Hi AspKing, welcome to NinSheetMusic. I don't have a whole lot to say today as I don't have a piano in front of me, but wanted to drop some comments. Reason I state that is this looks like a very complicated sheet and I feel the need to test the feasibility of some of the chords. However, I am a Ghost Updater, so my replies to you are likely going to be a bit spaced out on the calendar. This is one of my favorite songs from Sword and Shield though, so I wanted to get things going for you at least.

Usually with submissions we look to have some sort of linked audio for reference - dropping YouTube link.

The singular composition credit goes to Go Ichinose, sourced from here.

Feedback

• This is a very dense sheet on the current number of pages and not easy to look at - I think you could play around with the measure systems a bit so page 2 is maybe 5 systems instead of 6, and then the same for page 3. Making this a four page sheet would make this a lot easier to read (5-5-5-2). Page 1 the space could also be adjusted, I'd move the measure systems up a bit higher, and then widen the space between them.
• There's some missing notebeaming as well, to me it looks like you might not be aware that an entire beat should always be beamed together: ex. an 8th note on the first part of the beat, followed by a 16th rest, followed by a 16th note should have a beam that goes over the 16th rest to connect the two notes.
• m22 LH beat 1.0 and 1.75,  m30-32 beat 1.0 and 1.75 and for beat 2 this comment applies to, but it would be helpful if you could go through your sheet just to check again
• This is a good guide on beaming https://www.musicnotes.com/blog/note-beaming-and-grouping-in-music-theory/?msockid=07d994907287647c12f8817a73636584

Each submission requires an approval from one updater, before it can be accepted by a second for inclusion in an update. Hope this all helps

Hi Krick, thank you so much for the constructive feedback! I see that I was careless with my beaming, I have fixed them and found other bars with the same errors. I spaced out the score so that each page had 5 systems (which is the best case scenario thankfully!) and made some readjustments to the syncopated accompaniment. Hope you enjoy my new and improved version

As a quick look through, "repeat bars 2-5" followed by 4 empty bars is not sheet music, nor a common music direction. Can you instead copy bars 2-5 into the empty bars. You may want to have 8 bars here then repeat back to m6 if you feel that is easy to read / makes the fifth page nicer.

Also the pdf needs to be produced from the .mus file. There is different spacing of bars in the .mus and various musical symbols that are out of place eg missing bar numbers, crescendo in m43 is touching bar line, mf in m44 needs to be centered, the copyright info at the bottom of the page should only appear on the first page.

Somethings I see at a first glance:

-m28. the 2 16th note rests could be clumped together into one 16th note rest. Would make it look a lot better.

- Consider using 8vb lines in the bass. Some bass notes, like in m.7, goes very low. Thinking of it, you might consider putting the entire piece (apart from some measures in the very end (m.40-end) in 8vb. By writing something like "sempre 8vb", "8vb ad loco" or "always play 1 octave lower than written".

thanks for the suggestions, I will improve the score and upload the new version in a few hours!

Thank you so much for your suggestions, the pdf really is more authentic when exported from finale. But unfortunately, one problem I have is the second voice rest under the E Major chord at the end which cannot be edited
