Figured I'd try again with this one

Ah nice, looking a lot better than last time. I noticed your recent Breath of the Wild sheets all have "Arranged by Nacho2420" on them. Is it alright if we just stick with that for consistency's sake?

And dang... I didn't know Yasunori Mitsuda composed for Mario Party.

Nice sheet!

A couple things from me:
- Some of the dynamics need to be centered. There are some a little high. Go ahead and center them all.
- The site name should be http://www.ninsheetmusic.org/ with the correct capitalized letters and all.

Just taking a quick glance, there's a couple of spots where you should point out more clearly that the melody stops playing and that the accompaniment is being played instead, like m. 15-16.
In m.28 you could spell the 2nd dyad as F-Ab instead of G# to keep the rising thirds consistent.

Good look out!

I resized the accompaniment figures in the RH so it's more obvious when the melody ends

1 - Formatting
Maybe bump down the arranger and composer text a bit. It's floating pretty high now.
m76- the notch down for the repeat should be on the double barline, not after the key change
Speaking of repeats, I'm pretty sure 8va marks go below 1st/2nd repeat barlines, not above them
2 - Notes
RH
Why not put an octave on b1 of m72?

LH
m19-20 - Beat 4.5 of m19 should be a Bb and the next measure should be completely empty. A copy+paste error?
m24 should be completely empty.
What do you think about adding in the other voices in m25-32 and 41-43? It might make the bassline a little less empty, but as that's the feel you've gone for, it's up to you.
m48-55 should look like this: (Also in 78-89)

m56 and 56 both have a staccato'd F# on b4
m59 - b2 is a G, not an E
m94:


3 - Theory/Performance
Do you need the 2x above the repeat in m16?

Aside from this, the arrangement is solid. Great job with something so large.

1. All fixed!

2.
RH
m72 Originally thought it'd be easier for performance but after playing it myself the octave isn't that bad. I added it back in.

Fixed the note on m20

m24 originally added bass line to keep the motion going in place of the percussion only break, but to stay true to the original I took it out. 

m.25-32, 41-43 I did try adding the upbeat chords in the right hand and it made the melody very awkward to play..for transcription purposes I can put them in but will be borderline unplayable live.

m48-55/78-79 fixed!

m56 - do you mean the bottom G's on beat 1?

m59 fixed!

m94 fixed!

m16 - I put that there to differentiate the 3x repeat previously, although it is understood that 2x is always default when there's no marking otherwise. Let me know if I should delete.

Thanks for the thorough proofreading! This arrangement is a big one indeed.   


Maelstrom

Go through and make sure you made all the changes again. m24 was unchanged, as was m51-55 at the very least.

That's fine.

Yep, probably take it out because repeat signs imply 2x naturally, and no problem. Sorry it took so long.

Great work! Just a few small things from me:
- For the intro (m. 1-8) how about using some staccatos in the right hand?
- m. 11-12 differ from m. 35-36 in that the 8va is/isn't over the lower voice. Is that intentional?
- The Ped. is awfully close to the note in m. 76.
- In m. 76-77 you have the 8va below the repeat ending brackets but in m. 78 it's above. Perhaps try and keep it consistent.
- The tempo marking at m. 99 doesn't set the correct tempo for playback.

-I didn't put staccatos in 1-8 since it's so high in range some of the notes won't have dampers. It will be weird to have some of them ring and some of them be short.

-Fixed 11-12

fxed 76-77

-fixed the tempo change by making a new marking completely, not sure why playback did that before.

The files look the same as before. Are you sure you updated them?

(After that, we're good to go!)
