This has been sitting in my files for some time, and every once in a while I open it, edit a couple notes, and close it again. I'm fully aware that it's sub-par, so if somebody would like to put their name in as a collaboration, I'm perfectly fine with that. Mostly, I just think the one on the site needs to go.
If this is the wrong way to go about this, let me know and I'll move to a new topic.
I was thinking of replacing it soon as well, so I'm willing to collaborate with you. I already have two versions (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tftkpj7426pagfg/AABS5IlqfLhSVeYYsW5_guSga?dl=0) of it, so we can combine one of them with yours if you'd like. If not then here's some advice:
- I think some of the bass notes are wrong (particularly m45-50, but it might be on other spots as well)
- While the song repeats with the bass playing, it starts off at the beginning again. Just letting you know
- The song would benefit if you added percussion in the beginning
- Some accents would be good too
- There should be a crescendo from m45-52
- The grace notes should have slurs
- In m72, I don't think that should be a grace note
I made a mus where I updated the formatting as well as some small editing, mostly moving some chords up 1 octave, they sound to muddy that far down in the bass register.

I've been waiting forever for a good sheet of this song
Soon (tm)

Molte grazie. I may mess with formatting again.

It looks like Tobbeh fixed that. Thanks, again.

I just listened to it again; it does not. The repeat goes back to when the bass is first introduced. Unless the video I provided does not accurately depict how the music is played in the game.

I never got around to cleaning up articulations and adding dynamics. Got some of it, still gotta add dynamic changes and claps.

There are a couple spots a 16th note might be more accurate. I've changed that one, and I'll scan through again at some point to change graces to 16ths.
I used a few of your chords and such. I haven't changed the left hand to eighth notes yet, but if it doesn't sound too muddled I probably will. I also might add your right hand second layer in to parts that feel empty. You're name has been added for collaboration. Double Z's. Tanks for halps.
Updated.

What I meant is that it repeats through the entire song with the bass. When it gets to around m25/26, it's different. The video you linked is different than the one I looked at (I originally had it repeat where the bass is introduced as well), so I left it the way it is for now. I'm not sure which one is more accurate. Here's the youtube video to show you what I mean:

I added some articulation and dynamics, but not much. I also left it as grace notes for now

Cool, thanks! I looked at it more and updated the files with some stuff
- Added an expression, changed the stem direction of the grace notes, and added a grace note in m14 (and it's counterpart)
- Added some clapping in the beginning
- You were missing an F in m12 (beat 3), and I added a C in m71 (and of beat 3)
- There were still some wrong notes in the left hand from m45-end, so I fixed the ones I could hear. As for the chords, I mostly left them the way they are for now
- There might be some other stuff I'm forgetting
I'm reasonably certain that the F and C are nonexistant. Also, I'd trust GilvaSunner's rip concerning looping. The quality is also much better.
The F is there; the C is not.
The F is also in m34.
Crap. I just uploaded the wrong sheets into this submission. Sorry.
EDIT: I had the PDF. That one's back.
My biggest concern here is in the nature of the arrangement itself. The transitions between sections are very jagged as a result of the methods used to incorporate various parts and combinations thereof. Try less to think of it as "flute + bass + uke = arrangement", and instead, deducing what the most salient features of those instruments are in order to form a fluid recreation of the work.
As Ben said the transitions sound very stiff and sudden. More specifically, the transitions: m. 26-27, 50-51, 58-59, 76 back to 27. Maybe have some chords (like the ukulele plays), when the long melody note fades out, to make it more smooth. Speaking of ukulele, I think you should incorporate more of that since it have such a big role in the song, if possible so to say.
I updated the file with the following changes:
- Added pan flute part to m5-8
- Added the guitar part to the right hand in m26
- Added an F on beat 3 m34
- Added the guitar part in m45-50 (this sounds out of place, however. Any suggestions are welcome), and replaced the bass part from m59-end
- Added an ending so that it doesn't end abruptly
Thanks for the advice! It sounds more fluid imo
measure 49-50, remove the accompaniment G's. That way you're indicating that the high should be held but the lower accompaniment notes should be played. Rather than now when you won't hear the G being held since the accompaniment notes play just after it is struck.
It makes more sense for the A#s to be Bbs (fits in with a C7 chord, and the flats later on in the piece).
I decided to move the Gs down an octave, and I changed the A#s to Bbs

Wonderful arrangement, can't wait to see it shine on the site! ^^ Few small suggestions before accepting it:
-The hand-clapping is a cool idea, but it comes really close to the entrance of the LH, leaving you with the time between that last eighth note and the next bar to prepare the first chord.
-In the future, the actual text on the page "hand clap (ad lib)" should be made as an expression rather than a text box. This way it would be attached to the desired measure rather than the page and the two would move together.
-The line in measure 25-26 is just barely colliding with the clef change. Care to move that up a tad?
-The mordants in the LH in measures 48 and 50 seem just a tad too high, and at first glance it almost looks like they belong to the second layer of the RH.
Microscopic things, though. Spectacular job and arrangement, guys!
Thanks! For the hand clapping, I changed the last beat to a quarter instead of two eighths, but everything else has been fixed accordingly
Great work!
