Continuing on with my Mega Man 2 replacements, we have "Quick Man Stage", theme of the most notorious stage in Mega Man history




You'll notice that I took a certain liberty from m. 9 through 16, and that involves replacing the original bass line with an inversion of the accompaniment pattern, rather than transcribing the bass line verbatim while omitting the accompaniment. This may come across as a controversial change, but with all due respect, I stand by it as this setup preserves the groove far better than the alternative. Aside from that, this is a pretty straight-forward arrangement.

Oh, and please change the sheet's title to "Quick Man Stage" :) Thanks!

This all looks good to me! No qualms, sounds fine and is reasonable to play.

Only correction to suggest, I think - second to last note in m. 19 LH should be G instead of F?

Only two small things I noticed:

-The accompaniment part in m15-16 seems to break for the echo effect for the melody, but I assume you kept the L.H. the same for consistency?
-m20: I hear a C below the Eb on beat 3 too

Much appreciated.

- that's right; I didn't see any point in changing the bass line for a measure and a half, so I kept it going as-is
- I didn't even notice that re-strike, thank you for pointing that out.

Files are updated, thank you Bloop and Deku!
