I wasn't very happy with these voicings either, but having the bass where it should be sounded too muddy... However, after trying them out on an actual piano, I realise this was probably due to poor playback/soundfonts
For these dynamics, I realise now that some stuff is actually moving during finale's pdf export, but I think I found an acceptable middle ground.
Oh, and I added the missing page 2 title/page number as well.
Anyways, everything should be fixed now ^^

Fixed everything & updated files.

- I had trouble with note lengths as well, I couldn't make out what was part of the actual note and what was reverb... In the end, I decided to go for consistency with 16th-16th-8th stac. and non-dotted quarters everywhere, because having it just 1 time different than the others seemed weird to me?
- You're right, I shuffled voicings a bit, should be easier to play now.
- Same as above
- Done
- Well, what I wanted was a gradual crescendo from mp to ff in 4 steps (with no going back down), but I lack a dynamic between mp and mf
- Done

Files updated with above feedback included

m9 is kind of crunched- I'd suggest moving it down a system.  That way you can also have it so the last two measures aren't super wide

I'd rather not move it a system down, as that would break the whole 1-phrase 1-system scheme... IMO it's barely, but still in the acceptable crushiness range

Here's something a bit different I did for another place, I thought I'd post it here as well to see how easy/hard this concept would be for you guys.

Edit: Oh right, it would actually be a good idea to explain what this quiz is :p
10 tracks from HGSS with only one instrument playing, and only 1 of them is the actual melody.

Neither, the similarity with Gakkou Gurashi and the fact that I used the exact same part as braix were intentional :p

There are actually 2 completely different anime adaptations of Kino no Tabi, and I picked the one I like better. Unfortunately, it also is the oldest of the two, so that definitely didn't help...

Nice Boat. (School Days)

Timestamp: 0:00

YouTube Link

A bit of history: when School Days was broadcasting, a murder quite similar to some events in the last episode actually happened a few days before its airing. So it was cancelled, 30min of norvegian boats pictures with classical music were broadcasted instead, and obviously, this became a meme.

Of course, this is Air on the G String. And unfortunately, I didn't know there was actually an anime based completely on it... Sorry MSF! I'll still give you your 0.20 points for G Senjou no Maou :p

This thing is absolutely cursed, and I guess it was removed from all subsequent broadcasts/releases, because it's very hard to find. I only know it because it pops up randomly in AMQ, but now that I've heard it, you have to hear it too :p

This is the serie I'm watching right now, and I have to say, Monogatari's openings take a huge place in my favourites ranking. I mean, when I saw the first one being based on staplers, I instantly knew there was something graphically unique going on there. This song, however, is actually an ending, so quite befitting to end this quiz

... Okay, one week later, I still only have one contestant, so I decided to do another version:

[Dropbox Folder]

In this folder, you'll find the same quiz, but the melodies are now put in a context: a second instrument's line, a bassline, chords, a longer section... It should make things easier.

Since I've only received a single guess, I've decided to post a handful of hints:

-#1 is the only one you can hear on a nintendo system.
-My bad, but #4 is actually in 12/8.
-Two of them are from two different anime from the same studio and director, who's known for its somewhat unique art style.
-One of them is from a rather violent concert band piece, of which I took the quitest part (on purpose).
-One of them is from a game OST which mainly is ambient music. I took one of the few melodies there were.
-From what I've been told, one of them has already been used before. It's the only one that has been guessed up to now. It's also the one and only bassline in this quiz.
