There's a lot of soft high notes in this and I wanted to try and capture them as much as I can to convey the space of the piece. Because of the nature of the composition, it is a little hard to make the melody clear in notation.
At m10 there's a really dissonant note playing and I was having trouble deciding if I liked it or not (as well as what exactly are the notes) so I'd like input there

Ooh nice one! Not checking the whole sheet at the moment, but peeking at:

I'm not entirely sure if I know what you're talking about but it sounds like there might be something like a Dn, or maybe closer to a Db. I don't think that would sound good on piano but while I'm here you could make the dissonance of the Dbmaj7 a bit more prominent by adding a C to the left hand on beat 1 a major seventh above the Db. There's also an Ab above the F you could write in as well.

Yeah that's the one. I wasn't able to tell if that was a note being played or if it was just some kind of auditory illusion, but it does sound better without it.

• Your BPM marking is using the engraver font for the notehead, newly we'd like the Maestro set of fonts to be used instead. You can change the font to Maestro Times, the alt code for the quarter note is 0140 (or Œ) and we recommend font size 16.
• the con pedale text is a little too close to the bottom notes, mind moving it down a little?
• I'm not super keen on including the high strings, as they're very quiet in the original and they seem to fall behind in the second half of the sheet. However, I assume you want to keep them (and that's why they're there), but maybe they would be better all in a separate layer than the saxophones?
• The F in the LH of m7 sounds tied to me
• I understand what you're going for with the fermatas and various note endings, but I think that what's currently written is complicated when it doesn't need to be. Do you think open ties and fermatas on rests would do the job, removing the caesuras and half notes?

Notes look good after the first few listenthroughs but I'll check again once the strings and fermata points are addressed.

Also, thoughts on including the low altitude version?

Sorry it took me so long! This month was quite busy and stressful 😅

Also, thoughts on including the low altitude version?

I went ahead and added the low altitude version

I originally arranged it without the high strings but it felt very empty, so I added them. And I only put the saxes in a separate layer because layer 2's stem naturally points down :p (but I don't really see a difference with changing their layers). I've tried including the high strings in the later parts but I found it to be too dynamically dense on the piano, so I excluded them to make it softer.

It is, but there's another instrument that plays that note (it harmonizes with the melody)

Also, thoughts on including the low altitude version?

When including different versions, do I need to put another title for that page? I just changed the small title that shows up on every page to say low altitude, but is there another way I should communicate that? Also, should I just have both sections repeat, or repeat the whole sheet (I kinda wanna repeat the whole sheet because I think it'd make more sense musically but I'm not sure)
