| Mar 28, 2018 at 20:03 | comment | added | Dom Mod | It also doesn't make it a good example to use in a meta discussion like this. This specific question is in an area the site typically doesn't get into so it's up in the air (and I'd lean towards off-topic). If I were a normal user I'd probably flag it to put it in the review queue so the community could directly review it. Either way, using X is on-topic to justify a completely unrelated question is pushing the logic too far as so many things are taken out of context. | |
| Mar 28, 2018 at 20:02 | comment | added | Нет войне | "And popular search does not mean something would be on topic here " - sure, but here we're discussing (amongst other things) what the on-topic rules could actually be. | |
| Mar 28, 2018 at 19:59 | comment | added | Нет войне | @Dom I've removed mention of that particular question, as it seems a distraction. Nevertheless, while I fully agree that while an old question might be open and not adhere to our current on-topic rules, I think it's pushing the logic too far to suggest that an open asked a week ago here hasn't been assessed by a number of the site's regular users as on-topic. | |
| Mar 28, 2018 at 19:54 | comment | added | Dom Mod | And popular search does not mean something would be on topic here which I think is something that is really not true at all regardless of example... | |

| Mar 28, 2018 at 19:50 | comment | added | Dom Mod | Again, please don't base "on-topic" as being open. This causes a lot of trouble and misunderstandings. I will mention again that we still don't have a lot of users in the queues so a lot of things slip by. | |
| Mar 28, 2018 at 19:47 | comment | added | Нет войне | @Dom 'good' is subjective, but it being both open and recent does imply it is on-topic according to our current assessment. If it gets closed I can swap in another question that makes the same point. | |
| Mar 28, 2018 at 19:44 | comment | added | Dom Mod | I also don't think Iannis Xenakis math question is very good in and of itself nor does it make sense for the site so using it as an argument in this answer is misleading along the "just because it's open does not mean it's a good on topic question" thought. | |
| Mar 28, 2018 at 19:32 | comment | added | Dom Mod | @jjswin a transcription is not the same thing as a roman numeral analysis or giving a key. You need to have some kind of transcription (whether written or mental via auditory ) before that can be done. The examples on the site are "fare use", but getting questions like "Transcribe X for me" are definitely not in fare use and can very much cause issues since you are going around the means to legally obtain the scores which are a product. | |
| Mar 28, 2018 at 18:35 | comment | added | jjswin | I think the legality aspect is an overplayed risk: giving roman numerals and key on a site like this is not going to result in lawsuits. Agree teach a man to fish; tell me what the chords are AND say how you worked it out. I'll learn for next time; that would be a friendly AND productive approach. There would also be no replication of this transcription as there's barely any Kylie transcripts available online. Also, in this instance, I wasn't asking for stave-notation (not sure what the technical term of that is!) Thanks again | |
