1Consider that a single part of a single, monophonic instrument can still represent more than one voice. In particular, the octave+ jumps are suspicious! Besides that, consider if you really want to transcribe the piece literally for academic correctness, or rather arrange it for artistic effect.– user1079505Commented Dec 15, 2023 at 9:00

@user1079505 Could you clarify to me the difference between part and voice please?– Gandalf The BardCommented Dec 16, 2023 at 18:47

@user1079505 Also, I believe you are referring to the voice 1 (in blue) on the first half of measure 16. In these GameBoy songs (and other retro videogame consoles'), the composers typically had just 3 single-pitch MIDI channels and one noise channel for percussion effects. This was a typical hardware limitation of the consoles' sound chips. So sometimes we see things like voice 1 in this song, where they use the otherwise empty (with pauses) parts of the sheet and use that MIDI channel to fill up or complement the harmony. Nowadays, it would likely be written in an auxiliary sheet and voice.– Gandalf The BardCommented Dec 16, 2023 at 18:59

1As I understand the terms, "part" refers to what a single instrument plays. "Voice" refers to a coherent melody. Bach's violon solo suites often use "compound melody"; a single part plays two (or more) voices. Sometimes alternate notes belong to different melodies. The fugue in the famous d-minor pieces alternates melodic notes with a dominate pedal (hinting that fugue subject was originally composed for violin.)– ttwCommented Dec 23, 2023 at 2:32

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. electric-guitar), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
