I know nothing about Dragon Quest music, so... source for the track title?
- This says "Rondo"
- This says "Rondo Royale"
- They do both agree on the Japanese title, "王宮のロンド", which Google tells me translates to something like "Royal Palace Rondo"
Thoughts? :P

About the sheet, just a few small comments:
- Put the treble clef change immediately preceding the Ab at the end of m. 10 (the subtle clef change at the end of m. 8 is easily missable or forgettable)
- I think the second half of the sheet (m. 9+) might be better in Cm (three flats) to parallel the C major of the first section. It begins on Cm in m. 9, resolves back to Cm in m. 15, and sets up the return to C major at the beginning via the D7 > G chords at the end
- I'd suggest extending the 8va in m. 12 one more eighth note, over the G, to preserve the contour of that run

From what I've seen, Smash Ultimate (which I think is a suitable reference,) uses the names from the Symphonic Suites, and Dragon Quest III, which has two different suites of its own, uses the title "Rondo" for both. Besides, "Rondo" is the most common title I've come across, so that's good enough for me.

- sure thing, but I'll have to manually inch the clef over to the left slightly
- good point, that was my plan originally, but for some reason I thought F minor was a good idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- another good point, I'll fix that

Files fixed.

It almost sounds like m14 LH beat 2 should be F-Eb-D-C, but it just isn't. Well, I don't have anything to add, this looks pretty great so I'll accept
