Fixed!

(I'm using Musescore to Finale Notepad for updating and have to manually put in slurs so I'll add them back for the final submission)

m1 You can add a Con Pedale text to let the performer its okay to add pedal.

m24 I'm hearing the LH as An, F#D# D#Bn

m27 I'm hearing the cello go An Gn, and the accordian doing EG diads. I would suggest just EG diads.

m28 I hear a F# b3 in the piano that should be added to the LH.

m32 Is there a reason why the F# in the LH is not down the octave?
m32 I'm hearing b2 and b3 as the same as in m24 (F#D#, D#Bn)

To have a consistent feel I think m33 and m34 should be diads with the same notes as the current broken diads.

m36 I hear the bass go down an octave b2

In m43 if you can use Ctrl + Shift + Up in musescore to move the LH notes up the RH and hide the crotchet rest that would be better I think.

m52 Instead of the En Bn En small notes, I think adding the accordian  doing Gn F# Gn Bn En would be better.

Fixed these!

m24 I'm hearing the LH as An, F#D# D#Bn

Didn't know if these should've been sixths or thirds, I have thirds for now to keep it as the same pattern. 

In m43 if you can use Ctrl + Shift + Up in musescore to move the LH notes up the RH and hide the crotchet rest that would be better I think.

Added this as part of voice 2 in the first staff, it defaulted to the following when I did the ctrl+shift+up which I wasn't sure if you meant.

I haven't heard this one yet! It's very Lena Raine lol

• The tempo at the beginning is quarter note = 89, I'd also put the ritard in m4 since it's a longer slow down.
• In these music box sections in m1-m8 and m141-end, the LH plays a grace note earlier. You could just add a grace note and tie it to the quarter notes, or put a performance note about it.
• m13, 15, etc lh b3.5 - The strings play an E here.
• m20 lh - I think the bass not being here loses a bit of momentum, omitting the dyad in b1 for the bass works fine imo but that is up to you. I'm hearing the bass play Bn on b3 and that could be included below the third.
• m27 lh b1 - I'm hearing Cn.
• m35, 36 rh - I'm hearing these eighth notes as quarter-eighth triplets.
• m37-42 lh - The notes on the downbeats could be down an octave (maybe m39 and m40 are fine) to match the original. Also all the upbeats have harmonies, though I'm not sure what you're currently notating (I'm assuming its the string parts, but why is it only one note then?).
• m39-40, 55-56 rh - These are harmonized by thirds below
• m43 - I'm not sure why the 2nd layer is in the treble clef, it'll be easier to read in the bass clef. Is b3 layer 2 supposed to be played by the rh or the lh? You could also put the dotted half En in the lh.
• m46, 50 lh - Again, I think the lack of bass on beat 1 loses momentum here, and this time it feels more interrupting of the waltz rhythm. b3 I'm hearing Bn. I also think the Bn on b2 distracts from the D#-B movement and should harmonize b2 with a third above instead.
• m50 rh b3 - I'm hearing this as staccato.
• m51 rh b3.5 - I'm hearing this as an eighth triplet.
• m51, 52 lh - b1 I think this can have an octave above and b2 and b3 should be lowered an octave. Then since the synth bass goes low you can harmonize m52 with an octave below.
• m53-60 rh - The original is down an octave and I"m assuming you put it up because this section is lighter? I think it should stay in the original octave and making this section pianissimo would communicate that (or an expressive note if you wanna be fancy lol).
• m53-58 lh - Same comments as m37-42 except since this part is lighter it's fine to leave the bass where it's at (plus, moving it down in that earlier section will make this feel lighter by comparison).
• m59-60 lh b2-3 - I'm hearing G#-B dyads in 59 and E-G# dyads in 60.
• m64-66 rh - m64 b2 should be staccato, m65 b3 should not be staccato, m66 b3 should be staccato.
• m65-66 lh - Any reason the upbeats aren't harmonized like the rest of the section?
• m68 rh b1 - I'm hearing C-D grace notes.

Right, that's all I got for now. I'll look at the cool drop section at a later time.

Hey, thanks for all the notes! Sorry this took a bit

Believe these have been fixed!

I'm gonna be honest and say I picked a piece pretty out of my skill level, did not realize what I was getting myself into until after I submitted whoops. I was trying to follow the strings since to me they sound the most prominent but I unfortunately have a hard time hearing the low notes properly especially amidst all the layers so for now I've tried to just fill in the chords somewhat, though I don't know if I've got it right.

No worries! You've done a great job with your arrangement and I'm mostly just nit-picking here. The harmonies sound right to me (usually just filling in the chords works lol).

Now for everything past m69

• m83, 115 b2 lh - I'm hearing Bb instead of An for the middle note.
• m84, 116 b3 lh - It sounds like it should be An-C dyad, no F on top.
• m85-94 rh - For this figure here, there should be a grace before the top note.

• m91, 123 lh - The line you're notating has a sneaky rhythm going on but the b2 and b3 notes should be on the third triplet of the beat.

• m95 b3 lh - This should be the same as b2.
• m108 rh - The synth line does play a C with a mordent on beat 3, though I'll leave its inclusion up to you.
• m112-116 rh - The top line should be down an octave.
• m117, 125 b1 rh - You can place these rests on top of each other since both lines don't play.
• m129-132 rh - The bottom line should be up an octave.
• m140 - There's only one bar of rest here, so this isn't needed. You could do a grand pause at the end of 138 if you want to.
• m141 to the end should be quarter note = 89 as well.
• m143 b1 rh - This note should be C. They're playing a mordent so it's C-Db-C but the echo makes it a little hard to notice.
