Seeing as the below is the official OST title, it is expedient that you update the title of your submission.

Woo change the NinSheetMusic URL to ze new one.
Nice Job!
I have a few things:
- It is actually in 6/8 at 65 BPM (Dotted Quarter Note = 65). It has that 2/4 feel and has those triplets everywhere. So you'll have to cut everything in half. Example: Make the half notes Quarters etc.
-The URL info is incorrect. It should be "Cellar Door Games (c) 2013" Traditionally, you put the developer & publisher. If I'm wrong, someone correct me. Also the url is http://www.NinSheetMusic.org/
Other then that, excellent work!
I updated the score, title and footer.
Ok:
Here is what it should be. This is just an example

Up to measure 19 is what you have and measure 20 onward is what it should be. I didn't do it all so you can learn :p
Thank you!
I redid it in 6/8 now
Ok. Unfortunately, you don't have it correct. Did you look at my template?

Oops, better?
I noticed that in m. 11-18, you (and MLF) opted to double the melody on octaves, but there's more to that section than just that. Listen to track, and you'll notice that there's actually a ROUND occurring in these measures, the two melodies separated by 1 beat. I think the most practical way to execute this would be to write the "echoed" voice of the round in the LH as a second layer.
One small thing I noticed: there are actually 3 chords, not 2, before the melody begins. You could use a pickup measure for the first chord.

How's this?

You got the notes. Now, make them playable.

(Either/Or, really, as long as you
aren't doing both in the SAME HAND)
Also measure 12, beat 4: make the RH notes alined. The higher layer in the RH is a bit too much to the right and thereby not being alined with the lower layer or the LH.

Oh.
I merged the "echo" with the LH. It's
playable. I'm not sure about how multi-layered notes should be stylized though...

Nicely done! However, it seems you put the echo as the RH upper voice, when it should be the other way around. Granted I did say "either/or" in the previous post, but YOU said you merged it to the LH (and yet was not), so I assume THIS was your true intention:

There were a couple other things, such as more "drone measures" that were missing, such as immediately before the Round section and at the very end of the loop. You'll also notice I re-wrote the D minor chords in the RH as grace notes, as this better reflects the fact the OST did not sustain these notes into the principal tone.

Actually I think I meant to say I merged the first round with the LH, but looking at it now, I prefer the echo in the LH.
Thank you for putting up with me. I've really learned quite a bit (and realised that I should pay more attention)

Always is worth it! I'd much rather put the time in to helping you learn to fish than just catching a fish for you.
