MY MEGA MAN SENSES ARE TINGLING

m.1/m.2: I'd drop the LH note on beat 4 entirely.
m.2: The first note of the RH second layer should be a D.
m.11-16: The LH is rather messy. I'd choose one of the channels to include instead of trying to dislocate your fingers in order to play both.
m.17: I'd put something in the left hand to simulate those classic Mega Man tom drums. I normally like to include those if they're used since they're played by the NES's triangle channel, separate from the percussion provided by the noise channel.


this is really really good

is it bad that once I got to measure 3 I heard Pollyanna and Snow Halation simultaneously

I'm already used to it so it sounds a little weird without them. I left them there since that's what it's like in the original, but I changed the note lengths. The individual playing it could change it to the way they see fit. I also fixed the wrong note

m.11-16: The LH is rather messy. I'd choose one of the channels to include instead of trying to dislocate your fingers in order to play both.

I opted for the bottom one and got rid of the 2nd layer

m.17: I'd put something in the left hand to simulate those classic Mega Man tom drums. I normally like to include those if they're used since they're played by the NES's triangle channel, separate from the percussion provided by the noise channel.

Done, and thank you!

- I'd raise and show the layer 2 quarter rests in m. 1-2.
- The accel. would be better positioned on measure 15.
- m. 3: last eighth notes in middle layer is G# not F#.
- You could afford to move the ped. markings down a bit. They're a bit close to the notes in places.
- Raise those eighth rests in m. 5 back to center staff.
- In m. 7-10 I would recommend flipping the top layer back up and displaying the rest in layer 2. Just looking at the PDF it's a little ambiguous which voice beat 4 belongs to.
- Keys from 11-end, it modulates from D->E->F->G, not A. You could write out the key changes, or leave everything in G perhaps.
- At the end, is it supposed to be a white key glissando? Also it overlaps the natural on the low G (currently).
- Check the composer spelling?

Went back and looked at this and I agree. It's Takashi Tateishi, with two i's.

Idk why I even put it as A in the first place, but I wrote out the key changes

- At the end, is it supposed to be a white key glissando? Also it overlaps the natural on the low G (currently).

Yep, since that's the best way I can think of to emulate the bend at the end. And since I changed the key signature there aren't any overlaps

- Check the composer spelling?

My bad...

It should be good now, thanks!

Holy carp, this really does sound like Pollyanna.

Accepted; great job.
