Sorry for the wait! Great pick, one of my favorites from Color Splash.

I really do appreciate the feedback, and I will save it for whenever I can get back to doing arranging, but I'm afraid you may have missed my previous message before your post. I can't reinstall Finale, and I'd rather not go back to using Notepad, so I'm waiting until the switch over to Musescore to start arranging again. I know that's awhile off, though, so please feel free to delete this submission in the meantime. I don't want to waste anyone's time expecting something to get done when I no longer have the tools to do it. I am really sorry for the inconvenience.

oh hey there THC!!!!
i've been trying to undead myself, but......
*glances at calendar*
... it hasn't been going that well. :eyes:

i've been pretty good! starting high school with an entirely new school program while switching sports and randomly deciding to learn two new instruments sure is a very interesting experience hahaha
... and, because i know all of you were secretly wondering this in the back of your mind, whether you've acknowledged it or not... no, my sleep schedule has not improved at all since i died. 

how've you been? :DDD

That sounds like a lot on your plate! Things are mostly the same for me, honestly. Eat, sleep, work. I've lost weight since last summer.

* huh, i guess you can use different fonts. i never knew that. that's pretty humerus.

Yo, A# Minor, you're still here! How've you been?

I actually voted with the majority on this one. I still feel the same way.

The next poll will be up faster than you can slam "post-modern jazz" on a piano.

Just a quick update on my absence. I basically have had to (and still am) setting my computer back up from scratch because it had a faulty hard drive that finally died. All of my important files and such are on external drives, but it takes forever to reinstall every program. I can't say how soon I can get to this or if I even can reinstall Finale, so if leaving this here is too much of a hassle, feel free to delete this submission. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, I would've said something sooner if the stress hadn't made me forget about this.

Plus, there's also the context of the chord it's leading into. It makes more sense for C# to lead to A than Db to lead to A.

I'm just gonna quote this since I think I accidentally made this edit after you posted.

I think can stay as-is as a Db chord, although

"I think can stay as is, although"

Plus, there's also the context of the chord it's leading into. It makes more sense for C# to lead to A than Db to lead to A.

Latios did say here to stick with a Db chord though, even if it was a little weird for the LH to go Cb to An.

Looks to me more like he was saying it would make more sense to change it to C#, but wouldn't have any problems with keeping it as Db if I had chosen.

So given the key for this track is in F major, a Db is going to be closer on the circle of fifths than C# minor. So flats for this measure

I had actually changed it from that because of this comment from Lat. I agreed that it made more sense to go with C# for this reason.

, although the walk down from Cb to An on the next page is kinda weird.

Just a quick response to that particular note. I'll look at the other stuff when I get a chance.

• m13-14 and m17-20 I think you could add the clavichord parts to the RH, just as harmonies underneath beat 1 and beat 2 (where applicable). Separately though, is there a reason m17-20 is down an octave?

I had a little trouble with the chords in m19-20 because I had to listen to it with one ear at normal speed, but I think I've gotten at least close.

• m36 RH beat 1 hearing Db under the Bb

Just for the sake of being consistent with the LH I wrote it as a C# and changed the F to an E#.

Otherwise, I believe I made all the changes you suggested.

Bumping for arranger as it's been over a month since I left feedback and we generally try to move the projects on a bit more of a fixed timeline

Sorry, work has been hectic lately, we've been understaffed. I've updated the file now, though!

• m15 RH there is a Fn above the notes currently on beat 1.33, and I don't hear the Ab

This is the only particular note I disagree with, though I do believe what I had was also a bit incorrect. I'm pretty sure the clavichord is playing a (each pair listed in descending order) Bb-G, Bb-Ab, Bb-D, then Ab-C on the offbeats. It's also an octave higher than I originally had it. So I adjusted that accordingly, still including the flute bit in there as well, of course.

I also noticed a couple more notes in the bass I had missed and added those.

Gg, everyone! I find it very funny how everyone kept saying "THC clearly had some thoughtful posts and more to expand upon if they hadn't died", when neither of those were true at all. It was making me chuckle.

I'm glad THC wasn't a wolf. That would've been funny but I'm glad he didn't do that lol

I feel like I should be offended. (/j)

m. 36 I think can stay as-is as a Db chord,

I did actually change this as well because you're right about the Cb to An being weird. Especially taking the context of the entire descending line.

I've done the other changes as well. Plus a couple small things I noticed myself.
