Here I am again, eradicating the terrible FFX section on-site.

[Maelstrom]

I only have one comment, everything else is excellent.

You have a number of place where it's somewhat clear that the RH is intended to pick up a LH note while the LH plays something lower, but there's no marking to indicate that. Is it supposed to be purely implied instead of explicit?

Adress this and I approve

[Libera]

My intention was that it was purely implied, as I thought that all of the cases of it were fairly clear but if there are any that you think could do with being more explicit I can maybe change things.

Thanks for checking!

I think it's clearly enough implied as is. There's not much else you could interpret those places as.

Anyway, looks great! I only found a couple of things:
- The last note of the lower layer in LH of m. 15 should be F-GB 16th notes leading into the Gn in m. 16. Similar to m. 34 (actually I would suggest spelling them both with Gb)
- One thing that stuck out to me as strange is the change of contour in the left hand pattern in m. 22-27 (beat 1.5). Is there a reason you're not using the lower notes (i.e. F in m. 22 and lower Eb in m. 23)?
- I'd recommend a courtesy flat on the low G in m. 38 (it "looks" like Gn is striking twice in a row)

Nice catch.  We had a bit of a chat about this on discord and I think that writing it with F# makes the most sense and is the least likely to be prone to sight reading errors as an added bonus but I can see why you might write it as Gb.

Not a good reason that I can see, fixed.  Although I left it as a Dn in bar 26 since it's nicer that way than it is with the repeated F.

- I'd recommend a courtesy flat on the low G in m. 38 (it "looks" like Gn is striking twice in a row)

Sure why not.

Thanks for checking!

Ay no problem. All good to go here!
