Looks good! Just a few small things from me:
- m. 8 beat 1 top layer sounds like a higher G instead of a D?
- m. 8/22 second half - there's F and E on top of these offbeat chords, did you omit them for simplicity? (I ask because the chords are present unaltered everywhere else where possible)
- The inner ties in m. 16/18 could probably be adjusted a bit so they don't blend in with the ledger lines as much
- m. 29 - the A# would probably be simpler as a Bb within the key signature
- Courtesy Bb in m. 31?
- This is a stylistic choice that I'm fine with you keeping if you want, but neither the bass note nor the melody actually carries over from m. 44 into 45 in the original.

Not sure about this one, I still think it's a D.  That G sounds like it's moving to an F on the next bit, i.e. its just part of the chords that I've already written in the left hand.

I've adjusted these chords to make them more like the original.  The simplification was unnecessary I think.

All fixed.  I just wasn't really paying much attention in 45 I guess.

I think we had a similar disagreement in another FFX sheet (and harmonically the situations are very similar).  I guess I still see this as a chromatic passing note so it makes more sense to me as an A#, even if it isn't in the key signature.



Files updated.  Thanks for checking!

Ah got it! Yeah that makes sense, I see what you were going for now.

Sure, sounds good~

Looking really good! Just two small things I noticed:
-Maybe you could write 'con pedale' at the start? I think you were intending that the player should use a pedal, but it's not clear from the notation until m40.
-m29: I don't hear the bass note D restruck on beat 3.

Thanks for having a look!

I wasn't intending the performer to use pedal aside from what is necessary to play what is written, so I don't really want to put a 'con pedale' indication in.

It's quieter than the following bass notes, but I think I hear a D struck on beat 3.  There's definitely something on that beat and if I take out the bass note then nothing will happen there.

Ah alright, I figured it would work pretty well since the guitar is also letting notes ring. Either way works though, so leaving it out is fine too ^^

Leaving the bass note in sounds good too, so I'll accept!
