FYI, the official title is just "The Man who Masterminds the Game," without the name in front. I changed the thread title accordingly. Are you able to change that on the sheet too?

Hey, welcome to the submissions process! Nice to see you working on something for the site. :)

One thing I want to clarify off the bat: the community is here to provide support but it is ultimately your responsibility to take feedback and implement it to improve your arrangement. Please do ask for help if you need it - but do not expect other people to simply spend their valuable time doing something for you that you are too lazy to even ask for. Laziness and an uncaring attitude will get you nowhere. Good sheets are crafted with hard work.

Anyway, about the arrangement itself, measure 39 and the last four measures are unplayable for a soloist. Think about ways you can make those workable.

In the future, please post a Youtube link for reference:

Here's some feedback:
- You're missing a lot of ornamental notes in the RH melody (e.g. m10, m18, etc.) Could you please listen for these and write these in?
- Check your notes in the following places: m21-22, m25-26, m33. I'm hearing wrong notes here.
- The biggest thing right now is that the arrangement is really bare and empty-sounding with only these two voices. I would add the syncopated piano dyads in the background that play every measure. I know they might be hard to transcribe, but I think adding them in is really important to making the arrangement work well for piano.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions about incorporating these suggestions!

thank you MSF, I'll do this once I get home from School. sorry for not checking it (ping me on discord if you want me to check the forums). I will need assistance on figuring out some of the rhythms. I can keep time and play back rhythms but it's difficult for me to transcribe. also, I thought that NSM sheets were MEANT to be barebones, my bad

Not really. There's no specific guidance on how full or empty to make an arrangement. It depends on how the original piece sounds and how well the different voices translate over to piano. Generally, try to preserve as much as can reasonably be preserved while writing something that's not too difficult or awkward to play.

A little help here, I have a hard time determining notes on my own. I'll work on putting in some stabs in 23, 24, 25 and 26

I will need some assistance with the ornamental notes. my notes are correct. unless it suddenly shifts key signatures then I don't know what to say.

The Dyads pose a problem though

Hey, sorry for the wait on this one. Looking at the files you linked, it doesn't look like you changed very much from what you had before. My comments still stand:

If you're having trouble, I'd suggest checking out AudioStretch, which will let you slow down the audio and raise it up/down an octave to hear the notes better. See here for a guide: https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/index.php?topic=11175.0. This should be able to help you identify the ornamental notes and the dyads better.

There are accidentals involved, and the notes in the original are different from the ones you have. AudioStretch is helpful here for slowing it down and identifying the individual notes that are wrong.

There are lots of sheets on-site that you can refer to as instances of good arrangements.

I don't mean to be harsh, but our job here isn't to transcribe other people's sheets for them. I've laid out quite clearly what needs improvement in this sheet and where. Getting this sheet up to our site's standards is going to require putting in the time and effort to learn to identify and arrange the notes properly. If you've been trying your hardest to do that and you're completely, genuinely stuck, I would recommend starting with an easier arrangement first.

What I mean is that, if you give me an example in a small snippet and I'll do my best to replicate it. I'm still a novice and all the easy sheets have been done already.
