The release of this patch will be the most epic FF3/6 hack ever. I am truly looking forward to it! Another 5 years maybe?

Definitely. I'm a little worn out from doing it so much, so it will be good to have some fresh energy take over

What a pain in the arse... I finally finished Gilgamesh's theme! You can see here:

This song is HUGE bit-wise. I had to replace the "Returners" theme because it actually had the most usable bytes.
I think if I can do this song, I can hack almost any other FF song into FF3/6.

I absolutely had to code it from scratch. Once I figured out how FF6's SPC core worked, I used that to essentially re-compose a 'new' song in place of the old battle theme. I will be releasing a patch for each song once I have completed my Eternal Crystals hack.

It was helpful getting me started. My FF4 music hack is going very well. I am predicting I will get stuck getting the whole song to loop properly. If I don't figure it out, I will let you know! Thanks for all the great resources. I have big plans for my hack :)

Just an FYI, I found some very valuable FF3 US info from this document on RPG Legion. The VERY bottom of this LONG file has some great info on SPCs, BRRs, and the operators. Check it out if you're interested:

Update:
So I figured out the pattern for the notes (again focusing on the Flute track in 'The Prelude')
After the first octave drop at offset 08612A (D8), the next 2 hex digits establish the note that is played within that octave. As it stands offset 08612B is set to 9B, which is a B-3 half-note. Changing it to 9A would make it a whole note. Here is a list of the notes:
Half notes:
01 - C
oF - C# / Db
1D - D
2B - D# / Eb
39 - E
47 - F
55 - F# /Gb
63 - G
71 - G #/Ab
7F - A
8D - Bb
9B - B
A9 - C 4
B7 - Rest
Quarter Notes:
04 - C
12 - C# / Db
20 - D
2E - D# / Eb
3C - E
4A - F
58 - F# /Gb
66 - G
74 - G #/Ab
82 - A
90 - Bb
9E - B
AC - C 4
BA - Rest
Eigth Notes:
07 - C
15 - C# / Db
23 - D
31 - D# / Eb
3F - E
4D - F
5B - F# /Gb
69 - G
77 - G #/Ab
85 - A
93 - Bb
A1 - B
AF - C 4
BD - Rest

So I am trying to figure out how to re-sequence music in FF3us. I am starting by hacking "The Prelude" because it is one of the simpler pieces. Here is what I have figured out so far. PLEASE someone correct me if I have a mistake. I am new at this SPC stuff and need help. Thanks!
Prelude
(085EA0 - 08661D)
086120 (Octave set for Flute track) (default 06)
086121 - (portamento set E4)
086122 - ??? ( 0D )
086123 - Little note before first sustained note (1B)
086124 - First flute note (default 01)
086125 - notelength ? (AC)
086126 - Tempo of flute? (default - AF)
086127 - Silent Note 1 (default B1)
086128 - Silent Note 3 (defaut B3)
086129 - End Portamento (E5)
08612A - Octave down (D8)
08612B - change in note after octave shift - changes length of note too not - doesn't appear to be consistent(9B)
08612C - Octave up (D7)
08612D - change in note after octave shift - changes length of note too not - doesn't appear to be consistent(if this is changed to 9B, it will be exatly one octave higher than the previous note (default - 1D)
08612E - Octave down (D8)
08612F - Next Portamento(E4)
