Updated file seems good! I have nothing to change.

Quote from: Static on February 16, 2020, 02:00:30 PM- The Fn in m12 should be spelled as an E#.
- The beginning of the 8va lines should be moved a little to the left so it lines up with the center of the starting note.
- m15 beat 2.5 LH sounds like it should have an A# and B#, and it should be rolled.
- There should be a grace note F# before the G# in m16 RH.
- m17 beat 4.5 LH should be an En instead of D#.

- Changed
- Fixed
- If this suggestion is same what Radiak488417 wrote here, then the rolled chord in RH had already included the notes.
- Added

Quote from: mastersuperfan on February 15, 2020, 02:58:44 PMJust a few formatting/playback fixes I made:

- Removed the redundant accidental on Ebb on m10 beat 3.

- Added invisible articulations to Layer 1 in m13-14 to get rid of wonky playback (now the invisible Layer 2 is the only one that plays), though I'm not sure if playback was already how you intended it beforehand. Not that playback is a big deal, but let me know if there's some specific way you want it to playback (e.g. one of us can use full Finale to add hidden percussion staves).

- Changed the invisible measure at the end from a quarter rest to a hundred twenty-eighth rest (or a semihemidemisemiquaver, as Libera would call it) so that it doesn't affect playback.

One question I had was about Layer 2 from m15-21. It sounds like you moved the notes on beats 2.75 and 3.25 of each measure down an octave compared to the original. Was this to avoid it overlapping with Layer 1? Just wanted to double-check since I think it would be okay (but by no means necessary—do it how you want) to bring those notes up even if the layers overlap.

Additionally, you might consider raising the RH in m12 and/or m22 since it feels like the melody is sort of "ascending" up to that part as it builds up. If you wanted, you could also double the Db's/Eb's by an octave in the RH in m12/22 for extra emphasis.

- Since that note is the first Ebb note in voice 1, Notepad automatically add the double flat back on the note. Instead of removing it, I make it invisible by editing the .xml file.
- The invisible notes correspond to the drum sounds that I want (35 Acoustic Bass Drum, 37 Side Stick). Changing the MIDI instrument to drum kit may do the job, but there may be better solutions.
- Tinkering and re-importing the .xml file resets the measure widths. Pasting measures also reset the distances between systems and potentially the number of systems in each page.
- Moving down those notes an octave is intentional, to let the top melody note stand out more.
- Adapted

Aside from that, only thing I can see if that m. 4 would be better written in two layers to clarify what's going on in beat 1. If you're good with that, then I approve! (Files updated in the Dropbox folder.)

- Accepting the changes and the suggestion.

Quote from: Static on February 16, 2020, 02:00:30 PM- In m2 RH beats 3-4 there's a really distinctive triplet figure here that I think would be a good addition. It's pretty prominent in the original track.

- Notes added

Quote from: Latios212 on February 08, 2020, 06:16:23 PM- I'm not sure the grace notes on page 2 really work? They distract from the smoothness of the melody quite a bit and I don't really hear them in the original.
- For the main left hand pattern in m. 29-42 I'd consider putting beat 1 down an octave and seeing how that sounds to you. It would bring out the deeper bass tones in the original without making the entire pattern too bassy.
- I heard the grace notes from the ocarina in the high register, but I agree that the notes don't sound as smooth on piano.
- Change the pattern to arpeggios.

  • Many of the LH dyads/notes in measures 1-15 falling on beat 2.5 are inaccurate:
    • m6: The A# should be a G#-A# dyad.
    • m8: Dyad should have an A# added on top.
    • m11: I think the LH is actually fine, but there should be a triad in the RH on beat 2.5 consisting of A#, C# and D#.
  • m14 RH: Dyad on beat 1 should be a triad with notes G#, A# and C#.
  • m16 RH: Melody note on beat 1 should have a grace note (F#).
  • m21: Also, it's really hard to hear, but there's a chord in the RH on beat 4.5—sounds like an F# major triad (F#, A#, C#).
  • m22: In the RH, the B# on beat 4.5 should have an F# below it.
  • I think mp would work better as a dynamic for this piece, but that's open to interpretation.
- I personally could not hear these notes, or heard these differently. Additional feedback will be appreciated.

Quote from: mastersuperfan on February 10, 2020, 05:16:32 PMI was writing up a post and decided to just post an updated file since I'm guessing you use MuseScore and I'm not sure how many of these changes are doable without full Finale:
- Thanks for the edit and I indeed mainly used MuseScore for arranging and Finale Notepad to generate .mus files. Accepting all changes made.

Quote from: mastersuperfan on February 10, 2020, 05:16:32 PM[MUS] [XML]
- The placement of the articulations in the .mxl file was messed up when imported to Notepad. I guess this may be a limitation of Notepad. The updated file is modified from the .mus file.

Quote from: mastersuperfan on February 10, 2020, 05:16:32 PMOther suggestions beyond what I changed:
- I think you could try to fill in the rest of Layer 2 in the RH in m15-21, since that line doesn't stop actually halfway through the measure (it keeps going the whole way through).
- Tiny thing, but I would consider moving the "Composed by/Arranged by" info down a little bit since it's pretty close to the subtitle and there's a lot of space between it and the first system. Purely a matter of personal preference.

- Added notes to the measures, but honestly these were barely noticeable to me, so I might interpret them incorrectly. 
- Location adjusted

Two more sheets for the update!

[GBA] Kirby & The Amazing Mirror - "Olive Ocean"
[WiiU] New Super Mario Bros. U - "Meringue Clouds"

Things to fix?
Olive Ocean
mm. 13-14: Either silent the playback or change sound to L.H. bass drum, R.H. side stick, or similar sounds; Make both clef at the start invisible
m. 14: Add courtesy bass clef at the end of both staff
m. 22: Add courtesy key signature (without affecting playback)

Meringue Clouds
Playback: Should change to triplet swing

Quote from: Latios212 on January 28, 2020, 03:54:33 PM- There should be something signaling the introduction of the melody in beat 3 of measure 4. One thing I'd suggest is using a p dynamic at the beginning and having the rest of the song be mp/mf from there.
Changed. Also modified measure 49-52 to match the beginning.
 
Quote from: Latios212 on January 28, 2020, 03:54:33 PM- Measures 8 and 16 beat 3 should have an A# in the right hand, layer 2.
Added.
 
Quote from: Latios212 on January 28, 2020, 03:54:33 PM- Measure 21+ would be better as arpeggios of single notes in the left hand instead of trying to combine multiple layers and having some releating notes
I have changed measure 21-28. Measure 29-48 seems fine, but if it needs additional changes, I could fix them.
