| TIPS
+-------------------------------------------------------+
>> A dance for two
There is a duo version or a solo version of this song. It can also become a nice trio combining it with the rhythm Triplets.
>>Ad libertatem
You can play it as duet; in that case exclude the drum. In case you use it, the drum part MUST be started at the same time of the other parts.
>>Bards Association March
You can play this duet as a solo, using only the lute part.
>>Chaaran order
You can play it as duet; in that case exclude the drum. In case you use it, the drum part MUST be started at the same time of the other parts.
>>Eriz the wanderer
You can play it solo by using the first score. You could also play it as a trio by adding the rythm jumpy.
>> Friends
You can also make it a duet, combining it with the rhythm Triplets.
>> Hence you dance
If you are planning to play at a party, this can be a good song for you. You can play it along with "Othar Key" and "Once you got to lose". If you want to turn it into a duo just combine it with rhythm Upbeat.
>> House DeFaye
You can play it as a duet, combining it with the rhythm Straight. Note: even if the scores shows the tempo as 3/4, it's a 4/4. If you want to play this song along with drums you must play the drums at 2/3 speed (Example: since the original speed of the song is 180, you must play the drum at 120 speed).
>> Kfar
You can also make it a duet, combining it with the rhythm Triplets.
>> Kleembo
Works well also as a trio; in that case exclude the tambourine. It could also work as a duo, with lute and flute.
>>Once you got to lose
Check "Hence you dance" for details.
>> On the drifter
This piece can also be played solo. In that case i suggest to use the lute. If you wish to try it duo, just remember that the main melody is handled by the flute, so the suggestion is to combine the flute with lute or lira. It can also be used for a quartet, combined with the rhythm Straight.
>>Othar key
Check "Hence you dance" for details.
>>Rhythms
If you are going to play drums or tambourine using the "rhythms" collection (Straight,Upbeat,Jumpy and Triplets) keep in mind you can always sync to the music while it's already going; just remember to ask for the exact speed to your fellow musicians. As a general rule you can always use a rhythm Straight on a 4/4 song and you can use a rhythm Triplets on a 3/4 song. Also remember that you will have to stop the score manually once the song is finished.
>> Singles Nights
You can also make it a duet, combining it with the rhythm Triplets.
>> Step in
You can also play it slower, the mood changes but the song remains enjoyable.
>> The flea
You can play it as a duet with a flute; in that case the flute must enter at the beginning of the refrain and you'll have to stop and start again at every turn. You will need an exact copy of the score for the flute. Perfect combined with rhythm Jumpy.
>> The way of the hammer
The drum part MUST be started at the same time of the lute part. Note: even if the scores shows the tempo as 3/4, it's a 4/4.
>> Windy
You can also use this song as a flute duet.
>> Xuze Kraesan
You can also make it a duet, combining it with the rhythm Straight.

| COMMON QUESTIONS
+-------------------------------------------------------+
Q: Why your scores are so expensive?
A: It's a very hard work to invent, create and make copies of a song.
Q: How do I get the instruments?
A: At Hydlaa east (close to Jayose's library) you can buy Drum and Lira, while at Gugrontid (close to the tavern) you can buy the Lute. [flute it's obtainable only through quest and tambourine only through GM events.]
Q: Can i play a song if my skill level is lower then required?
A: Of course. The tolerance varies from song to song, but as a general rule you can. Just consider that the song will go slower and sometimes this can affect the sound.
Q: How do i synchronize with others when performing duets and trios?
A: Normally one of the musicians jumps three times and everybody starts to play when the feet touch the ground on the third jump. synchronizing can be tricky so be patient and eventually you will get it right.
Q: And for quartets?
A: synchronizing trios it's hard, but doing it for quartets it's almost impossible, that's why i normally don't compose quartets. Yes, i made Kleembo, but it can be started as a trio and then fit in the tambourine part once the song is playing (check below).
Q: How do I synchronize drum or tambourine?
A: Drums are versatile so you can sync by jumping, as usual or just sync by ear [in that case you'll have to compensate the lag/ping by starting a bit earlier].
Q: [When I play the score the game keeps crashing... why?]
A: [This can depend on a few things. Some songs used to crash in the old Red Crystal Den, so it may be a bug related to the place you are in. Most normally scores crashes when there are empty measures (in that case it can be fixed by the one who has the original file) or when there are invalid notes (that may happen if you use a score improperly, for example if you use a lira to play a song made only for lute).]
Q: [I stopped the score but the music is still playing... how can it be?]
A: [This is a known PS bug that triggers when you close the scroll (or when you open another scroll) while playing, before hitting the "stop" button. The music keeps going only for you as other people cannot hear it. To solve the bug just go away from the spot you are until the music fades off, then come back and the music will be gone.]
Q: [In the flute scores the F sounds as a F#... WHY?!]
A: [This is a known PS bug. I personally hope they'll never fix it or i'll have to rewrite all the flute scores!]
Q: I have more questions that are not shown here.... now what?
A: Please contact me. I'll be happy to help.
