes - Thinking of new sounds like a snare, cow bell, electric guitar, or other types of piano including synth.


May add more ideas soon. Feel free to add this thread link to your siggy if you'd love to have these implemented!

The notes behind the background is something i really need too. Because currently we have to sacrifice and replace our beautiful background if we need music. So yea, i recomend this.

World Lock Options :
- Allow players to set a volume for each type of individual note (the Spanish Guitars are barely audible when played with a Piano Note).
- Set Audio Racks to become invisible.

+1. If I may add, setting a volume for each note means you need to wrench it one by one. And currently, there is no wrench-able background tile in the game, am I right? So I think adding this would be pretty tricky.

No. This will ruin many worlds since the creators have managed to think of a way to cover up those notes while ACTUALLY putting a good design to the world. I mean, this has also been suggested for a long time and trust me, this one's hard to be implemented. (just like adding more octaves)

+1, snare and electric guitar might sound cool!

Let me rephrase my suggestion — what I meant to say is 1 volume for each type of note (not per single note), for example all Piano notes in the world will be at a volume of 50, while the Spanish Guitars will be at a volume of 100. There's no need to toggle them one by one (although this is how the Audio Racks work)

Great for everyone, especially musicians.

Don't really get the double piano note cus I'm stoopid.
The ability to change the blank note duration will be great.
Note durations sound pretty tricky to code, unless it's a duration for all the notes of the same type.
Changing volumes for notes would be amazing! I would love to hear more of those funky basslines.
Audio racks to become invisible would be nice.
I actually have suggested for music notes to be placed without backgrounds disrupting them, sadly, it wasn't really noticed. My suggestion to fix this was for music notes to be their own block type.
New notes I want to be added in are:
Cowbells, Synths, Ride, Bells, and Rimshots (hitting the rim of a snare drum).

Don't really get the double piano note cus I'm stoopid

The double piano note is pretty much a single sheet note that plays one note after the other in one space (the notes being played at twice the world's BPM is mandatory); Let's say the world's BPM is 60, the double note will play 2 consecutive notes when the highlight reaches that coordinate.

Note durations sound pretty tricky to code, unless it's a duration for all the notes of the same type.

When you're a perfectionist like me, nothing would ever be hard to code It'll be very worth it as it adds life to the songs, as having 1 duration for all notes makes it sound pretty 'simple'.

Interesting choices I must say. Hope ya don't mind if I add some of the ones I'm familiar with

[Astigmatisme]

we just want 6 octaves

[DynPlaysGT]

we just want 6 octaves

Heck, even just 3 would be enough for a vast majority of music.

[Oma357]

+1 i mean why not

[JustRandom]

Cool idea

[Satania]

Add music sheet: skip
functions similarly to repeat music sheet but skips instead
repeat will always go first before skip

[Chopin]

They should improve the quality of the current notes first, they sound soooo bad.
And instead of double notes, trills should be added.

[SnowBlizter]

+1 (10chars)

[Boots of Hermes]

We should have Double Sharp (x/##) and Double Flat (bb) as well, as they exists in the real music notation

Example:

0 G#4 A4 G#4 Fx4 G#4 C#5 E5 D#5 C#5 D#5 C#5 B#5 C#5 E5 G#5

Eb4 Eb4 Eb5 Bb4 Bbb4 Ab4 Gb4 Eb4 Gb4 Ab4

[Pensidian GT]

+1 That would be great and make the music in worlds sound even nice

[pannenkoek2012]

Next we need square, triangle and noise wave.
