The Starbound Music Guide (Updated for Starbound Composer)

Can you post the notation you're talking about?

 

This guide is amazing ^.^

 

The guide has been updated to use the Starbound Composer. Since it is continuously updated this guide will recommend using it for the foreseeable future. As is such, if any notable features are added I will update the guide with said information.

 

I started using Starbound composer so my songs work now, not sure what the change really was but I am not complaining...

 

Page down?

 

I know this thread has not been replied to for more than 90 days and it's bad to necropost so forgive me... I have no idea otherwise where else to post my collection of songs to add to the bigger archive of Starbound user songs. Here, I'll share what I've got up with SBC.

 

Don't worry about necroposting, it's only bad if it's a topic that doesn't need bringing up again, or if you post something that adds nothing to the discussion. c:

 

Since starbards isn't online I added your pack to the reserved section. In the future if someone wants to post songs here please message me directly since this thread is mainly about getting help with abc files and the starbound music system in general.

This thread is stickied so "necroposting" isn't that big of an issue.

 

Sorry for the necro, but where can I obtain the Starbound Composer? Currently trying to download it form the linked page just leads to a 404 error.

 

The downloads are in the direct links section on the page but I'll put them here as well.

Windows - Installer
Windows - Archive
Linux 32-bit
Linux 64-bit
Mac OS X

 

Anyone else having an issue with Starbound Composer having no instruments since the most recent patch?

 

Yep, it's got to do with how the recent stable updates changed where the instrument files are located; since Starbound Composer takes it directly from Starbound itself, and the Composer apparently hasn't been updated since March of '14 (though I may be wrong on that count, since the files are hosted elsewhere,) it needs an update if it's going to continue to work. Or else we need to find a different path to use in the Tools->Preferences menu.

No luck on that so far, I might add.

EDIT: seems I was wrong about it being updated (no surprise there) but I'm not sure why it's working for some and not others of us.

 

I installed it fresh and it works fine for me. No clue what the trouble might be.

 

So we just need to wait for a solution by the development team of Starbound Composer? Your explanation seems sound as the program won't load up any instruments for me too. It's completely mute.
I tried to relocate my Starbound folder through the Preference options but seeing that the actual instrument files have been relocated since the big update, I find no way to fix it without going into the program's inner structure.
I use Win8 64bit so maybe the OS is part of the reason why some of us have no issues so far? I don't know it other than the fact that I want to put in my favourite tunes into this game as soon as possible.

 

Yeah this is great and all, but there's one thing that's probably the most important thing that everyone here is forgetting. How the hell do I add my own notes to the song when you start off with a blank slate?
