Here's a question for the musically inclined...

Is there anywhere I could find the theme from L&C, written in standard musical notation - you know, a five-line staff with symbols and notes?

I don't need the whole thing, even, just the beginning would do just fine.

Thanks! laugh

Do you mean just the melody?

heh. Any of it would have been nice. The first few notes - something someone would look at, play and know it's the L&C theme. I dunno. It was an idea for a tattoo -- but since it looked like no one knew where to get that, I've started looking for something different.

Wow, that sounds like a cool tatoo Lara! Very unique. Too bad it didn't work out. Maybe you can do Batman's theme? evil

Sure thing.

Step 1: Get the song in MIDI format. A quick web search turned up this site . You can scroll down for L&C or try this direct link . If you want Batman, a quick web search brought me this list of options . Or this page has some, including the 1989 main theme (which was also used for TAS). This site has it, too . This site has something for Batman Begins (which is harder to find, since it's mostly in mp3).

Step 2: Find a MIDI editor. A quick web search turned up this one , which is free and seems flexible and good. Wiki has a list of them .

Step 3: Open the song file in the editor. Ta-Da! Instant sheet music!

If I have time, I'll try and jot it down by ear this weekend and scan it in for you. Let me know if you still want it.
