If you have Sibelius I can give you something I wrote once, or if not I can just record the play back and send that to you.

I think I'll do something from 1-3, since it was one of my favorite cases. :D

No Sibelius =( A recording would be superb though. And a voice clip! I've been sent the second voice clip so far today and I'm afraid this project is going to be awesome. There's a role for everyone!

I'll start with the overture/1-1, probably +diagrams.

And here's an upload of a Sibelius playback. If anyone's not aware, Sibelius is a program that lets one input notes and compose on the computer, and then it plays back what you've typed in in a really crappy midi preview. So I recorded that preview with an even crappier recorder and got this piece of...
http://www.sendspace.com/file/65i6wy
It's a download and an MP3. Basically I got bored and made a theme song for my PW OC, so it's supposed to sound kinda video gamey...I can write stuff that's a bit more musicalish too, just nothing's recorded or on Sibelius yet.
If you don't like it I understand. xD
Here's a screenshot I took of the sheet music;

At least, I think that's what we're thinking of. I'm sure the other producers have other ideas, to be honest. XD

Oh and for the 1-1 issue, maybe if there was a short intro, such as Phoenix being nervous before his first trial. It could only be a few lines, but still. Then cut to the courtroom and dive right into the song, right where the case is about to turn around. Maybe rapid fire summary of the trial and evidence leads up to Sawhit's screw up?

Itani: We want to sum up 1-1 as quick as possible and have room for exposition too, so that sounds fantastic. Everyone can look over the scripts for fine-tuning, too, as we need people who aren't writers to look it over as well.

I would say that we should aim for a core audience of PW fans -- people who already know the series. I think it's the audience we're likely to get, for one thing, and for another, a fan project like this is really a contribution to the community; we're doing it because we love the game, and we want to share it with others who love it too. If it's good enough, it could draw in outsiders as well, but in that case it should make those people want to start playing the actual games.
If we're doing two acts, I would suggest putting the intermission right after the beginning of 1-4 for maximum effect. That is, we see Edgeworth with the gun, blackout, intermission. And for the murders at the beginning of each case, it would be cool to see it performed in shadow or behind a scrim (or, as this will be a digital production, an appropriate equivalent). But during the beginning of 1-4, right at the end there's a spotlight on Edgeworth.
The problem I'm having is overall continuity. In a musical that encompasses the whole game, that's going to be really important to justify making the whole thing one show. So we need to find the segments of each case that become important later and emphasize them, maybe even elaborating on what the game provides. The main problem for this is case 1-3. It has important elements, it's interesting, and fans will want to see it, but unfortunately its intricacies have little to do with the overall story. So it will probably need to be cut down somewhat, both for length and to ensure the show doesn't lose focus.
So are we hoping to animate it, for now? There are some things to work out there, but we'll need to have a full script and be well on our way with the audio before we start asking for people to work on the visual part. That's another thing: advertising is important, animation is important, but before we start in on those things we really need to have something concrete that we can show people. We need to stay focused on the writing aspect right now and not get carried away, or this project isn't going anywhere.
About how many songs do we want to include? Continuity in songs is, as people have mentioned, very important. Not only will we want to reprise important songs, but we might also want to include certain themes that can recur (e.g. the "unlimited" bits in Wicked). And specific songs might be written to fit together so that they could overlap in a reprise down the line.
What themes do we want to emphasize? Obviously, the friendship/rivalry between Edgeworth and Phoenix is integral to the overarcing plot; there's also Phoenix's evolution as a lawyer, themes of trust, and winning vs. finding the truth.
Finally, what tools does everyone have? I'll be on a Mac; I have Garageband, Reason, and Finale, which I know how to use fairly well, along with a couple of other programs I'm not well-versed in. How will we go about recording and assembling larger numbers with multiple vocalists?

I'm liking the ideas for core audience and intermission (ESPECIALLY the intermission, it sounds cool), and I agree with you that we need to get our script down ASAP. To the writers, try doing a bit each day, even if it's just writing a bare-bones outline one day and a few lines the next. Try and get it all done quickly, but it doesn't need to be perfect. We'll edit it, don't worry!

(Foggy and cold night; two figures are on boat in lake. light is focussed around bottom of boat and fog so the people are obscured.)
Yogi: I can't believe its been fifteen years... such a long time to wait.
Edgey: Waiting for what exactly?
Yogi: The perfect opportunity... you can't imagine how much I've suffered.
Edgey: You... suffered?
Yogi: And now, I shall finally have my revenge at last. (He pulls out his gun)
Edgey: You can't be serious about this...
Yogi:Merry Christmas... Miles Edgeworth
(All lights are cut, and two gunshots are fired, with a gap in between. The lights turn on, and Yogi falls into lake)
Edgey: Why...Why did this have to resurface?
(Spotlights shine onto Edgey, holding the gun)
Edgey:How could he... betray me like this... (Lights go off)

AH YA BEAT MEH.
That sounds great so far! Miss Prince wanted to use it before intermission, and the way you wrote it, I think we can still do that.

Now we've got a choice- basic melody for the entire show, or basic melody for the characters? It would be a bit too repetative if we had two really dominate melodies for the whole show instead of just one or a few small ones.

Edit: Just saw the last post on music. I think that a recurring melody would be fine, but maybe have the witnesses have their own short one perhaps. Through if there were a couple recurring melodies (Phoenix, Edgeworth, Gumshoe, Maya) in the show, it should still work well. A few musicals have done that before. Ex. I remember when my school put on Jesus Christ Superstar there were a lot of the same melodies. Caiaphas and Annas often sung the same melody for whatever song they were in. Wicked also had a few similar ones if I'm not mistaken. Avenue Q did as well.
The recurring may make the composing a little easier, just a thought.

I think it would be better if we animated it from scratch, but used the original animations for reference.

Besides, some people guessed Yogi was the man on the boat as soon as he appeared in the game, so we don't have to worry too much.

Ethed is the one in charge for voices, I believe. Whoever Eth picks for Yanni Yogi, they should have a wide voice range.
