Notating in the hypermeter makes things squishy.

yeah idk why I did this

[Latios212]

Because we can never have enough Pokémon sheets.

[Oronoco]

And because you've made my day. )

Whoo! I like this song.

Man, this is an old sub. Let's get this one done!
A few things:
- Remove the "Pno." markings.
- Right-align the composers/arranger names.
- Italicize the arranger information.
- You could put a courtesy accidental on the A# in M. 9 of the right hand.

Excellent arrangement! Notes look great.

- Fixed
- It already is, at least according to the dialouge box.
- Fixed
- I don't think that's necessary since it's pretty clearly looping back to the beginning.

- Can you invert some chords so that they don't go below the bass? m. 6, 8, 14, 16 LH are kinda weird as is.
- I'm hearing Dnats in the m. 8 chord.
- I'm hearing Gnat as the bass in m. 16.
- Reason for the LH 9ths in m. 5 and 13? Just feels kinda weird because I don't see anything like that anywhere else.
- This would make the sheet really short, but you could do a first-second ending thing

Yeah you're right.

- I'm hearing Gnat as the bass in m. 16.

I'm, like, really ashamed of this mistake .-.

It already fits on one page so I don't feel the need.

Those 9ths are the tops of the chords that would normally play on the beat. The chords forms a melody of sorts (this is a common strategy composers use when choosing which inversion to use) and I guess it's easier if I just show you:

[MUS]

Measures 1-4 are w/e, 5-8 are really distinct with 5 and 6 being the most important. The 9ths are just parts of the chord that would of normally been omitted to keep important parts of the melody in tact. Changing the inversion in measures 6 and 14 would be a no-no imo because that would completely screw over the melody (the reason why that inversion was used.) I guess moving 8 and 16 up would be fine if you think it would sound better but assuming we're keeping 6 and 14 it kind of seems weird to change 8 and 16 for that reason.

[FireArrow]

I guess I could do something like this if you really wanted but I'm not a fan.

[Latios212]

Haha I just didn't like how the chord drops below the bass, but if you think keeping the chords in the inversion you want is more important it's your sheet so I'd say alright

Last quick thought I forgot to mention before - I would personally make either the 2nd or 4th system 4 measures (as opposed to the first, which is doubly squished because of the indent). But again, totally optional.

[FireArrow]

Yeah tbh that's objectively better. I'm lazy atm tho mebe tomorrow

[Latios212]

If you're still feeling lazy, just pick one and I'll do it for you.

[FireArrow]

I have conquered the laziness.

If you're still feeling lazy, just pick one and I'll do it for you.

wtf no this is my burden

[Maelstrom]

I find this acceptable.
