Thanks for taking a look, sorry for the delayed response! And, sorry, I misunderstood what you meant for the tremolos in m15-17. I tried out what you were thinking and found those tremolos quite awkward to play in that spot. I think a trill is easier to play and gives a similar impression (when executed with the dynamics you notated). Does that work? Also, I added the slur to m32!

Why don't I remember this track despite definitely playing Wii Play? ;-; It's so cool and so evocative of the era. Sounds like something from MKDS which makes total sense given the composer...

It's not a big deal but still seems like playback is treating this pickup as a 4 bar measure. Just is a weird playback delay.

Hasn't this always been the case with pickup measures in Finale? Not that it's necessarily desirable.

Other feedback before I finish up, this looks really good. Nice work keeping the left hand in pretty narrow ranges to make playing easier
- The rolled chord at the end of m. 8 sounds to me like it actually falls on beat 1 of m. 9 instead
- Conversely, it does feel like the first note of the 16th run in m. 15 is actually held over from a strike at the end of m. 14!
- I think the last LH note in m. 9 is actually a Bb instead of a D, but I guess I'm fine leaving it as a D to keep the fingering simple? Wasn't sure if that was intentional
- I don't think the ties in m. 12 LH beat 1.5 are needed since the pedal is already here to sustain notes
- The A octave in m. 18 beat 2.5 sounds an octave lower - e.g. the melody dips down here instead of up
- I'm not sure I hear the first RH G in m. 19... it isn't as present as the other notes. I think I hear an Ab in the harmony here, does that sound too weird? vs. just keeping the G or maybe just omitting the RH here

Ah yeah, so it's just about the G and Bb in m6 then. I'd prefer keeping them lower as to have them consistent throughout the sheet (as I can't move them up as comfortably in m10 and in m31 for example), so that the player doesn't have to slightly change the accompaniment every two bars or so, and so that the arrangement sounds a bit more cohesive (i suppose it's a small detail but still)

My only comment is from listening to m18, it sounds tonally more like E minor. So I'm hearing En instead of Eb, and Fn instead of Fn. I think then do Gn and An instead of Ab and Cn? May want to play around with this but tonally it sounds off currently.

for 3 and 4 I hear what you are saying. Demo 3 I just went along with it since it sounded all short. However I misunderstood marcato with stacatissimo. (articulations I don't use often). I would say it sounds more like stacatissimo than marcato, I was reluctant to use stacatissimo because I prefer not to use those kinds of strikes especially if it is an octave on the left. But if here at NSM it is more of what is heard than preferable, I'll go along with it this time so we can put this discourse to rest.

Gah, my apologies. When I described a marcato, I meant a portato. Need to brush up on my Italian music terms apparently. Portato is that staccato + tenuto marking, and is longer sounding than staccato but shorter than an actual tenuto. Let me know if that changes your thinking.

I don't hear any of demo 5 as short as a stacatisso, all stacato

Yes but my point here was there were not any articulation markings of any kind previously.

i won't disagree, but I want my arrangement to not use those gymnastics.

😂 okay, it's really not that crazy (see end of m44 going into m45), will leave for the next updater to make a determination if they desire but I guess I'm fine.

I'm not sure how the Eb sounds good in that chord, unless you are hearing something similar to what Bespinben has for Demo 1. Though I don't want a 5 note chord.

Oh no I wasn't saying you had to emulate that. The Eb would be in the LH, and I would say that the Eb is more audible than an Fn for the LH part to me. So you honestly could go with Eb and Ab in the LH, if you so hear.

I'd say that m30 -31 should all be the same notes, just like Demo 2's m4-5

No, these chords are not the same between both tracks. m30-31 is an Ab7 chord, and Demo 2 m4-5 is a Bb Flat 7. So Eb is a third of that m30-31 chord, and is not of the earlier one. Lmk if more explanation needed to parse this out.

[looks good]

Going off what we discussed I'd prefer to keep this as is, to better allow for counting

It's not a big deal but still seems like playback is treating this pickup as a 4 bar measure. Just is a weird playback delay.

Fixed too, but I really don't like how these measures aren't identical...

I blame Koji Kondo

Wii Play looks good!
