- Seems like m1 should be the same as m3/5/7/etc. but for some reason it's different
- I'm hearing a very different rhythm in the bass from m5-11 and m13-19 (and from m29 onward). Is what you have an intentional simplification/modification? The rests you have on beat 4 every other measure feel a bit out of place.
- m21 LH beat 1 sounds like G (eighth) - D (sixteenth) - low G (sixteenth), instead of dotted eighth - sixteenth.
- m25 LH beats 1-2 sound like G (eighth) - low G (eighth) - low G (eighth) - low G (eighth tied to beat 3).
- In m22/24/26/28 LH beats 1-2, I don't think the bass actually jumps up an octave; I think something else is just doubling the notes on top of the bass there. (same for m54/56/58/etc.)
- m24 and m28 LH beat 2.5 sounds like an F instead of a C. (same for m56/60/etc.)
- m45-47 and m49-51 LH beat 4 sounds like 8th-16th-16th (G-F-G) instead of dotted 8th - 16th.
- m48 LH beat 4 sounds like a G instead of an F.
- m53 LH beat 1 sounds like G (dotted eighth) - D (sixteenth).
- m57 and m65 LH beats 1.75 and 2 sound like they shouldn't be tied.
- Is there any particular reason m64 RH beat 1.75 doesn't have a second note under the melody?
- RH pickup to m71 sounds like two consecutive sixteenths (i.e. an extra 16th on m70 beat 4.5 where you have a rest).
- Sounds like there might be some extra harmonies under the melody in m85-92 RH (i.e. following the same rhythm as the melody), although they're kind of hard to hear.
- Did you want to use an 8vb for pages 7 and 8? Seems strange not to use one considering that the LH there goes just as low as m21-28 does.

That's because it is different, only in that measure. Even slowed down and at a higher octave, that one G sounds like it should be in the upper octave instead.

What I have is a transcription of the bass part, with the exception of the 16th notes on beat 2 (those come from the guitar), and also added 5ths to match up with the guitar. I added an extra note on beat 4 of those measures.

Hm, maybe, listening again makes me think the Bb doesn't really show up in the bass at all. I kinda like the sound that it has though, since the Bb doesn't come up very often in this part. I think I'll keep it as is.

I don't hear this.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on July 25, 2020, 11:53:07 AM- m53 LH beat 1 sounds like G (dotted eighth) - D (sixteenth).
I actually hear this as just 2 8th notes, but fixed.

The LH part.

The instrument sounds like it would have harmonies cuz of the breathiness, but there aren't actually any as far as I can tell.
Everything else has been fixed accordingly.

Hm, the notes in m1 sound the same as the notes in m3 to me, even slowed down and transposed up/down an octave.
Quote from: Static on July 28, 2020, 02:45:43 PMI added an extra note on beat 4 of those measures.
This also needs to be added to m29-34.

I was thinking about maybe bringing the Bb down an octave. If you like the octave it's currently in, then that's good too.

I'm still hearing it as dotted 8th - 16th. I think the 8th-note rhythm you're hearing might be coming from the percussion on beat 1.5.
Aside from the change in m29-34, I
approve as long as a third person can provide their input on whether they hear the following things:

- m45-47 and m49-51 LH beat 4 sounds like 8th-16th-16th (G-F-G) instead of dotted 8th - 16th.
- m53 LH beat 1 sounds like G (dotted eighth) - D (sixteenth).
I hear the G in the lower octave in m1 .....
For m45+, I was able to hear the b4.5 16th note, but was not able to discern what not it was playing at all until m49. In that measure and m51, I heard the F as MSF described. However, I heard the 16th as a G in m50. Hope this helps.
I hear what static has for m53 LH.
Otherwise, it sounds and looks fine.

Fixed.

Done.

I actually hear it how msf had it now, with the F in 45-47, but I also hear it in 49-50 with the F too. I don't hear it in 51.
I'll take it. If MSF is fine with this, then I'll accept.
Took another listen—I hear it the way Static has it now, except I actually don't hear the F in m49. What do you think?
In m1, I still hear the F on beat 3.5 an octave down very clearly. @Mael what about you?
In the end, I'm happy to go with whatever.
I hear the F as written. this was discussed overdiscord, so i have MSF's approval to accept, which I shall
