[I should say that what I mean by 'move the additional harmony into the right hand' is really just adding at most one note to the dyads in the right hand currently to flesh out the chord fully if necessary. I should also add that I don't hear the F chord in bar 30 and so I don't think you should add Ans to the RH there.]

I think I got everything. I've commented on a couple of your points below.

-I don't really hear this Bb -> C -> Db -> F line in bar 22, at least it isn't very prominent.  I feel like for consistency (again) it would be better to stick to something more like the other bars.  Although I do hear the movement to F on beat 4 so I guess that one can stay in if you want.

I didn't remove this part (yet?). The Bb -> C -> Db -> F line is played by the cello. To point out why I had written that line in there, I had to tweak the cello part for playability purposes (I raised beats 1 & 2 an octave higher). Let me know what you think.

29-32:
The main thing is that these low left hand triads sound very muddy and don't really reflect the original feel all that well, in my opinion.
-I'd suggest removing these triads and replacing them with octaves from the bass notes, and move the additional harmony into the right hand.  I feel you will get a much more balanced sound this way.  I should say that what I mean by 'move the additional harmony into the right hand' is really just adding at most one note to the dyads in the right hand currently to flesh out the chord fully if necessary.  I should also add that I don't hear the F chord in bar 30 and so I don't think you should add Ans to the RH there.

I'm not sure I understand the bolded part. Can you please clarify?

Hi! Just wanted to say that I'm unable to make any adjustments until the very end of this month. I hope that's alright with you.

Made a few more minor edits, all included below:
-eliminated accented staccato in LH chords beginning in m.17 (now only staccato). They felt a little too strong in contrast to the melody.
-fixed the position of the staccatos in the LH chords in m. 30, so ignore my last point in the previous post.
-hid the rests in the third layer in m. 28, also added a line to connect the first layer of the LH to the 2nd layer in the RH.

Thanks for the constructive feedback, Libera.

Here's what I did:

-reworked the sections you pointed out.
-added some articulations to the LH chords
-eliminated the driving piano notes from m.17 to 25 in favor of the percussion section
-tried adjusting the staccato in the LH chords in m.30, but not sure how to fix it (clashing with note in RH beat 1)

I think that about covers everything I did.

Thanks for the feedback, Fantastic Ike!

Why do Xenoblade tracks have such weird names lol

Because Sawano. Lol. To answer your question, it's because Sawano wants his titles to stand out and be unique.

Everything should be addressed, except for the distance between systems. I tried increasing the distance to 1.2", but the last few measures keep disappearing. The increased space pushes the last few measures onto a new page, but the last page isn't visible. How do I fix this?

Bump

Here's a more upbeat song in contrast to all of my previously submitted sheets. Pizza and aliens galore!

A few things to note:
-How do I make D.S. work in playback? It's supposed to go back to measure one (which, unlike area themes from the other Xenoblade games, doesn't actually have loops with smooth transitions. All of the area themes in XCX just goes back to the very beginning). I'm not sure if D.S. is the appropriate type of repeat.

-Should I make the space between measures bigger, particularly m.7 through 12? The RH and LH are kinda close to each other.

-Is there a way to move the treble clef to the right in m.24 & 26? It kinda runs close to/clashes with the arpeggiated chord lines.

Much appreciated for the edits (and for the guidance), Latios212! Files are updated.

- This variation of the track, I don't see it on the official soundtrack listening - is it only used in cutscenes in game or something? What's its relationship to the base track?

You are correct--it's a version of the first part of this song. The vocal version plays once in a cutscene in the final chapter of the game.

- The chords in the last section seem a bit sparse compared to the original; was this a deliberate choice? It'd sound more lush and full like the original filling in the chords:

My aim was to have an accurate transcription, but your suggestion works better overall.

Other stuff:
- Lower the dynamic in m. 1 to be centered between the staves (also reduce the space between staves to 1 inch like the other systems)
- m. 14 beat 1.5 melody should be F instead of Eb
- m. 19 melody beat 3 should be A instead of C

Done!

Thank you for the feedback!

I fixed everything except for your last point. I'm happy to make these adjustments--IIRC there is a guide somewhere on the site, but I can't seem to find it. :S

Thanks for the suggestions! Files are updated.
