Quote from: Latios212 on January 22, 2017, 07:30:38 PM- Rhythm grouping: When in 4/4 be sure to show beat 3. Here that would mean breaking up the half note into an eighth tied to a dotted quarter.
- Ties look better now! Maybe flip the ones in 30-31 still?
I updated the submission with this done. I also added articulations for the left hand.
After trying to play the score I completely removed thirds in the 16th and the triplets.
The measure 49 is back to triplets (RH) on eighth notes (LH).

- m. 29-36: spice up the bass a little bit! You've got two different types of drums here, so perhaps something like using a different octave of the same note to help differentiate between them.
I tried these changes, here's the result: pdf/midi.
m1-2: Somehow I never noticed the percussion on these beats!
Should I add also a bass C on the rest at the beginning of m. 3?
m29-36: I used the top octave since the bottom octave would be A0 (I don't really want to use that note) and as the rhythms in the octaves are different, I wrote the rhythm for the Right Hand. The rhythm replaces the whole notes A.

Here is a look on what the score should be with the correct octaves: pdf/midi.
On the RH, almost everything is an octave higher than my score except for the synth, brass and marimba parts (m. 1-4, 29-36, 45-54 and all the ascending thirds like in m. 8 & 20 are unchanged). On the LH, only m. 45-48 is an octave higher, but it makes the part unplayable so that's why there is an octava.
When the melody is like in the song, there is two octaves between the RH and the LH.
I really think that it's better to lower the melody, it creates gaps of 1 or 2 octaves between most of the transitions (m. 8, 20, 4-5, 28-29, 37, 40, 44-45) and in my opinion on the piano it sounds better an octave lower.
The notes at m. 8, 9, 20, 21 don't bother me when I'm playing, but I can remove them if necessary.
