The sheet looks great! Thank you!

As to the C I wrote in the RH harmony, if you listen to the reeeaaaallllly high pitches frequencies, it definitely changes pitches on those even measures; going back and forth from B to C each measure. Even if you might not hear it because it's so high, I personally think the C is important enough. When I listen, the C is much more present than the suspended strings; the A/B become a piano/pianissimo dynamic in contrast to the louder/"screeching" C. I also believe it adds an extra color/"flavor" because of that clash and keeps the [one or two vgm nerd] listeners hooked and waiting to see where it goes (not that it really goes much since it happens on the fade-out).

Thinking of dynamic contrast and listening to the song again, do you think the "sus" notes are soft enough to note that the LH should be the "temporary melody" so to speak? (Or rather, the LH is the more important part in those sections). Lots of spur of the moment questions with this song. Guess that shows how long ago I made the original arrangement.

Updated, but I forgot to ask if I should keep the "dim" at m. 10 since I already have "Gradually Fade Out" there too.

- Funnily enough, the title is not supposed to be capitalized. In both the CD soundtrack (listed on vgmdb.net) and in the unlockable sound test, the title is not capitalized. It's odd and feels off, I know.
- The reason I had every other other measure with an octave E was because I had trouble distinguishing if the lower octave was present due to (what I believe to be) the bell of the cymbal being struck. I'm fine with getting rid of the octave, though. I think excluding it would be the better decision. I'll get rid of those extra octave Es. However, I think I'll keep/add accents to those bass Es.
- After some thought and testing, I've decided to go with your second suggestion. I'll make that edit.
- Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking.
- I'll fix that.
- So...up in the air? For now, I'll just write "opt. D.C." at the end of measure 8. If I had to guess why the CD has the song looped, I'm guessing it's because having the song play for it's original ~30 second length would be something of a let down for an "actual" song.
- I had been thinking about those after I uploaded the piece. When I was arranging it, I used my right hand for the 16th notes in measures 1-4, so at the time I didn't think a ton about it. I'll add the harmonies in.

Again, like the last couple sheets I've submitted, the formatting needs help.
I'm not confident about the RH because
  • of the legitimacy with playing the whole melody in an octave (specifically the 32nd notes in measures 6 and 8.);
  • and if the octave is in the correct octave (for lack of a better term).
As I was writing this post, I realized that the song on disk/in the video loops itself, but in the game, it doesn't loop. I'm fine with slapping on a repeat/saying "opt. D.C." if deemed necessary.

Welcome Mincheno!

I also agree with all the suggestions, so I will go ahead and upload those files. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! Most of those notes you changed I had on my MuseScore version, but I guess I was so worried about the formatting that I messed those up. Much appreciated! I will reupload those files with your edits shortly.

Welcome Advos! Glad to have you here!

Original Song: https://youtu.be/LbiYfnhiVw8

3 things to mention:
  • Everything is cramped. Couldn't figure out how to fix it.
  • About 80% of this song are played "echoes." I would have like to make those note-heads small, but that's not possible on a finale Notepad.
  • Measure 15. The dynamics suck. If it's possible to make the echo note-heads small, I would like to say that the echo notes in that measure are all pp.
#41
Perfect! Thank you so much!

Hi!
May I please have a blank finale score with the following:
  • Time Signature: 7/4
  • Tempo: quarter note = 70
  • Key: E minor (G Major)
  • Clefs: RH clef in 15va treble clef. LH in regular treble clef.
  • Measures: 20
Thank you so much!

"Borrowing" an idea from Latios212: Aquatic

To clarify, aquatic themes don't mean only underwater songs/levels. Underwater themes are fine, but this could include songs from a port/water-themed town or a beach. If there's a special theme for a water boss, I would say it counts.

I [personally] think that saying underwater just puts this "unconscious" idea that it's got to be from an underwater level. That's why I'm saying aquatic instead.

Although, this probably isn't the right time or seasonal "mood" to do an aquatic themed update, but just a thought for right now.

These all seem like such great ideas! All the ideas that I thought of broke the one rule, or get so close to breaking the rule that they might as well break the rule. I can't wait to see all the choices when it's time for voting!

I love the accordion! It's also an instrument that I've wanted to learn, but haven't found the time and energy for. As Latios212 said, it's great to see pieces being "re-worked" for the accordion; Professor Layton is one of my favorite video game series. Seeing music (arrangements) for the accordion is fascinating to me I really want to learn more now.
