As you can see above, the only non-extended SNES version upload on youtube is very crusty-sounding, so here's a clean MP3 rip from Zophar's domain

Title/composer info

Looks awesome. Have you considered including the m. 4 figure in the last measure since the RH isn't doing anything there? Other than that, only thing I have to mention is that sometimes I've sometimes seem people around here align swung eighths with triplets, but not sure if that's more trouble than it's worth here.

[Static]

Yeah that sounds great, added that to m32.

Regarding the swing/triplets thing, I used to do that a lot myself, but a lot of swing music (especially at faster tempos like this) isn't actually exact triplets. It's more of a general feel, so I would prefer to leave it as is.

[Latios212]

Yep, makes sense here, just thought I'd mention. Everything looks good!

edit: you could end the 8va earlier in m. 31

lmao m26-27 is this going to be the first sheet on site to (almost) contain "The Lick"?

• I feel like the pulse of this is easier felt and read with the tempo written as half note = 93.
• On the recurring rhythm for m4 RH beat 4.0, I hear a Gn above the current Dn.

I feel like there's got to be some other tracks that have it, but I can't think of any off the top of my head...

Typically jazz pieces like this are written in 4/4 and given tempos in quarters, even if they can be felt in halves. I've seen charts with tempos of 300 or greater lol. It's more of a stylistic choice than a musical one, but I'd prefer to keep it in this sheet.

I hear that too, but this is a really weird case. That Gn is actually not being played in the keyboard part, it plays over the bass channel. It's essentially a weird overtone/distortion thing that's there because of how the sample was compressed. If you listen to the PS1 version here, which is 99% the same MIDI sequence, you can see how it's "supposed" to sound. Or you can check the SPC file here. I don't think it's necessary to include.

I think you may have had this exact point before - I was thinking either or works in this situation so good to stay as is.

Weird case indeed! I Listening to the PS1 version I hear what you mean.

Nothing else from me, so I will now accept
