Hello! Unfortunately I don't have much free time nowadays so I'll just try to summarize in a comment, and feel free to reply back if you have further questions: (also i think youtube doesnt like when too many links are posted in a comment bc of spam risks, so ill try to quote the name of a site / search term so it can be easily searchable online) I've been mainly using sheet music that other people have made for homestuck tracks (there's an archive called "MSPA Sheet Music Index" that hasn't been updated in a while so some of the links are broken but there's still a decent amount of functioning ones), but there's also usually results if you just search up the title of the homestuck track + "sheet music". I've been using having each line of the music correspond to a different "track" of noteblocks in the minecraft world, and just sorta putting each note in by hand. (I'm pretty sure there's some programs that will make it easier to make these noteblock tracks rather than by hand, but something that helped me was the "Visual Note Block Pitch" resource pack that can be found on the Vanilla Tweaks website under the "Utility" tab, so instead of hearing by ear, you can also visually see what note the noteblock is set to) For the redstone, I just used a mix of redstone dust and repeaters, where each tick of the repeater will increase the time between each note played, and since each tick's length in the minecraft world can be adjusted using a "/gamerule" command, you can adjust how fast consecutive sounds can be played. For the noteblocks and the sounds themselves, I mainly look at the wiki to find a sound that fits most with the vibe I'm going for, and if the sheet music goes into an octave the noteblock sound can't reach, I just shift it down into an octave the noteblock actually can play at. This means that you may have to take some musical liberties in making it sound right, which without some musical experience, might be a bit difficult (unfortunately I'm not sure how to teach someone that though :( ) Since the noteblocks change sound depending on the block below it, I set up the tracks in rows of 3, both to make it look nice and that when a noteblock it hit with a redstone signal, it will also trigger the two noteblocks to the left and right of the one being hit with the signal, which makes it possible to create 3-note chords with one line. One additional thing to consider is that noteblocks can sound fainter the farther away it is from a player (thought I believe there are some mods that make it so more sounds can be loaded and be louder when in a world? Not sure which ones though) I'd also suggest looking at other noteblock cover videos for ideas bc I've seen people create HUGE ones that are also in a track like system, and I've also seen people make more compact ones that go up/down in a spiral, so I'm not sure which one would fit your project better) So, um, hopefully this helps! Feel free to reply to this comment if you have more questions or clarifications :D
@@Schellis In depth, concise, and easy to understand instructions, thanks a million for this and you are freaking awesome, I'll pretty much be archiving the entire build on this yt account and i'll definitely make a video dedicated to you and this (eventually haha), Thanks again and have an amazing day!!
