Here's some feedback. Well, first of all, I must say these are pretty nice to be your first arrangements. Congrats!

On "Reprise":
- Do you think you will be able to add the second voice and the right hand chords?
- On measure 15, you should add a ritardando.
- The right hand, from measure 17 to the end is one octave higher.

On "Introduction":
- Right hand is one octave higher until measure 9.
- All the C#'s should be Db's, and the F#, Gb.
- On measure 17 you put an unnecessary measure. The main melody starts on measure 17 already, on the second beat. That little pause is just expressive when performing the song.

Formatting on both arrangements: I'd recommend not to leave that huge gap between the title and the score, and between staves. Also, avoid including those staves (like bars 21 or 22 from "Introduction") with only two measures. It makes the score look, well, "not very clean". Also, the title and the "Arrangement by McDucky" should be in bold, and the name of the name as well as the "Unknown composer" should be in italic.

That's what I found at first look. Too bad about the composer btw, I couldn't find anything either. Hope someone does.
Looking forward to see more of your arrangements! :D

Yeah, I supposed you used another program. I don't say you shouldn't use MuseScore, but I'd recommend having Finale Notepad 2012 too, which is free, because is useful here at NSM. You can find it in Finale's official website.

I also fixed the .mus of "Introduction", hope you don't mind. :)

What stuff are you planning to arrange?
Did you buy Finale 2014 or is there a free version?

Also, you're arranging a lot of music from games I like (Long Live The Queen, Super Meat Boy, Binding of Issac), so I might actually look at this thread actively!

Are you done with the song yet, you're missing out on a lot of it.
It's in e minor, not a minor. Don't let the G# throw you off.
Rhythm Grouping on measure 4 should be an eight note tied to a sixteenth instead of a dotted eight. EDIT: Same thing in measure 1.
The first part, you're missing a lot of bass line in what you do have.

Quote from: Yugi on April 10, 2014, 09:18:49 PMHey you should make a post whenever you make an arrangement otherwise people won't know and I have to physicially remind myself to look at your arrangements.

Quote from: maelstrom. on April 16, 2014, 11:24:01 AMI'm new here, so I hope this makes sense. I'm glad you changed the E#s to F naturals, it was getting to be a pain to sight read. For simplicity's sake, would it be possible to only use sharps OR flats? Preferably sharps, because it is in the key of Em.
