ok

[SlowPokemon]

...A Gb is the same thing as F#...
Just saying.

Unfortunately, and I'm not trying to be mean, this just isn't true at all. Jompa is right. Not that it matters if you're not super serious about music though.

I mean, whether or not it's important to him, if he's going to arrange sheets/discuss those of others, it's important that he knows it anyways.

Your use of layers could be cleaned up.

Is this better? https://www.dropbox.com/s/imij6ajyn3pcokv/3%20AM.zip

And there is no point using sharps in Gb-major

Are you talking about the sharp (only sharp) in bar 1?

[Jompa]

Here, I went through your sheet and made changes that I think are appropriate, and listed them at the side:
["3 AM" With Changes]
You can just use that sheet if you want, but ofc remove the text at the side.

Thanks


In this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dattFKQdRrg  (0:25)
which timing is correct in this finale file (measure 1 or 2)?

EDIT: Here is the Fully Fixed version of 3 AM: https://www.dropbox.com/s/imij6ajyn3pcokv/3%20AM.zip

They're both totally correct, as long as you state that it's swing (sixteenths/eights respectively). Swing sixteenths is much less commonly used though.
I say you should use the second one (with eights), because that way you can assign swing eights and finale won't have any problems with the playback (to get swing sixteenths set up you'd have to be writing in a /8 time signature, which is kinda inappropriate. And besides, swing sixteenths in finale doesn't even work well.).
And if you go with that, may I suggest you put the tempo on the halfnote (88bpm), to get that slow beat feel the song gives off? Personally I think that'd be good. But just don't write it in alla breve, because then Finale tries to playback swing fourths, which is horrible.
wow.. writing this I realize Finale suck at playing swing..

[Sebastian]

Thanks a Lot 


Oh...and heres LoopdeLoop: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uximxyk7x6fh592/LoopdeLoop%20Galaxy.zip

Fixed the beaming of notes in measure 7 (and all others with those same notes)
Fixed the beaming of notes in measures 31 and 33.
Fixed the accidentals (I think )
and added the inner voice (its even playable )

I will have 1 AM done in 1 half hours

[Jompa]

The only thing left to complain about with LoopdeLoop is the difficulty, after you added those offbeats. I can't imagine anyone playing that lefthand-part perfectly in that tempo.
Wouldn't be to off of me to say that this song would be more appropriate as a duet instead, but whatever. There are songs on the site with crazier difficulty than this.

[Sebastian]

Ok. I'll see what Deku thinks or Olimar (unless he left )

Do you mean how it goes D, F#A, then lower A? Because that's a fairly standard bass line that's not at all hard to master. The left hand in this song seems fine.

[Jompa]

in that tempo? I know I can't do it.

I guess I'm just used to Grant Kirkhope who uses it everywhere. It's certainly possible, even if it takes practice!

[Sebastian]

I can play it.
