Excellent, thanks! I've been wanting to get sheets for this since I heard it in the (E3?) trailer.

It is not the E3 trailer music. i have the h3 soundtrack and they are both different.

They are very, very slightly different. One is an edited version of the other.

The E3 2007 vid starts out with the monk theme. Around 0:20 it kicks in with "One Final Effort", picking up that track at about 0:16.

The two tracks are note for note until about 1:09 on the trailer, where the track there skips to 1:29 in "One Final Effort".

Basically the 3:00 track "One Final Effort" had parts cut out of it to fit into the 2:00 E3 2007 trailer, and the monk theme was added to the front of it.

It's the same track. If you cut Beethoven's Fifth into two pieces and play them separately, you don't get two new pieces of music. You get two halves of Beethoven's fifth.

In reply to: Re: One Final Effort For Piano

You mean the .mid wont work for you? It should work, it's just a basic MIDI file...

chuck vs chief's picture

In reply to: Re: One Final Effort For Piano

it wont pay on my notation player so i was wondering what kind of midi thing are u using

GAMERTAG: da chiefinator

Jonathan Churchill's picture

In reply to: Re: One Final Effort For Piano

What exactly do you mean? The MIDI file wont work? It's a general MIDI file so it should work on anything fine.

Anonymous's picture

This sounds stupid, but I can't find the access button to print/listen to it. Help?

In reply to: Re: One Final Effort For Piano

That's cool, it's hard to see at times. It's under "Attachment" (under my avatar at the top) in blue.
I put an arrow there to help ;)

I'm a bit confused...I registered and logged in, like it said, but I still can't find the links to the sheet music. Am I missing something?

yeah, you have to be a member, then it will appear next to the arrow

Just downloaded this piece and must leave my thanks for transcribing it, T'is an awesome song :)

Thought i'd let you know though, the MIDI file inside your .ZIP has no file extention, it's merely "One Final Effort (MIDI File)" Without the .mid on the end. For anyone wishing to access the file, make sure hidden file extentions are switched off (Tools -> Folder Options -> View) and add a ".mid" to the end of the file name. Works fine for me now.

Thanks again!
Dav3

In reply to: Re: One Final Effort For Piano

:O Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I wasn't aware of that, I don't know how it happened...

I added the fixed .mid to the zip attachment now so there shouldn't be anymore problems for those trying to open up the MIDI file.

Thanks again Dav3,
-Jonathan

Awesome dude I;ve been looking for this a long time! This is the one from the E3 trailer, right?

Jonathan Churchill's picture

In reply to: Re: One Final Effort For Piano

No, I believe what you're thinking of is Finish The Fight from the trailer, I'm actually almost done with a full score of that one. But there are very similar parts in both.

Frye7's picture

In reply to: Re: One Final Effort For Piano

Just so you know, there is a high E (where your right hand pinky is) during the "Duhhh Duh Duhhhhhhhhhh Duh Duhhhhhhhhh".

Here is Marty playing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1rMbTLnIbE

I'm not sure if this is the case in One Final Effort, but since you're doing Finish the Fight, I'm just making sure you include it.

Dude this is freakin sweet...........If only I could play it!!!!!!!!! Nice job!

aurion618's picture

Do you think that you might be able to add the percussion mapping?

Jonathan Churchill's picture

In reply to: Re: One Final Effort For Piano

I could, but I'm almost finished with Finish the Fight (full score) which has very similar percussion parts in it.

aurion618's picture

Hey, two questions:
1) In Finale what tool do you use to change the clef mid-measure without changing the whole measure?
2) Do you use Transcribe! for all this, or just play-it-by-ear?

Jonathan Churchill's picture

In reply to: Re: One Final Effort For Piano

If you want to change a clef mid-measure, for all I know you have to cut the measure in half (ex: 4/4 - 2/4) and make the 2/4 measure the different clef. I'm not too sure for I haven't run into this situation yet in Finale, but I'm almost positive there is a way do it without changing measure times. I'd have to mess with it a bit.

Yeah, I do all of my transcribing/arranging by ear.
