Okay, did a bunch of other stuff. This should be the last one from me.

So here's something we haven't had the chance to talk about yet.

So a couple things to notice. The top version is yours, the middle version is notated in the 12/8 meter with the appropriate subdivisions, beaming, and rest placement. Notice there are very little to no articulations since everything is already subdivided to their correct length. A viable and effective way to notate what you have currently without changing too much. It's also more classically inclined, meaning readers who are proficient at reading will be able to pick this version of the sheet up will instantly recognize what's happening. Highly recommended if you plan on keeping it in 12/8.

The bottom version is using swing 8ths and triplet-brackets as apposed to the former version. This keeps it easy with the 4/4 time signature, but although requires almost each of the front 8th notes in each duple figure to be articulated. This is certainly a more jazz approach that trades the difficulty not being able to interpret the triple subdivision that experienced players may have. While this isn't as straightforward as the previous version, it offers another perspective by alternating the triplet and duple feel and look. Not as effective in my opinion, but it depends on your target audience is.

We'll do our best!

Be sure to check if there are any notes overlapping, then.

Or any moments where cross staffing happens.

Is it readable enough??

You can throw that other F on the top staff, ledger lines and all.

I'll work on a solution.

Edit: Gotty!

Let know if that's still too small, I'll bump it up another two sizes if need be.

Aka, the crotchet.

Aka, very lightly articulated.

Oh, well, nevermind then.

There were a few other nitpicky things that I will get to sometime before the week ends.

So don't go nowhere.

I hear an octave above, but an octave below works just as fine.

There's a only a few measure where that's happening. In which case, I think it would be fine to move just those measure's bass figures down an octave so that they're no longer over lapping.

Try it, listen to it, and post it if it works.

Edit: don't forget the "https" in the copyright, also.

So I had to start from scratch, but that's okay. It was a good workout.

There are a couple of other things I changed because it made sense.

One last thing you could do is make the piano part a little more arranged away from the vocal line since there's some cool stuff. Be creative with the arranging and don't be shy to try out some new things. You got most of the work done, now it's time to have fun with it.

Awesome.

It looks much, much better.

A decent solution, but I still hear that it's trilling while fading out.

I don't have a problem with it, but I can't speak for others.

edit: Oh, wait, I see you changed it anyways.

I got you.
