1. please fix title, I'm too lazy
2. some issues cannot be fixed by me, mainly stuff that cannot be done in musescore and the font.

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?

[Stell]

I can do so for the pdf and midi, but not the mus

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.

[Stell]

Understood Latios. I will get back to you on those

Updated the folder, replaced mscz with musxml to make conversion to mus easier. can't run finale notepad, so I can't convert it myself

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.
