- Snomits' Sheets -

Free sheet music and corresponding midi's for anime, games, and more! All sheets are for a solo pianist except for those in the Instrumental section.

Credits where they're due to the composer (or arranger as indicated), but they were transcribed by me.

Woh!

Shamed to say, but I got kinda stuck on the chords in the middle of the song... 4 or 5 bars where the LH just plays some whole note chords. I'm so terrible at chords! Feel free to point out what it should be. ._.

Updated just about all of my sheets to correct spacing and oddities here and there, as well as update the url in the footer :). Biggest change was prob to Pokemon's Verdanturf Town where I halved note values.

Found a folder with a bunch of half-finished things so I'm going to try to dig up the source audio files. There was also this Byousoku 5cm song which I'd finished - why didn't I ever add that? Doubtless I then forgot about it after.

Egads!

The first time I ever uploaded anything... I just picked a random song. Been seeing more and more of these recently. I always wanted to have some kind of preview of my songs without having to actually play it on the piano.

I spent a long time trying to get the stems of voice 2 on Sibelius to go both up and down according to note position. I can only get them to go either all up, or all down. I wanted to do this so I could get LH to be green on the keyboard instead of both RH and LH blue. Too bad. Instead I used an external keyboard (which has key labels, whoo). You might not be able to read it, but beside the key names are numbers: 3, 4, etc. These refer to the octaves. "3rd A from the left" for example. Also, notes kept getting cut off when I had the page scroll automatically with the playback so I did it manually with my mouse scroll wheel. -o_-o How unpro.

Feedback appreciated!

Can't believe it's September already. Only one more week of freedom for me. Throughout the day I spent my time clicking on the "add" button to add a course for school via the online system. Course was full, was waiting for someone to switch out so I could get in. Terrible system. It's extremely slow and bogs down very easily.

So I added an articles section where I could dump my ramblings. Also where I tried to answer some questions that I see asked around. It'll have some lists of suggested songs based on difficulty or for duets, for example. Hope these are useful! I encourage you to leave questions/issues/comments about anything - anything! - so I can run my mouth - or fingers rather, I'm doing a fine job of achieving carpal tunnel at this rate - off some more.

Yes, I know I still have to finish Purity of Your Smile.

July 30, 2010

I hadn't realized Not So Far Away (Studio A arrangement) from Ragnarok Online wasn't on the list here after changing the site design. Well, it's back now. And I do so like all of their arrangements.

July 29, 2010

Here's the about the first minute of Purity Of Your Smile at least. I've been more into finding sheets (vs making them myself) and in terms of noise to the ears, TBH I'd rather have piano sheets for some other songs. So I haven't much been working on this at all heh. But it'll get done! Eventually.

Partway transcribing, I doubled the note values so, for example, all 16th notes become 8th, and 8th become 1/4 notes. That gets rid of the 32nd notes and more importantly helps it start bars on the right note (unless it should be in 2/4 time?). Whether it's less "correct" or not, I'd appreciate the opinion on which is preferred. Else I'm working with the doubled version and uploading the sheets as I go, so it's further along than the non-doubled pdf.

See September 3's update!

Dude, by the way, it's not "snawmits". I used the name for some other things before and when I heard friends pronounce it snawmits it irked me to no end. I mean, why? How are you getting that pronounciation? It was originally "snow mitts". You know. Snow mitts. Sounds like that. But recently my brother pointed out the urbandictionary definition. Damnit. Really? Such a word is used? ... Really? But it's such a downer to change the url/name again and all the nice people who linked to my stuff would have going to have broken links. Tch. So just remember: it's pronounced "snow".

Another update on status: Trying out something else for transcribing, and that should suffice so I'd get back to transcribing but... (1) Exam next week; (2) Going on va-kay right after for about two weeks. Vacation. Cruise. First time I'll have ever been on one. Nifty. I'm working for the rest of the summer, but I'm hoping to get at least finish one piece. I won't be going back to it until July though because of (1) and (2).

This is what I have my eyes on: Requiem from Phantom (the anime) - just noticed this has been transcribed; sry to the requester back in Jan. =_=, Purity of Your Smile from Ragnarok Online (arranged by Studio A), Saihate by one of the Vocaloid producers (piano arrangement). If I ever finish those, perhaps Just Be Friends another Vocaloid one (arranged for the piano + voice) and Evening Sun Slope, but they're freaking long at 6 mins. Studio A's 5 min songs were long enough for me. But if sheets come out for these songs before I get to them, all the better. Then I can play them without slaving over making sheets hahah.

Check out the new Future songs page to get a listen of the songs.

While I'm at it, you know what sheets I also want: piano arrangement of Shangri-La by Angela Aki (also used in the Fafner anime, of which I can't remember the full name of 'cause I never watched it). :x

Hope everyone's having a stupendous summer!

Changed layout. I really didn't like looking at the previous one. Could barely read it. I only used it because it was the only layout I had lying around - which was one of the earliest versions of this site. Think six years ago. Has it really been that long? Ah. I had a lot of plans for making my own layout and things, but in the end I decided not to bother.

Check out my Tumblr for new sheets! All with videos too. Again, not made/uploaded by me but some are of the newest anime OPs out there. You might be hard pressed to find some of these because I'm grabbing most from Nico Nico Douga or non-English sites.

April 8, 2010

D'oh. I still can't get things working, what I use for transcribing. Um. That's just unfortunate. I'm stumped. It's complaining that I'm missing a .dll file even though it clearly exists in the right folder. And it just happened all of a sudden.

In the meantime, I've tossed up a tumblr blog sort of thing, to plop down vids/songs I find (they weren't made/transcribed/uploaded by me) especially if sheet music's available. Most will be from Nico Nico Douga or rando Japanese sites. If it's already on YouTube or on an English site, some good Googling would be all it'd take, right? But there are actually a lot of good transcriptions out there that just haven't reached the English community because of the language barrier. Not that I'm fluent. But there are times I want some sheet music enough to sift through everything.

So far just a few medleys are up, and I'll be focusing on Vocaloid and Touhou songs for a bit. Programmed voices never appealed to me, but I recently tried some out and found the songs themselves quite catchy. I've listened to some utattemita covers (real people singing the Vocaloid songs), which sound much better IMO. Well, depending on the singer since they're not professionals (*cough* many are... well, not so great). What I like most about the songs are admittedly the back stories, animations, and - how best to describe - the broad range they cover. Violin, traditional songs, what sounds more folk, mmhmm. There are some nice piano arrangements out there too, like "Just Be Friends", "Uta ni Katachi wa nai keredo", and "Itsuka Egao, Itsumo Egao". I've only managed to find piano + voice sheets for the last of those three, but there're solo piano versions of the first two around. On top of that, collaborations between 2, 8, 15 singers exist - those can be quite neat.

Enough rambling about that. I just discovered the OP for Durarara!! (Uragiri no Yuuyake) while at it, so I added the video + sheet to the tumblrthing.

I'll be trying to update it pretty frequently since all the hard work was already done by the performer/arranger bwahah.

Spam galore in the shoutbox... replaced with a rando chat room thing I just discovered. Hope that works alright for now.

January 19, 2010

Just an update since December: I've fixed the links to the Gundam songs and re-added Mosaic Kakera from Code Geass (all in anime section).

Next song I started was Requiem from Phantom's OST (the anime). It was requested on ichigos.com and I do find it nice, yet short piece. I thought I'd have it done a while ago but - hahah! - not so. I'm slow like that.

Glad to see the Shoutbox being used :D Just pointing it out to those who don't know of its existence. Easier to check than e-mail.

Been sitting on this for a little while, not feeling up for "double-checking" when I finished writing out the notes the first run. Have a good Christmas/New Year's/Holiday!

December 20, 2009

Wow, okay. I've been off the scene for AGES. And then finally my site got an unrighteous boot so I've moved it and - what's this - finally gotten my own domain! So I was waiting for a killer deal because I can't spend the extra coupla bucks... by that I mean just a few days. But exam weeks are terrible. Everything is on a complete hold until they're over.

Anyway, I'm on a break right now so I've some plans for this. In the meantime I've gone back to my roots and put up my super-old site, thanks to Wayback Machine. This means a good chance of broken links and songs I've done after the site change in 2007/2008 probably haven't been added yet. I'll be checking on that first, then starting to work on some things to redesign the site. Nothing complicated in aesthetics: I want it super minimalistic but to include some features that I haven't tried to integrate before. I'm also halfway through another Studio A arrangement of a Ragnarok Online song!

At least the site's back!! :D Download, grab, snatch, nab a ton of sheets!
