18: I use this symbol only when there are more than one hold in a row. Each of these symbols is held for 1 count, so if there are 3 in a row, you’d hold the note before the first hold (18) for 3 counts.

19: Same as above, but does not have another hold after it, therefore after the count you stop blowing and take a breath (as long as a 21 is after this symbol).

Zelda – Song of Time: Yeah, that was the first one I ever did and hadn’t developed the fingering rules at that time. One day I hope to take the time to re-transcribe it and add a few more.

omg thanks but i dont get notes
18: Hold note for about one count and then move into the next hold. whats the next hold.
19: Hold note for about one count and let fade out, should be followed by 21. What how do you go to next note without making a wired noise.

thanks so much! these are some awesome songs. Another cool one that you could add might be Tapion’s Theme.

You might not be in the correct “mode”. Click on the little icon in the bottom-center of the screen and adjust the mode to match the one I’ve specified on my sheet music. Otherwise, many of the songs will play the wrong note, even though the fingerings are correct.

If this doesn’t correct the issue, you’re welcome to leave additional comments, or follow the link to the Smule forums and look for more info there.

I’ve been looking at some of the sheet musics, and there’s something a bout 6,8,9, and 0. i look at it, and try it out, but it doesn’t sound anything like it!!!! when i see something like 89, I hold down both keys on the left, then my right finger plays the one closer to me. is that how it’s supposed to be? or am I doing it wrong? ALSO, i know im doing this on some random thing.

Thanks for such a quick response! I’ll have a look for that article and if I find it I’ll post a link.

It is not possible to play certain songs in certain modes. Ionian is essentially “Do, Re, Mi, etc.” Zeldarian, on the other hand, is designed to mimic the notes used to play songs from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. There’s a really interesting article I found about the key that was used to compose the game, but I can’t remember the Google search terms I used to find it.
