Hi! Sorry for the wait. I just wanted to prioritize my other sheet for the update. Now that it is on-site, I can shift my focus back to this one.

That being said, I'm currently out of town. I intend to get back to this as soon as I can. :)

Files are updated.

Thank you Latios!  ;D

Quote from: Latios212 on February 04, 2024, 01:22:24 PMWonderful! And I'm really sorry it took me another month to finish checking the notes. Here's my remaining feedback!

No worries! :)

Quote- The RH lower layer beat 1 of m. 53 sounds like an F# instead of D
Did you mean m. 54? If so, I changed it per your feedback.

Quote- Last RH note of m. 57 sounds like G instead of E
Are you suggesting G-D (currently written as E-D) in beat 4? I don't hear the G. :S

QuoteNot a lot, everything you have here is really solid! I mostly just have one last thing to comment on. It feels like the presence of harmonies in much of the right hand across pages 4-6 is inconsistent at times. You've already kicked into full gear at m. 49 and started including fuller harmonies in the right hand, but there are times where you have exposed octaves and single notes which feel a bit out of place when it feels like there should be a fuller texture everywhere throughout this section. Let me know if you want any specific suggestions, but what I'd recommend is generally just more harmony (that should be pretty easy to fit to the chords) on the places where you have the melody in octaves or single notes.

Added the harmonies in this section, though I'm open for any suggestions.

Everything else has been addressed.

Thanks Latios212. I'm happy to spread joy... (er...sadness and hopefulness I guess haha) of this song. Mitsuda is an absolute legend.

Everything has been fixed. :D

Quote from: Latios212 on January 02, 2024, 06:00:07 PMAny particular reason the left hand is split into two layers there? It makes sense but it's a bit odd to see it like that just in the first two measures and then going back to one layer for the rest of the section.

Oh right. I believe I was playing around with the layers. My first version had the second layer in the RH, then I moved it over to the LH. I must have forgotten to revert it back.

^all done. Thanks for your help, Bloop! ;D

Everything has been updated accordingly. :D

For other updaters: I received further clarification on the stem directions and rests from Bloop in a private message.

Quote from: Bloop on December 23, 2023, 04:46:05 AM-m63: Similarly here in beat 3-4, I'd arrange the trumpets instead of the strings (so D, E and C# in the same rhythm as in beat 1-2)

I think I hear E, D, B.

I struggled a bit on the placement of the lyrics as they tended to clash with many things. It is not perfect.

As always, feedback is appreciated. Have a great day!

Quote from: Bloop on August 13, 2023, 05:55:33 AMHeya, sorry for the long wait on this! Focus on this sheet must've drifted by different updaters planning to take a look, so I'll go into this a little bit more freshly.

No worries. It happens! Thanks for taking the time to review my sheet.

Quote-m3-13: I don't think you need to write the melody out in unisons: some notes you left out for the flute part are still there (albeit a bit harder to hear sometimes) in the original too, and it doesn't really convey much new info to the player. I think the only notes that definitely are not in the flute are the A and B in m6, and the second D in m9. Those sound like they're part of the L.H. arpeggios instead, so you could add them to the L.H. instead to keep them out of the way of the melody.

Makes sense. The piano and flute parts have been separated to LH and RH respectively. Also, I added a couple cross-staff beamings in m12-13. I also put the arpeggiated chords in the RH in m10 & m14 for visual purposes.

Quote-m20: I hear an F# in the piano at beat 3.5 tpp
-m27: The staccatos in the L.H. in this section are clashing with the notes, is this a pdf export thing? If you need to reset their position in Finale, you can use the backspace when they're selected.
-m33: The two quarter notes at beat 1 look pretty weird as they are right now (almost like a note cluster). I think it'd look better if the top note pointed upwards and the bottom note downwards.
Fixed.

Quote-m38: At beat 4 I hear a voice in the piano going E-F#, and the bass goes down B-A. Maybe you could change the L.H. to include these voices in some way?
I'm unsure about this? :S

Quote-m42: The chords in this bar are F#sus4 and F# (starting on beat 1 and beat 3). Maybe you could include the B of the F#sus4 and the A# of the F# in the L.H.?
-m43: The B-D-D in the R.H. isn't playable, or only playable by people with very large hands. You could move the B up an octave, or add a roll marking if you don't wanna change the octaves. With the roll marking, you could even add the low octave of the B in the L.H., and have the roll extend from the G in the L.H. all the way to the top D in the R.H.
-m44 and other places: Make sure to leave a liiittle bit of space between two notes in two layers, if one of them is in-between a chord of the other layer. So in this measure that'd mean moving the quarter note of the top layer a little bit to the right.
Fixed.

Quote-m48: Unmeasured tremolos in piano music should be written with the tremolo tool (check this manual if you haven't used it before: the tremolo you need is the one in the second picture). Also, the staccatos in beat 3 should be below the notes, in both the L.H. and R.H.
Fixed. I also changed the tremolos in m70 & m75.

Quote-m49 and on: There are some parts in this section that push the boundaries of what an intermediate player can easily play: make sure there are no large intervals (like m50 beat 3), quick double-layered runs (m52 beat 3-4) and quick leaps from one note to the next (m51 beat 1-2). You can also decide to leave out some voices if they don't add much and get in the way, both visually or with playing (like m63). Let me know if you can't really figure out what to do in certain places!
Done. I simplified this section, mainly to accentuate the melody.

Quote-m75: The tremolo between the B and Cn should be a trill marking, possible with a Cn grace note before to make sure the player won't trill with a C#.
-m76: The grace notes before the end chord should be B-Cn-Dn-E.
Done.

Hi! Thank you for your patience.

Mostly everything should be addressed. I didn't make any adjustments for the second to last bullet point.

Changes I made to the sheet, in particular to your final bullet point.
-m33: added second violin part in second layer
-m49-64: added brass section in second layer. As a result of adding ff to m35, I changed the ff in m49 to fff
-m76: changed from quarter to eighth note

Hi Static! Apologies for the late reply. I'm afraid I won't be able to work on this for quite some time, so I will go ahead and close this topic for a while—I'll revisit this as soon as I can! Thank you for your time and patience.
