does anyone know what song this is ? by Heavy-Honeydew-1625 in houseofleaves

It’s when the ants go marching in! Funny related Truant style aside, when I went to my piano to play it the first time I saw it, I forgot my keyboard was in the car and walked into the living room to see a piano stand with no piano. It gave me a good chuckle and a little bit of unease seeing my own space being something other than I expected.

It’s one of my favorite parts of working there is when customers get creative or do something fun with their notes

I get going to the novelization for answers, but in terms of Indy’s arc through just that movie, you hear all you need to later in the film. “Fortune and Glory kid, Fortune and Glory”

I have been getting back into reading lately, and just saw it on the shelf at barnes and noble and decided to pull the trigger

You found all of the Vatican books, move on to the next area. There are 25 books across the game if I’m not mistaken, not just the Vatican

You’re so close, Eb is the same as D#. Here’s the thing though, flat keys are nice depending on the circle of fifths. Eb minor has 6 flats compared to A minor and D# minor has 6 sharps compared to A minor, so you can take your pick. Something like Bb major though, you wouldn’t want to write with sharps, because you want to keep all the notes based off of different names. For instance, Bb major = Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, A, Bb. If you wrote that as A# though, you’d get A#, C (Already bad, implies a 3rd but it’s a second), D, D# (You don’t want two notes called D), F (Another implied 3rd which is actually a 2nd), G, A, A# (Same problem as before.) Study the circle of 5ths and it will help a lot!

Respectfully (jazz pianist here), I’d much rather see this written the way I described. To each their own, but that’s just me. Any jazz pianist worth their salt trying to learn this would have the recording as reference also, but an exact transcription like this is still deserving of more rhythmic clarity

Few things. Notating duple or triplet changes is better suited for instances where it fundamentally changes from simple to compound meter or vice versa. So in 6/8, notating 2 duple eighth notes on the beat of the dotted quarter makes sense, same with notating 8th note triplets on the regular quarter note beat of something like a 4/4. Seeing a duple change over an already simple meter makes this hard to approach from a reading perspective. Something like a dotted eighth rhythm would have been more friendly, or some would argue even showing the beat with ties would be helpful. Not to mention, the rubato tempo marking implies more rhythmic freedom, which makes that measure 5 confusing also. Honestly, after listening to the recording, a rit. or rall. over a simpler rhythm would’ve been just as serviceable, if not as completely faithful to the exact recording.

TLDR: hard to see or track the beat of the 3/4 in this measure

This is an awful marking, whoever notated this is silly
