Hey look it's Gerudo Valley

I just realized what that said and I am very amused

Before the repeated section. Measure 3 is shorter than you have it written right now (4 eighth notes long instead of 6 eighth notes long)

Oh yeah, reviewing. Great, just a word or two about key changes:

- Double barline at key change (after 9).
- Courtesy key change at the end would help as the forward repeat bar starts mid-system and keysig isn't shown there.

Here's the file so you don't have to https://www.dropbox.com/s/q70q8a988k2sf0j/Cheerful%20People%20edit.musx?dl=0

When I lower this song by an octave it sounds almost exactly the same

Organs are cool

SPLENDID

Measure 3 should be a 2/4 measure with two quarter notes, not 6/8 with two dotted quarter notes.

Wheeeee

Hi, lalksjdfhlkaglsdkf!

First of all, please keep the files consistent, or if you can't, please let us know. Having different .musx and .mus files can make for some headaches.

That said, this sheet is looking pretty good. Here are some things to think about:
- Measure 1 looks kind of... silly. Maybe that's what it sounds like in the original, but I think it would just confuse the performer. Grace notes might be the way to go here; I would reconsider the 32nd note tuplet.
- Pedal would work well for this piece; would suggest writing that somewhere.
- Layers: top layer should point up, bottom layer should point down. That means adjusting measures like 8 and 12.
- Rhythm groupings: it's important to shoe beat 3 in 4/4 music. So measure 11 should be written as quarter-tie-dotted quarter instead of half-tied-eighth. Same goes for other measures later on. Split the half rest in the middle of measure 18 into two quarter rests as well.
- LH almost everywhere (measure 5 onwards): Layer 1 forces ties to bend upwards as layer 2 is under it. However, there's never any notes under the ties that would interfere, and indeed layer 1 sometimes dips below the second layer. So I would recommend flipping the bottom tie to bend downwards (Ctrl+F) as you would normally see.
- I would suggest avoiding double dotted notes in 28 and 32. It makes the layers there harder to read.
- Watch out for rests too close to notes in 18 and 24. 24 beat 4 also looks awkward.

*googles "NSM"* oh

This is great.

Sometimes I just need a good kick in the pants*

*That means ask me on Skype although I will be quite surprised if you suddenly show up right in front of me

Actually though as with any PMD arrangement I wait for Ben's input as he knows the soundtracks in and out and can probably offer more insightful feedback. That said, I know the wait's getting a little ridiculous so we'll just roll if we don't hear from him soon.

Na he moved

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday ^^

And a happy birthday to birthday buddies Dudeman, Bloop, and Pit as well!
