HOHOHOHO!

[Dudeman]

Add an extra empty measure to the end of the piece before the pickup into the loop to reflect how the song loops in-game.

[ThatHiddenCharacter]

Ok, fixed.

[Dudeman]

I would try finding a way to add the background chords into the B section (m. 17 forward); it sounds really empty without them. Adding a layer into the RH seems doable.

EDIT: Also shouldn't the 8va in the bass be an 8vb?

[Libera]

Actually, 8vb is a modern invention that stuck.  The original (and still perfectly valid) notation is to use an 8va below the part you wanted lowered by an octave.  I personally don't use 8vbs on my sheets, but some people do.

[LeviR.star]

We've had a history of using 8vb for NSM sheets. I'd say this is up to THC.

That's what I'm saying.  He can use whichever one he prefers as they're both valid.

Finale won't let me use 8vb for some reason. I never even noticed until I tried to change it when Dudeman mentioned. Preferably, I'd like it to be 8vb, but I can't fix it.

Here you go.
All you need to do is select a smart shape, then go into smart shape options and change the symbol for octave down.

notes look pretty great too. Fix this and i approv

Alright, files have been updated.

I'd still take a look at this. It sounds pretty boring without the syncopated chords.

[Libera]

Haven't checked it too closely myself yet, but I do have a few things to say.

-Could we bring the tempo marking a little further away from the staff?
-Bring the very first 8vb marking a little more to the left to better cover the first note.
-Having four full bars plus the pick up in the first system looks a little bit scrunched up; I'd have only three full bars on the first system and have the final two systems be three bars each to help make it look more even throughout the sheet.

I also agree with this.

Looks pretty solid, though there are still a number of things left to clean up:
- Articulations should be flipped away from the staff where there are two layers that may interfere with each other. Measure 3 and 11 are fine but mostly in other places I would suggest abiding to this rule of thumb. Deleting and re-entering them should fix any problems.
- Some rest heights need to be adjusted. The quarter rest in m. 18/26 should be lowered to avoid touching the quarter note above it, and the rests in m. 20-21 and 28-29 can be raised to normal mid-staff height once the staccatos are moved to the right place. Additionally, the rests in layer 1 need to be raised to avoid touching the lower layer.
- I'd suggest a D.C. for this piece instead of repeat bars since it has a pretty distinct "end".
- Cn in m. 6 should be B# (G#7 chord).
- This sheet could be made a lot more concise (fit on one page!) if we use repeats!

I was playing around with the edits and saved a copy - please feel free to use it! (I also adjusted a couple of other minor things like staff line thickness and using an eighth+quarter rest in the pickup.

Everything else looks good - notes and all. Nice work.
