The PDF and MIDI come from MuseScore, but I converted my MuseScore project to a Finale Notepad project and made sure it was in readable condition.

Hey, and welcome to ninsheetmusic.
Before we get started, we have a few rules.
1. Your sheet must look like this, according to the guidelines therein (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=481.0).
2. Your PDF must be made from your .mus file. There are no exceptions to this rule, nor will there ever be.
3. If you need help with formatting your sheet because Finale notepad doesn't have all the features, ask here (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=685.0)

Oh, okay. Sorry, my bad for not reading that! I'll re-export it immediately.

Okay, things should be fine now. Let me know if there's anything else I should do. Sorry again for not reading the rules, I really apologize for wasting your time.

Still not quite there, but I'm glad you responded quickly. Take a look at the formatting guidelines again. You have Pno. marks, crescendos colliding with slurs, no indent, etc. It's certainly closer, but not quite there.

Don't forget about this.

Thanks, I posted my project in that thread with the last few minor fixes that I need but can't do; will update the links here soon once that gets taken care of.

Nice work. I haven't compared it to the original yet, but here are some others things:
- There should be a "/" at the end of the url in the copyright info.
- There should be a space in between the (c) and 2017 in the copyright info.
- Go ahead and center the dynamics in M. 30 & 31. This will help it not look so messy and be more accurate.
- Put an Ab courtesy accidental on the Ab in M. 39 (LH).

I'll be back to check notes later.

Thanks, I've added these changes. I also added a bunch of missing Ebs in various spots (I didn't hear them until a friend pointed them out to me):

- M7, RH
- 12, 14, 50, 52, RH
- 16, RH
- 24, RH

Awesome! Keep up the good work. : )

Latios said he'll be able to check this one when he gets home next week, so stay tuned.

Here we go! This looks like a lot, but it's all minor things, so please don't freak out - you did a really good job with this sheet :P

- Title shouldn't have "To" capitalized.
- Intro especially could really use a "rubato" marking.
- Quarter G in m. 5 LH should be an octave higher.
- m. 9 chord needs to be rolled.
- I don't think the top LH G in m. 11 strikes again - I think it should be tied over from the previous G.
- Chord should be tied from m. 16-17.
- Last note of m. 17 LH is E, not G.
- First note of m. 34 RH should have a C under it.
- m. 37 beat 2 is missing a C in the left hand line. (Suggestion: move the E to the right hand instead.)
- m. 41-43 have some missing harmonies in the right hand.
- I'd suggest tying over the left hand from 45-47, to let it ring so there isn't a sudden absence of sound below the melody.
- F# in m. 48 should be Gb (Gbmaj7 chord)
- Grace note (C) missing at the beginning of m. 50.
- Last chord in m. 57 missing a D.
- Chord in m. 59 LH should have a G.
- m. 60 LH is missing its beat 2 chord like the previous measures, and I think beat 3 plays a C instead of overlapping the RH G.
- m. 62-63 LH is slightly off too.
- I don't hear the low octave G's in m. 66 at all - just a D above middle C for the left hand.
- m. 70/74's run had a couple notes off.
- I think there's a C in the middle chord of m. 71 as well.
- Double barline would work well between 66-67 (similar to 36-37).
- Definitely needs a dynamic change at m. 67. And again at m. 75.
- Fermata in the left hand at the end, too.

I've edited your submission with the above changes, plus some miscellaneous poking and prodding of the layout that I didn't get to finish last time. Lemme know if there are any issues!

(Super pumped to play this now ;D)

Thank you so much latios :D I'm excited too. My professor (who I'm taking VGM piano classes from next year) says he has a performance lined up for his studio in January and says I could perform this there (:

No problem! And that's really cool, let us know how that goes~

One quick thing and then it's done:
You forgot to notate where the hands collide. Generally, you just put parentheses around the "less important" note so your hands don't collide. I'd recommend doing this in m39 b4.5 and m68 b4.

Fix that and I approve.

Files updated with the above (and m. 63 as well).

This is good to go! :)
