I promised to WaluigiTime64 that I'd do this sheet, and I plan on finalizing that promise with a proper submission.

New changes have been made since my earlier draft.

Looks pretty good in general, just a couple of things:

-I'd suggest putting a courtesy G# in the right hand of bar 17 because of the Gn in the left hand that are played concurrently.
-For the arpeggios standing in for the drums on beats 2-4 of bar 24, I'd recommend changing the Bns to B#s as I think the implied harmony here is a dominant which tends to be a major chord.  (It sounds better like that to many, anyway.)
-I'm not a huge fan of the optional tap feet line, mostly because I can't really see it being performed effectively ever; but also it visually clutters those three bars.

All of the notes look great, and I think I agree with changing a lot of the repeated semiquavers to quavers.

[LeviR.star]

- good idea, I'll add that in
- it's funny you should mention that, because I actually had that for my first draft, until I switched it to minor for this submission (because I wasn't entirely sure about it myself)
- neither am I; I added that in when a fellow arranger suggested I play around a little with my sheet to make it interesting, and since the bass line is completely absent there, I figured I make up for it by substituting the triangle with something. I'll take it out.

Thanks for the suggestions; files fixed.

Nice!

Very neat! Just a couple things:
- It sounds like both RH notes in m. 7 re-strike on beat 2.5.
- Since the E# grace note is part of a lower voice leading to the F# on the first beat of m. 10, I'd flip the slur so it connects to the lower note instead of the A.

Looks splendid otherwise!

[LeviR.star]

Quick question before I update this: if layers 1 & 2 are playing the same rhythm in the RH, should I move the layer 2 voice to the bottom of the RH? At least for the half of the measure it applies?

That'd be fine

[LeviR.star]

Okily dokily then! Changed for m. 7 & 10, and the slur was flipped.

[Latios212]

Awesome!
