in my experience, i think when that happens, they gotta have some program that picks out the notes or something and it probably defaults to c major with no sharps/flats. i have never found out if there is a program for this but i have wondered about it for a very long time, especially when ive found arrangements that are physically unplayable. rearranging a crappy arrangement is good tho, cuz if the notes are right then you can still do something with them so you can actually play it

i dont mind accidentals tho, at least as a piano player, cuz im really dumb with remembering my black keys
In this case they got the notes exactly right, they just didn't indicate in the key signature that there was a Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, and Gb. Thus every time one of those notes showed up, it was shown as an accidental. I just don't like clutter, and I like things to be easy to read.

That said, even with the right key signature, there's accidentals all over the place in music, like Death's song "Crystal Mountain." General key signature is D minor, with one flat, Bb, but there's accidentals all over the place because Chuck Schuldiner (RIP) was really influenced by jazz.

I just like things to be clear is all. :)

you can convert an audio file to MIDI format, and notation software can read MIDIs. The problem is MIDIs always look incredibly messy and are usually immediately noticeable, with impossible chords and insensible octave changes

Yep.

Except in this case, everything was right where it should be. It was really well done, which I find more annoying, because they could have taken 5 extra minutes to put in the key signature, but didn't.

Maybe this is because I'm a huge neat freak with charts, sheet music, music in general, n' sh*t.

I remember the days of fixing iTunes' mistakes because the meta data of the music I'd add to iTunes would always get screwed up.

finale for sure has an option that lets you automatically change the key signature, other programs probably have the same
meaning it takes 30 seconds max haha

I'm using Guitar Pro, and I just figure it out the old-fashioned way. :)

It's more of a small annoyance than anything, and easily rectified in 5 minutes.

I was trying to watch some My Hero Academia at 1am today when Crunchyroll stopped working. It took 30 minutes for it to load, then once it did it started freezing every 30 seconds for about 3-4 minutes at a time. I tried it again later today but it's still not working. Looks like it's just a problem with the app. I would delete it and reinstall it, but I'm using the account of a person I'm trying to avoid and don't want to have to ask for the password again. Hoping it's just a bug and it fixes itself.

I don't understand why certain personality types or certain behaviors set me off so much
when I'm talking to 99% of people about anything it's really easy to like, have a human conversation
but that 1% seems perpetually unwilling or unable to actually understand what I'm trying to communicate
it's a problem that crops up on the internet more than in real life, and when it does happen in an internet space like forums or social media, I always seem to end up being the one who gets punished for it. I've learned that using convenient block features for those special people helps a lot and I can easily see how much it helps, so I'm at least feeling glad that I know it's not entirely just a "me" issue and probably more of an "incompatible personality types intersecting" issue but
the frustrating part is how much of that 1% seems to exist in subjects that I enjoy the most like zelda, so every time I try to get into a community I feel like I get off on a bad foot because I run into one of these people that I just don't respond to well because I don't know who I should block ahead of time
and how there are some people who just never seem to make enemies
