Awesome, the changes look great! A few last comments from me:
- Finger numbers - in m. 2 I think it might be better to have the number above the staff instead of intersecting it, and in m. 41 the one over the grace note would be better off regular size. (Ran through these quickly and they seem sensible - nice for adding clarity
)
- I'd suggest removing the slurs between repeated notes in the RH of m. 30-36 - they could be visually mistaken for ties and at this speed I don't think the notation will affect much how the note will be re-struck.
- I think the last RH note in the lower layer in m. 37 is offset a bit much to the right - compare the note with the tenuto to the one under it.
- Don't forget to update the submission title in the NSM Panel too.
And regarding the additional harmonies added to the right hand in m. 14-21:
- I think the 4-note chords for the four eighth notes in beats 3-4 of m. 14 and 18 might be a bit much. Probably the beat 1 (and maybe 3) of these measures would be the best places to emphasize the harmony without making it much heavier/more difficult to play.
- I think that any additional harmonies in here would probably be best applied to the end section as well (m. 38/40/42/44 in particular since the other measures in the end section have other stuff going on).
I'm almost ready to approve, but I'll let MSF comment on some of the accompaniment changes before we finish up
