This sheet is missing the snowy version because I'm having trouble figuring out how a pianist could play up in the glockenspiel's range. Let me know what your ideas are! :D
Yay more ACNH stuff :3
Regular
- why 4/4 with a half note tempo marking?
- some notes sound like they shouldn't be staccato'd. since most of them are repeating, the ones I have in mind are:
- m1/5/13/etc. beat 2
- m2 beat 4.5
- m12/30 LH no staccatos in either notes
- m37 beat 4
- m9/23/27 beat 1.5 sounds like it should be a dotted quarter note instead
- every measure with a dotted half note chord followed by a quarter note chord sounds like they should be separated; I recommend just changing the dotted half notes to half notes + quarter rests
- m11 LH should be raised an octave, and maybe you could still add a C in the RH but it's understandable if you want to omit that
- m12 RH missing F
- m13/31 RH there's a missing G in that chord below the C that the LH could play if you want to include it
- m14/32 LH to get the full guitar chord you could add octaves here
- m15/33 RH missing F natural in the last chord (and Bb too but that's a larger gap)
- m20 LH the eighth notes should be A-B-F instead of B-C-F
- m22 LH sounds like C instead of C#
- m30 should be C-C# instead of C#-D just like m12
- m31 LH copy/paste error, beat 4 should be an A too but an octave lower
- m35 RH missing D in that chord (in the middle)
- m36 beat 4/m37 beat 1 LH should be G-A instead of A-B
Rainy
the same feedback generally goes for the Rainy version, but there are a few extra things:
- in this one you can actually include the Bb in the last chord of m53/71
- m56 LH copy/paste error presumably, it actually is playing something (which is the same thing as m50)
- m69 LH beats 3 and 4 sound like C-A instead of A-B
- m74 beat 4 should be G-G# (eighth notes, no staccatos) and m75 beat 1 should be A
- m75 beat 4 shouldn't have a grace note
Snowy
Hmm, you could just write a note saying to play the rainy version up an octave, or you could have the LH take more of the chords and raise the melody up an octave whenever the glockenspiel plays. The only difference between the snowy and rainy versions aside from instrumentation seems to be m65. Here's an example of how you can transform the Rainy part to Snowy:

First of all, thanks for including the rainy and snowy variations. Many AC sheets we have right now don't have them, but it really should be the standard.
I don't have much else to say:
- The key should be D major technically.
- m20: The music shouldn't go below where the copyright text starts, so maybe decrease the spacing a bit between systems.
- m36 LH beat 4: This should be 2 8th notes (G and G#).
- m38 LH beat 3-4: I would add some extra grace notes or something here to approximate the original bass part instead of just a half note.
- If you are going to include the extra Snowy differences that Zeila pointed out, then make a separate section just for the Snowy variation.
- If you aren't going to include the Snowy version in its own section, then change "Rainy" to "Rainy/Snowy", and insert a page break or something, or start it on a new system, just anything to fill out page 4. It's generally not desirable to just have pages partially filled, especially if its just one or two lines.
- Titles/page numbers are outside the margins.
Here is a bump for you
Here is another bump for you.
I apologize for the lack of activity in the last few months. I have been having computer issues running Finale, and also with my university semester starting a couple months ago I have had minimal time. I will try to get those changes in as soon as I can get Finale working again!
Hello! I finally got around to making those edits to this sheet (sorry it took so long!). The only one I was confused about was fitting the page numbers into the margin, how should I go about doing that? Thanks! :D
You can refer to this topic here! (the second part) https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/index.php?topic=10719.0 (https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/index.php?topic=10719.0)
Just made that fix, thanks! :)
Also, I was thinking about putting in some of those hi-hat fills as "X" noteheads in places like measures 17 and 18 and put a note that says something like, "tap the side of the piano". Is that something that would be appropriate for an arrangement like this? Thanks!

Yeah, definitely. I've done that more than a few times on my sheets. Check out this (https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/download/pdf/1514) and this (https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/download/pdf/108) for some examples if you want. There's not really any rules on how you should write out percussion parts, just do what you think makes the most sense.
The only other thing I have to say is that the grace notes in m25/37/63 should be written as sharps like you have elsewhere in the sheet. Looks great otherwise.
Thanks! Just made that fix :)
Looks good, I approve
- Staccatos should be centered around the noteheads rather than the stems
- m. 11 LH should have a Cn above the F#
- In the rolled chord from m. 15-16, how about adding a Bb below? It's not part of the initially rolled chord but the harmony is underneath there and it fills out the chord a bit better. Same for 33. (It looks like you included that Bb in the other variations :P)
- I'd suggest unbeaming beats 3-4 in places like m. 20, 21. Same for those places in the other variations
- I don't hear the percussive parts in the rainy or snowy version
- Some of the LH eighth notes sound straight rather than swung to me. These include m. 2 beat 4 and m. 9 beat 1, among others (maybe m. 4 beat 3?). Could you give them a check?
- Subsequent page headers are too high

I think this is a bit misleading though - the note starts on and sustains a Fn for at least a quarter note before bending up and down a bit to the F#.
I think I got all those taken care of. As far as the bass in m.38, I removed the grace note for now, as it's pretty hard to emulate the bass slide sound, however I'm open to any ideas for that particular part!
Thanks! :)
Cool! Last few things to polish up:
- The slur and staccato are clashing in m. 7/25/45/63/83/101
- Slur can be flattened a bit in m. 16/54/92
- Make sure the 2's around the duplets have enough space and aren't too close to the staccato - m. 78 (actually you can just put the staccato above the notehead here), 85, 103.
- Beat 4 misaligned in m. 103 LH

They're at the correct height now, but the music is too close to the headers :) slightly reduce the space between systems and move them down to give the header more breathing room - the spacing will look more natural.

Yeah, I think this is fine as a single note but I think it would make more sense as a Fn since that's what it starts on and sustains for at least a beat. What do you think?
I made all those changes except for the space between the systems. For some reason every time I try to change the system space for the score it messes up the formatting of the entire sheet and I'm not entirely sure why this is. Can you clarify how I should go about doing this? Thanks! :)
Hm, I'm not sure what your issue is but I can recommend how I normally go about it:
First, using the Page Layout Tool, right click the box for a system and choose Edit Margins, then fiddle with these numbers to set the same margins for all of the systems after page 1:

Then, if you need to make further small adjustments (based on if there's a lot of stuff above/below the staff for certain systems) you can use the Staff Tool to drag individual systems up and down:

Thanks! Not sure why it was going wrong before but this worked out fine :D
You're welcome! Looks good now, accepting :D
