QuoteDid you give this some thought and decide to write in parentheses in the left hand? I think it might still be a bit much at the end of m. 14, but otherwise I suppose the overlap is not too intrusive. (The parentheses in m. 8 beat 3.5 isn't necessary.)

Yeah, figured the LH would have parentheses. Is this sufficient? (As for m8, meant to put them on 2.5. That's fixed.)

Everything else should be updated too.

Nice work on this! I remember playing this one or two times for Ethan on the performance events, haha. I mostly have some suggestions regarding playability/performance and adding of voices:

-m1: There's a G between the R.H. D's in beat 1
-m3: You could include the horn F and G on beat 1 and 3 (F with the R.H. and G with the L.H.)
-m6: I hear a Bb and F in the piano on beat 3 (so stacking two more fifths on the current Ab-Eb). You can add the Bb in the L.H. and the F in the R.H.
-m16: You could include some of the thirds below the R.H. here too, or alternatively, you could have the L.H. help playing all the missing notes (the jump up is still pretty doable at this speed for me, but it's definitely harder than keeping it in the R.H.).
-m17: Either continuing from m16 or just in general, you could have the L.H. help with the piano part in this bar, as it's a bit easier to play the piano and piccolo part separately, and it's possible for the L.H. to keep the F-Bb held down.
-m19: I think the pianist ties over the F in beat 2.875 (never had to think about beat counts with 32nd notes yet lol), instead of restriking? It sounds more legato and less jumpy
-m20: An alternative way of distributing the piano and woodwind voices is putting the C-C-F in a second layer in the R.H., and the An-En in the L.H. I don't really have an argument for or against either (except maybe keeping the voices in separate hands), but it feels satisfying to play that way haha. Also, maybe you could write the first C in the triplet as a staccato 8th instead of 16th + 16h rest?
-m21: I feel like the piano + bassoon part take up more of the forefront melody rather than the high piccolos/flutes, maybe you could use those as the melody instead? (bassoon an octave higher than the original)
-m23: The Eb-Bb-F fifth stack is a bit stretchy for me to play with the L.H., maybe you could put the F in the R.H. instead? Also, I think you could add a tenuto or short pedal mark on this first chord, as well as a staccato on the L.H. chord on beat 3, as they're of a considerably different length.
-m24-26: Like in m23 you could add some tenutos/pedal marks on the stacked-fifth-chords.
-m25: For the R.H. beat 1, maybe you could put the A from the trumpet in a separate voice from the piano, so the piano can play tenuto and the A staccato? For the piano part you could add in the G below the C too (the G-An is not much wider than other chords here), but for the F there's a similar stretch for either the L.H. or the R.H.: for hand-span consistency you could then put the F in brackets.
Lastly for this measure, you could add the legato in the R.H. from beat 2 to beat 3 like in m23
-m26-27: Maybe you could put the En and D at the end of the R.H. in m26 and the bottom En in m27 in the L.H., for easier playability?

My only suggestion to modify this game is to make it so that each person can only be revived once; otherwise, you can end up in a situation where one faction is able to dominate by being able to revive over and over again (especially if someone is able to trick another faction's reviver into reviving someone from their own team rather than the reviver's team).

Unless anyone else can point out a reason why that might actually break balance in this case, my personal preference for multi-use revivers is "one revive per person" cause I've seen several times throughout TWG history where not doing that can go terribly wrong.

Quote from: Latios212 on March 15, 2024, 06:06:39 PMThe main thing I have to say is that I'm not convinced by all the overlapping parenthesized notes in m. 8+. It can be difficult to pick out what's supposed to be a different voice when everything is solo piano, but I think having so many of these notes in close proximity is going to make it kind of confusing for the player what to prioritize with what hand. I think my recommendation would be as follows:
- If the top staff parenthesized note is struck noticeably louder than the LH voice, then consider it part of the melody, and have the right hand play it. The left hand could use parentheses, but I would probably suggest writing in a rest instead.
- If the top staff parenthesized note isn't struck louder, leave it in the left hand and omit it in the right hand instead.
Thoughts?
Did you give this some thought and decide to write in parentheses in the left hand? I think it might still be a bit much at the end of m. 14, but otherwise I suppose the overlap is not too intrusive. (The parentheses in m. 8 beat 3.5 isn't necessary.)

Just peeking in for now, will check the rest of the sheet another time. One other thing to mention as I pass by though is to take a closer look at some of your layer directions and rest heights:
- I think the lower layer LH rests would be better below the staff in m. 11, 17 and 19
- The upper layer LH rests would be better at normal staff height in m. 17 and 23
Also, note spacing looks off in m. 20 beat 1 - the first group of 16ths.

Quote from: Latios212 on March 15, 2024, 06:06:39 PM- The beat 2.5 E in measure 7 doesn't need to be cross-staffed at all, that'd be clearer and cleaner on the lower staff. I'd also suggest writing the G in the left hand on the lower staff as well, leaving the RH to only roll an octave on the top staff.
Make sure the G is removed from the right hand, and since we're using pedal here you don't need to tie the E over into beat 3.
