Hi,
I own musicalnexus.net and as many of you know we are a music sharing site. We have been an official mabinogi fan site for years now and a lot of us from the site have also been playing the MapleStory 2. While most of us agree that the score sheets themselves are a ridiculous gold sink for no reason. The real thing that slows down composing is the fact that the tempo is separate per track instead of taken all at once from one track.
In Mabinogi we could set up all of our tempo changes in one track and then put the actual MML music in the other tracks, this made it easy to manage the tempo changes and it kept the entire song in sync. But you can also have tempo's spread out across tracks, and it still keeps all the tracks in sync.
I am attaching this poll to gather feedback on what other's think about this, and if they agree that MS2 should have global tempo's instead of per track tempo's. It would speed up composing time significantly in some cases if tempo's were global. Also, it would make almost all of the Mabinogi music compatible right away, instead of needing tempo edits.

Not only does it make composing songs much easier it saves a lot of wasted time.
Because you may have to split all the notes in one track add the tempos and then recombine them.
Doing this once may not seem like an issue but doing it up 15 times is just a chore.
Here's hoping you change it to global tempo.
:>
I'm only just now getting my feet wet as a composer for MS2 side on nexus, some of the first obstacles I've learned to go out of my way for are timing related. After so many, it's proving to be a bit tedious to line things up sometimes. (like several hours to go through a track and find out it's misaligned if the track wasn't natural to the midi).
I'm still addicted to composing and I'm gonna continue to cry as I craft...but I hope this feedback is conducive.
This will also save us extra characters for those songs that barely fit some music scores
But I'd really like more options for making the music. Like one thing that irked me with Mabinogi is how singing couldn't contain words, because it had no system for them. Even though Mabi had a Vocaloid event. As far as I'm aware, MML never implemented a phonetic alphabet system, or whatever the instrumental equivalent would be. I'm not too versed in music making programs, but I don't see why they couldn't update MML for that.
Nexon, Please just ask devcat how they did it for Mabinogi and copy it lol.
