Let's get started with the Shadows of Valentia section shall we.

Let's get started with the Shadows of Valentia section shall we.

yes it shall double in size

Feedback:
- Is there a reason the LH uses rests instead of half notes in m. 5-20?
- LH for m. 13-14 and 17-18 should have Db instead of C on beat 1.5 LH.
- The sections in m. 13-16 vs 17-20 sound like they should transition from low notes to high notes in the RH, instead of the effect you have right now. Perhaps we could lower the octaves in 13-16?
- I'd suggest writing the lower RH voice separately from 17-19; the split in m. 18 looks a bit odd at the moment and the string layer is very distinct from the piano layer in the original.
- Raise m. 21 back up an octave like the original?
- The lower C in m. 23 beat 1 isn't there.
- The voices get pretty difficult to follow at m. 27. The C in m. 27 should be beamed up to denote it's part of the top piano voice. Some beams are broken for the eighth note voice and some stems/ties are flipped for others... see if you can try and clean this part up a bit? (Notes are fine, though.)
- The performance note in m. 32-33 needs to be moved over a bit
- Top piano voice in m. 34 beat 2 should be Ab instead of C.
- Beat 3 RH of m. 39 should be G.
- The tremolos at the end are a bit too far to the right above the notes.
- m. 41 dyad should have the Eb above on top like m. 45.
- m. 42 and 46 should have an additional G on top of the dyads.

Made lots of changes.  Fixed lots of notes, some you spotted, one you didn't (bar 44 second quaver Db rather than Cn) and also I brought the formatting up to my current standard.

- I'd suggest writing the lower RH voice separately from 17-19; the split in m. 18 looks a bit odd at the moment and the string layer is very distinct from the piano layer in the original.

Does the piano sheet need to reflect that though?  I dunno I'm not really seeing the need.  I know I split it into two voices in bar 33+ but that was to help the performer follow the direction.

I think I did this to make it look cleaner ... but I've had a fiddle around with it, maybe it looks better now.

- Top piano voice in m. 34 beat 2 should be Ab instead of C.

I hear a C.

This sheet was so bad it hurt.  I'm going to go over any old arrangements before I submit them in future.  Thanks for helping to fix it up, but you really shouldn't have had to do that much.  My apologies.

It's okay don't worry let's see now...

- LH for m. 13-14 and 17-18 should have Db instead of C on beat 1.5 LH.

This is still missing

The C in m. 27 should be beamed up to denote it's part of the top piano voice.

Oops, I think I might have meant m. 28. Other than that I think it looks better now than it did before. Last thing I'd suggest is hide the rest and flip the quarter note back down in m. 31 beat 3 LH.

- Top piano voice in m. 34 beat 2 should be Ab instead of C.

I hear a C.

Oops I meant beat 3.

I think it would be best to separate them because they're two independent voices in the original, as opposed to just one supplementing the other. Thus when playing the performer can enunciate both instead of focusing on the top line.

Things have been fixed again.

I've kind of gone off hiding rests to be honest.

Eh ok.

Thanks again.
