it's back!
Title info from here (https://vgmdb.net/album/133631). The OST titles aren't uploaded on youtube (this is the only channel that has uploaded the soundtrack), but I have the OST myself and found that this is the correct title.
Sorry took a bit to get around to this one, but it turned out to be somewhat easier to follow than expected given how repetitive the form is, so it's a straight approval for me.
Seems to me though it should be "Rain Code" not "RAIN CODE" for the title. Wikipedia seems to say latter and the VGMdb link also says "Master Detective Archives: Rain Code"
Awesome, thanks!

The title on the Nintendo site (https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/master-detective-archives-rain-code-switch/) and the developer site (https://www.spike-chunsoft.co.jp/pages/raincode/en/) stylize it as RAIN CODE though, so I'm not really sure what the best source is in that regard?
Okay! I am in agreement now
It's wild to me that this song is so long and so repetitive and yet doesn't seem to actually have any places where 1st and second endings would work. (Not expecting you to find any; I've looked and see nothing, hence my surprise)
YT link is broken, so I'll just put this here (cuz it's what I'm using): https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/master-detective-archives-rain-code-original-soundtrack-2023
m102 b1.5 LH - I hear a D, not an E
- idk if this is just a different source thing or soundtrack vs in-game or what, but in the khinsider soundtrack, after the repeat it branches off after m32 to a different measure (not 33).
- Also, in m19, 23, (basically everything +- 4 though some places it's quieter), on b3 I seem to hear a restrike of the middle note from the chord on b2. Did you leave those out for playability/unclashingness?
It's an interesting, spacey song like the inside of pipes in Super Mario Galaxy
Quite a calming but melancholy feeling tune! Feels meditative lol
I was also using the version on khinsider to listen, so I don't know if it was any different in the youtube upload.
- The tempo is a bit fast, I'm getting half note = 69
- b4 of m33-m34 rh (the 8va) - I'm hearing this entire line down a perfect 4th. Same with 41-42.

I believe this is a special coda just for the soundtrack release, I'd say it's up to Bloop if they wanna include it or not

I am hearing this as it's written currently.

Ah yeah I think this didn't exist yet when I uploaded it, thanks!

I think it's actually both? It's possible that this occurs throughout the whole song, although not as noticeable sometimes. I'll change it to a D though, so it's consistent with all other measures.

Oh yeah, I didn't notice at first actually, when I noticed the piece repeated I just put the D.C. mark there and called it a day haha, didn't check if there was an ending or not. Like jas said, it's most likely a coda for the soundtrack, but I usually add those in my arrangements anyways, so consider it added!

I find it a little bit hard to hear, but if I listen closely there seems to be a bit of an 8th note delay effect on the chord on beat 2, which is what you might be hearing in beat 3? I think I'll leave it out tho, as this dyad is part of the 'melody' (the wavy synth that starts off each measure)

Fixed these!
Updated the files, thanks both for taking a look!
Alright, it's looking good to me! I'll accept!
