NOT READY

[Sebastian]

Again, excellent song! I'm very glad how good you are this early in NSM life
Some feedback:
- The name is "Castle". Unfortunately, you can't change the name with replacements. Only Updaters can.
- You have the page size set at 67% which is way to small. It is wise to never go below 80%.....then it's too small to read
- Remember to watch your accidentals.
Here are some rules to help you (quote from Olimar):

1. Look at the harmony and analyze the chord (use an F# instead of a Gb if it's a D chord.)
2. Look at the motion of the melody. If it's going upward, use sharps, if it's moving downward, use flats.
3. If all else fails, just make it easier to read.

- In measures 11 - 17, you should use layers so you can hold those notes throughout the whole measure.
- The 16th notes in measure 27+ could use a little tuning up.
- The formatting needs some work. You can use a template to save the hassle.

Again, here is file with the above changes (XML, MUS, PDF, & MIDI):

Please tell me if there is anything you disagree with
Great Job!

This one I see some things I want to change back, which I will do later. I don't get why you put double flats on a chord, that makes my eyes water...

[Sebastian]

I don't get why you put double flats on a chord, that makes my eyes water...

Because that is correct. An E flat diminished chord has a double flat in it.

[Sebastian]

You don't have to put "not ready"

[skiaak]

I'm starting to work on this, though the changes may take a couple of days, since I don't have too much time. Although MLF, your ideas spurred some new ideas of mine, also.

[skiaak]

I finally got Finale Notepad after I waited like forever! I updated the OP again.

[Sebastian]

- You have slurs clashing against notes
- No title on second or third pages
- BPM is 127
- All sheet info is way to far down. How I had it was fine.
- The copyright info is clashing with the bottom of the page.
- You should be able to get all this on one page.....like I had it.

I'll give you more feedback when I get on my computer and can take a closer look/

[skiaak]

Sorry, if you could edit that for me in a MUS, PDF, and MID that would be great, plus please tell me how to fix those things in Notepad (sorry I don't know how).

[Sebastian]

Sure thing!

[Sebastian]

Sorry about my slowness on this one. I'll get to those fixes you want ASAP!

[skiaak]

The underground one also needs to be fixed. Remember to get the files from the OP. And please just edit the metronome and the stuff clashing, thanks.

[Sebastian]

Of course!

A lot of this stuff you can't fix in notepad. I re-edited it for you. You can just edit these files into the NSM panel (This is a Zip file with a XML, MUS, PDF, MUSX, & MIDI):
