Not a question about the sheet (or directed at you since you didn't create the title information for this game), but shouldn't Yooka-Laylee be under the Banjo-Kazooie section on site?
Ah, good question! Yooka-Laylee is independent from the Banjo-Kazooie series. It is technically created by the same people, but completely different companies (Banjo being Rare and Yooka being Playtonic). The only similarities is that it is a 3D platformer with a duo protagonist (like Banjo-Kazooie).
Two things:
- In M.22, that 8va gets really close to the deep notes in M.23. I'd recommend either making it shorter to wrap around the notes it's actually affecting, or remove it entirely, considering you're letting the left hand notes go that low in the following measures anyway.
- From M.39-46, would it sound nice to put some arpeggio articulations onto the RH chords? I'm hearing a bit of that in the original song.
Wonderful sheet. Can't wait to see more.

Well, it's not uncommon for a game in a series to be developed by a different developer. We also have a spiritual successor listed under the original series on site: Bravely Default.
Anyway, I'm not trying to argue a point about whether or not it should technically be classified as part of the same series (since you clearly know a lot more about these few games than I do); rather I just imagine that someone visiting the site looking for Yooka-Laylee sheet music would be more inclined to check the Banjo section rather than Other. But I could be wrong. :P

tbh what if we couldnt just put a few sheets, like that and others that might be in a similar situation, in multiple places

It's different when the notes are in octaves than when they are alone; they're easier to read, which is why there is only an 8vb in M. 22. I could just shorten it, but it's not really that huge of a deal.

I thought of that too, but they are too uneven. Those pizzicato stringed instruments don't "roll" up or down, but they are all played at roughly the same time while slightly off. I articulated that with a staccato.

Oh, ok. I didn't know that. It really doesn't matter to me haha.

I guess so. I didn't know spiritual successors were classified under the game series they succeed. Really doesn't matter to me either way. Anyone else have any thoughts?
It may be a spiritual successor, but it is not part of the same franchise, which is how the sheets are organized on the site.

How about extending the 8vb to be from m. 15-22?
Updated.
My first impression is that it needs much, much more room. Places like m31 give the quarters and the 8ths equal spacing. Flats in m47 are really close to stems. I'd recommend either sizing it down a bit or swapping the notehead font to maestro if you haven't already. It's a problem, but rearranging the systems might be overcompensating.
Oh, right. Whoops. I got this updated a while ago^
Forgot to post about it 'til now.
Bump.
LOL The same day you bumped this is the same day I submitted my Yooka-Laylee arrangement (Moodymaze Marsh), haha!
Whoa! Cool, man! I'm definitely gonna have to check that arrangement out.
Also I have a quick question:
I arranged the Jungle World sheet music a while ago, but we now know the name of the sheet music and all. Would it be fine if I submitted a replacement that just changed a few things to the text in the music and get a complete title change?
That won't be necessary. No need to clog up one of your submissions when I can just update that for you in a pinch. : )
Was there something other than the title you were looking to change?
Nah, the title in the .mus file and the title that it shows on the webpage was all I wanted to add.
I made another Yooka-Laylee arrangement as well that I forgot to upload a while back (Uphill Battle) which I may upload as well! :)

Alright. I'll definitely get that updated then.

Awesome! Looking forward to it. : )
This sheet is looking real neat, nice job!
One thing you could do is use a couple more double barlines to note the different sections like between m. 22-23 but that's totally up to you if you want to or not.
After some discussion on Discord, it's been decided that this sheet is ready.
Great work!
