Should I keep the claiming system in place?

Yes. I feel better knowing that someone else won't try to arrange the same song as I am.
No. I'd like to arrange the songs I want on my time, not on someone else's whim.
Doesn't matter to me one way or the other.

I think I'll claim it. Might end up dropping it and/or Undertale if I don't have enough time.

Here's my first try on the Full Menu, but I'll need some feedback:

-I'm not sure about the two last measures, for the right hand
-I tried harmonics but since I usually suck at it, I'm in a doubt for measures 5 to 8. (I tried enhancing harmonics in transcribing the chords and arranging it too sound good)
-Formatting, am I doing it right?

I hear E D C for the last 3 notes of m.9 and m.11

I think you could make it fit 3 measures instead of 4.
Also are all the notes in the left hand stacatto?
Does this song loop in the game or no..?

Thanks fo the notes, I felt something wasn't that right, couldn't get my hand on it. ^^
I'm not sure it's possible to stack 16 beats in 3 measures...

As indicated, the left hand only plays staccato, I put it like that to lighten the formatting. It's not possible to indicate the same for the right hand because of the end of measure 2 (and 6) which is played legato.
I'll add repeat brackets, since it's a looped theme.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll be able to submit it thanks to mariolegofan and you! =)

I'll put you down for it. And for the record, if you do drop them, I won't hold it against you. This isn't a formal project at all.

Nyeh Heh Heh! - by Yug_Guy

- Those staccatos you have throughout the piece I would have as Staccatissimos. Those notes in the original are extremely short which is why I recommend these.
- The correct notes in the bass from measures 1-12 are C-Eb/G-C-F#/A-C-Eb/G-C-D/F#.
- Slurs would be perfect for the bass on beats 1 to 1.5, 2 to 2.5 etc.
- Instead of putting 32nd notes in measure 29 it'd look much cleaner as grace notes. Same with measures 15 & 16.
- For consistency, put the F in the right hand and put parenthesis around it.
- In measure 16, Dbs are C#s.
- Don't forget dynamics!
- Also, for future reference, don't be afraid to experiment with slurs and articulations. Those really make a piece!

Yug_Guy, you should look at my Bonetrousle arrangement for reference because the songs are so similar. I think the last note in 7 is an A natural, and the mordent in 20 should be an upper mordent. In mine, I hid most of the articulations and used a simile instruction to keep the score uncluttered.

I think you should really think about what each articulation means. What's the difference between staccato and staccatissimo? What's the difference between tenuto, slurs and unarticulated notes? Are these differences meaningful enough to include them at all, or do they needlessly complicate the piece?

You might wanna get these updated as well^

Staccatissimos indicate that the notes should be extremely separated and distinct.

Fixed the A natural, can't fix the mordent in Notepad.  :(

MLF already got most of these when he fixed it. I'm not super familiar with anything more advanced than staccatos, legatos, and accents (thus, the lower mordent). It's an acquired talent that I have yet to master.

He's asking you to use your own intuition and second guess what MLF did. He probably disagrees with his decisions but doesn't want to go around saying "I'm right, he's wrong" and rather let you decide what's best for your arrangement.

I agree^

Yug Guy, if you don't agree with me, it's not a big deal :P 
Feel free to speak up!


Also, I'd like to hear what Jester thinks.
