[...] and will make the changes sometime this week.

Did I say this week? I meant next next next week...

...

Hope that helps!

This helped a lot, thanks! I made all the changes, which definitely improved the sheet. I still have some doubts about my interpretation of the right hand in m. 25-29 - let me know if you think there's a better alternative.

Nice! I noticed this sheet needed replacing but had no clue when I would pick it up.

I hope these couple of points will help:

• In m. 8, I'm hearing the 16th notes on beat 3 as triplet 8th notes (starting on the beat).
• For the ending, starting from m. 14, how about including a rubato? Or perhaps a rit. marking for the last two measures?
• m. 14 is missing a wolf howl marking I'm just teasing

Fantastic! I subscribed without hesitation, looking forward to seeing more arrangements.

Thanks a bunch! I'm sure there's more than one way of arranging this piece and this is just my own take on it - glad to hear you liked it.

I have flown in from the world of Pokémon to bring you... a replacement sheet! Doesn't this soundtrack do a fine job of adding a spring to your step?

Sorry, yes this has been waiting around for me for too long. I had a read through the review points, and will make the changes sometime this week.

Per your suggestions, and to make things more consistent, I have changed it to say Arranged by Onionleaf - I sure hope the original arranger won't mind.

Other thing I noticed while glancing at this - the courtesy accidentals. Don't use articulations for that, you can press P when using the Simple Entry Tool and it will automatically respace things for you. You'll also need to clear the manual horizontal positioning

Oh my gosh that is such a useful shortcut key - thank you! (Might be a useful tip to add to the Help Guide forum?)

Wow, I'd say that's time well spent! This is one of my favourite tracks from this series, so it was a real pleasure to hear and see your arrangement. *thumbs up*

Thank you for the kind and helpful comments. It's fine by me either way which arranger is listed on the site, but I'm happy to change it to being both myself and Erich if that's one of the available options?

In response to your comment (1), I played the piece on the piano to see what would be the best option. (I should really make a habit of doing this prior to submitting sheets, as it really helps with reviewing them!) I found that the LH in the first half (up to m20) plays well as a non-legato (like the chiming of bells), while the second half sounds lovely with a continuous sustain pedal and makes for a good contrast. So I've annotated my sheet accordingly.

(2) is a fair comment, and it would be nice to include this; however, while playing the piece I felt that both hands are already playing within a rather narrow register so introducing this idea would make the piece more difficult to play without making a significant contribution all-in-all.

Hope my responses make logical & musical sense!

Thanks Libera, it is nice to be back! ^^

• Neat! The staff resizing tool will definitely help in the future.
• I agree with all the points that you've raised (and could finally hear the C that you mentioned, hooray!)

I've these final few changes, hope it looks better now.

Hiya, these are great! You've earned yourself a new subscriber.

Twilight Princess yay!  I keep meaning to get around to do some of these, but I haven't as of yet.  Nice to see a replacement though as most of the Twilight Princess section on the site is ... not all that great...

Aye, the sheets need a bit of a polish. But it's a great soundtrack and a real pleasure to work with, so would definitely recommend.

I took note of your comments above, thank you! Some of my replies are bolded below:

-The note in bar 21 should probably read 'small notes optional, play pp' and I'd adjust it so that the lettering isn't going through the bar-line.
Fixed, also moved the text's position after making the change below.

-Might just be me really disliking finales default staff size, but I think (as I usually do) that a 0.65cm would make the sheet look a lot neater.  You might need to fiddle with the distribution afterwards, possibly with five systems on each page.
I wasn't sure how to adjust the size to be exactly 0.65cm, is there a quick way of doing this? Let me know if the size looks better now, otherwise feel free to edit the file/send a snip and I'll adjust accordingly.

-I'm not 100% sure on what you should do with the barlines in this piece, but I don't think there should be two final barlines.  One of them should be a double barline, but I'm not entirely certain which one it is.  That being said, I'm not entirely sure why the fine is necessary in the first place since this piece doesn't have a distinct ending point and it doesn't seem to me to be a particularly obvious place to finish a performance.
Noted, have added a D.S. repeat instead.

-The D in bar the left hand of bar 36 is actually an octave lower, but writing that out might look a little awkward.  You could move the arpeggio things to the top stave and do some cross staffing stuff maybe...  Maybe try some stuff out and see if you can come up with anything there as I'm not 100% sure what the best option is at that moment.
Tinkered around with this idea, let me know what you think? Hopefully that's not too many clef changes in the left hand?

-You could include the start of the quaver part in bar 28 like this (ignore the horrible formatting; I do strange stuff to sheets while I'm checking them a lot of the time):

(You can also remove the E in the right hand if you want to, like in my picture, because it's now in the left hand.)
Have included the above, except kept the first beat in the left hand as a crotchet/quarter note b/c that is what I'm hearing in the original?

[huge Thank You]

A huge Thank You to those who are (semi-)retiring, your contributions to NSM have not been left unnoticed! Now you can sit back and view from a safe distance the mayhem that ensues on the forums daily.

And Congrats on the new promotions - enjoy the newfound superpowers and responsibilities that come with them.

Sorry sorry sorry, I'll get onto this soon!

Well whaddya know, my links have died - this is what happens when you don't regularly water them...

While I've refreshed my original post, unfortunately I don't have any new art to share at this time (being busy stinks). But, our church community have recently organised an art exhibition and I was able to showcase my cross-stitch projects.

I'm still working on two of them (the ones in the top-left and top-right corners), but will hopefully finish at least one of them this year. My larger projects usually have 20-40 colours to work with, so they take well over a year.

Oh, and here is another one that I completed last year and gifted to my previous workplace upon my departure:
