I have to apologise to the updaters and feedback people. I had no bad intentions, just wanted to make a joke. I realised that it wasn't fun and I won't do this again.

- For the composer/arranger text, I would suggest the following instead of "Edited by":
QuoteComposition by Franz Joseph Haydn
Arrangement by Hajime Wakai
Piano arrangement by PokeMaestro
- URL missing a / at the end
- You can just use a tenuto mark (horizontal line) instead of "ten." in the first system
- For the "surprise" chord in m. 16 the ff doesn't have enough room - it's colliding with the stem of the LH part. You could either widen the space between the LH/RH staves or flip the LH octave down.
- Also about the chord, I would suggest adding accents and the fifth (D) to give it some more punch.
- The left hand in m. 23-24 and 31-32 should be an octave lower.
- Extra mf mark in m. 25 is not needed
- I don't think you need the (pp) in m. 9, it's not really any different from the beginning is it?
- I would suggest reducing the space between systems a little bit so you have room to put the footer within the page margins. See this topic: https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/index.php?topic=10719.0

Wait, I'm confused. Was there already a feedback or did you just put it in a quote?

Is that a defect? The title shows components of a source code...

However, here's the original. I wasn't sure if G minor is the right key because the piece almost only consists of diminished chords... Let's see.

updated  :P

I'm glad we've finished that sheet after over a year. Thank you, Mastersuperfan and Latios for supporting this. I got a lot of experience.

Help! / Re: Conversion to .mus?
January 25, 2021, 09:19:21 AM
Hello!

  • 1. Open your arranged mscz file via MuseScore.
  • 2. Go to "File" -> "Export". Here you save your file as an mxl.
  • 3. Now download Finale Notepad 2012 (if you haven't it yet). It is free of charge.
  • 4. In Finale NP 2012, select "File" -> "MusicXML" -> "Import..." again and select your arrangement converted to mxl.
  • 5. Now go to "File"->"Save" again. Now you have your .mus file.

Alright, you will see that the .mus-file is very unstructured. It is very time-consuming to adjust everything by hand, as Dekka said. Especially if you don't know Finale yet. I had the same problem at the beginning. I'll write you a PM with some tips.

Rest was updated

QuoteI'd be happy to take care of these last few things for you. Just let me know
Oh, I'm sorry I didn't get back to those points. I thought the pdf was fixed. Anyway, if it wasn't fixed already, I would be happy too if you can could do that, you as longtime Finale user probaly get this better than I do ;D

QuoteI don't think there should be a key signature change in this one, though. Two flats (Bb key signature) makes sense throughout and I would recommend writing it like that.
You're right, I'm removing the F minor. Although I love key changes so much :'( But I would leave the double barline.

Quote- m. 24 would look more natural if the half notes in the LH were written as quarter notes in one layer, or if the Bb on beat 3 was written in the right hand instead
I intentionally constructed this so that the performer can decide for himself whether to play it with his left or right hand. For the sake of clarity I have extended the stem of the note to the top.

Quote- We should have courtesy naturals on the Dn in m. 6/8/14/16/38 since they immediately follow a Db
Done

Quote- The first chord in m. 17 should have an F on top
Done

Quote- I don't think m. 31 needs an 8va, that octave sounds like it should be at the staff height it's written.
Alright, I've accented this octave instead.

Quote- Second chord in m. 31 should be inverted up (C on top instead of bottom).
Done

Quote- As Latios said, all of this should be in swing, with the dotted eighth - sixteenth patterns as swung eighths
I think that the rhythmic points are already emphasized enough here so that a swing is not necessary. Besides, I'm not a big fan of jazz, so please don't be angry with me if I don't transfer it in swing  :-[

Quote- In the melody, it might be helpful to put two-note slurs on patterns where a held note is followed by a staccato note (e.g. m1, m2 after you change beat 1 to a half note, m5, etc.). That would make the phrasing easier to see.
please don't

Quote- In m3-4, I don't hear a Dn in the LH chord, just the other three notes.
- In m8, the LH chord should be Gb-Bb-Dn, not F-Ab-Dn.
- I don't hear Cb's in the m14 LH chord.
- m16 LH would be better represented as a dotted quarter than a quarter, IMO. (You could also write it as a quarter tied to an eighth, if you prefer.) Or, you could just write a half note to keep it simple. Either way, it should be held for longer than one beat.
- In m21-22 LH, the top of the triad sounds like a Dn rather than a Cb.
- In m30 LH, the Bb's in the chord should be Ab's instead.
- In m36, I would remove (or at least parenthesize) the top note of the chord from LH beat 3 since the RH is playing the same note non-staccato.
- In m2-15, I feel that you often cut off the melody note too early and leave too many rests in the phrases as a result, compared to the original (in particular: m2, m3, m8-10, and m15). I would hold those notes out longer, up until the next note in the melody.
All done and updated! And happy Halloween you all!
