dis nice

Just try not to breathe it in asbestos you can.

been working on this with Insig, almost done

Just read the top staff and add tremolos as necessary.

Alright, feedback round one - aesthetics. Overall the notes seem good (haven't checked yet) and for the most part it's easy enough to read. But there are a number of ways to make this sheet look better; here are some.
- Measure spacing. I don't know what happened, but some measures ended up really cramped while others have too much space - most notably in the first and third systems of page 2. Click a note in each measure (throughout the sheet) to reset it to normal.
- Feel free to change up the space between the staves in different systems. Some systems have ample space (like the first) while others have nearly colliding elements from each staff (like m. 13).
- 32nd notes: from a performer's standpoint, these would be much more easily read as grace notes. Measures 22, 23, 30.
- Measure 35: The chord and 16th line seem like separate voices, so I find connecting them a little strange. I'd write them in separate layers.
- Measure 36: The switch-off point between the top staff and the bottom staff seems arbitrary and misleading. It disrupts the contour of the notes: the G-F#-G is difficult to discern. Here I'd recommend taking a look at how daj plays this part and notating it as such.

Alrighty then. Files are updated.

Did a final sweep, files updated.

Shouldn't the key signature be D minor? (I understand that you'd end up having a lot of B naturals but I think the key signature should still be D minor regardless of mode.)

Asked JDMEK5 earlier, he said:

Yeah it definitely sounds modal. Or at the very least changes keys too fast to justify key sigs in almost every case
I'd leave the key sig as is

As one extra touch, I'd recommend adding in the D and G dyad on beat 3 of m8, just as on beat 4, since by that point you can already hear it in the original track. Having it left out makes it sound a bit abrupt on playback.

Nice, I like that. Added.

Also, it might be just me, but the beaming in the RH of m43 and m47 had me confused for a bit. Personally, I unlink all beams that extend between beats, so I would do that here too since I think it makes it more clear; however, if you did that then you'd probably have to change all of them in the arrangement for consistency's sake. It's up to you, really.

Yeah that's a subject people have differing opinions on. It could help a bit, but here since everything is beamed in 4 I'd just leave it, as it's not particularly misleading, I think.

One last thing, and it's just a small nitpick: I feel like there's a tad too much empty space between the title/composer/arranger info and the first system, which is also making the top of the first page rather cramped. I'd suggest moving it down a bit.

Did that too.

Thanks for the help!~

This has not been forgotten

I will check this tonight

If you're still feeling lazy, just pick one and I'll do it for you.

I didn't realize you crush turtles in Harvest Moon~

Just a suggestion perhaps: maybe be consistent with the 8va's every other measure from 15-30?

Notes are good in first two sections. Aesthetics, though:
- Left margin far too small.
- 22 LH beats 1-2 - put staccato under.
- Any reason you combine layers in the RH of third section but not second? Just curious, you don't have to change. Although, the mordent is under the C# in the third section, which is a bit misleading; I'd put it over.

I'm sensing some problems with the notes in the LH of the third section though. I'm done for the night now, but I'd appreciate if you double checked those before I came back and finished this one up.
