• That weird thing in m3 would probably be better written as a staccato 8th note (with both notes) and one of those squiggly arpeggio lines. Or, alternatively, just have the top note and make the lower note a grace note.
• m15: That half note in the LH is definitely not a half note in the original.

Quote from: LeviR.star on June 14, 2020, 03:57:45 PM- I figured my best bet would be to transcribe it straight from the original, so once someone else figured a grace note would be acceptable, I could set some time aside to try and get the slash kind enabled. Thanks!

- must have been a leftover from my old PA draft that I never caught. Adjusted!

The figure in m. 10/12/14 is pretty tricky - both to execute as you wrote it, and to discern what exactly is going on in the original. I suggest the following simplification which makes it much easier to play by cutting the pitches that are already part of the melody while maintaining the harmonically important notes (also your notes are misaligned on beat 3.5). Everything else about this one looks good!

Looks great! Just one tiny thing - if you're cutting the last system short I would suggest making the spacing consistent - dragging the barlines roughly to where they are in the above systems so the measures aren't comparatively stretched out.

Mega Man - Dr. Wily Stage 2
Also just one layout comment - this could very easily fit on one page if you use 3 measures per system instead of 2. There's no crazy rhythms or anything with this one so I don't think it looks at all cramped with 3 measures to a system and it fits nicely.

My one suggestion is to increase the space between the staves in each system. Things get pretty close to each other in m1-4 and m11-12, especially since the RH goes so low, so it'd be nice to have a bit more room.

- I think this would work better in C# minor rather than Db major. It seems like the track is in a minor key with just a major chord at the end, and C# minor reduces the number of accidentals involved.
- You might also consider writing out a chromatic run in the LH in m1, since there's no clear indication of how the current glissando should be played or how high it should go.

- Did you want to add a staccato to beat 4.5 of m3 LH? (The eighth note is actually two 16th notes but a staccato'd 8th note is good too, if you want to simplify it like you've done in subsequent LH measures.)
...That's about it, I think. Everything else looks great.

Stage Select - Mega Man 6
- I assumed you simplified RH Layer 2 m5 and m7 to avoid playing fast sixteenth dyads, but here's a suggestion I would make to keep it playable but have it more closely resemble the original:

Alternatively, you could add the Layer 2 sixteenths on beat 4.5, and then parenthesize the second sixteenth note so that players who find that too challenging can skip it.

- In the LH, all Dbs should be C#s (A7 chords), and Gbs should be F#s (D7)
- Cbs should also be B naturals (B7b5)

Quote from: LeviR.star on July 11, 2020, 02:04:47 PM- if you'll be fine with the extra courtesy accidentals, then I'm okay with re-writing those notes

- Usually I'm not much of a stickler on this, but here I would recommend cutting the beams between beats 1/2 and 3/4 if the rhythm isn't all eighth notes - so here m. 13, 14, 19, 32, and to a lesser extent 24 and 32-34 as well. My reasoning at least is that most of the LH parts are split up into the 4 beats due to the rhythm and it looks a bit weird to beam the right hand together on top of that.
- In measure 29, cross-staffing might be preferable since the RH can easily take some of the notes particularly in the latter half of the measure.
(Just a side comment, if I were arranging this myself, I would write the 16th note runs in the RH so that the LH can still be preserved in the case that the performer doesn't feel comfortable tackling the runs at speed especially with the LH. But the way you wrote it is perfectly valid too :P)

Quote from: LeviR.star on August 09, 2020, 08:07:25 PM- I think I need a second opinion on this. Runs like this one can be found in several spots, and while I get what you're saying, I would like the sheet's difficulty to remain consistent throughout

Quote from: Static on September 06, 2020, 11:51:18 AM- The only thing I have to say for this one is that you should line up those LH notes with the triplets in "Initial Entry", since it's swung.

Quote from: Latios212 on December 12, 2020, 03:09:49 PMGame Start - what is this, Super Mario Bros. 3 I think the tie at the end of m. 6 in Game Start may look better facing downwards
Movement - m. 4 and 8 should be consistent with a courtesy An in the LH. You may also want to consider a courtesy D natural in m. 7 RH.
One Enemy Remaining - second RH note should be G instead of E
Time Warning - courtesy An in the RH for m. 3 would be good
Highest Score - should this one repeat? (If so, needs the pick-up notes at the end and forward repeat bar after the pickup at the beginning)

Did all of this, and updated the file.

-The midi playback has the A at the end of bar 4 being a natural (as it should be), but there's no natural sign on it.
-I think you might not like doing this in general, but double barline on the segno?

The fact that the first bar of the loop is cut out of the repeat isn't particularly nice but I guess you've got the problem of the B and D# only being played when you take the D.S rather than the normal repeat which might be a little confusing to write down.  It'd be nice to get rid of it but I don't have any particularly good ideas so I'm happy for it to stay.
