I think the title should be changed to just "Cherrygrove City".

I'm wasn't 100% sure whether to choose the "Yes, but keep the original arranger listed" or "Yes, this is entirely re-arranged" option because well... I started off editing the file thinking I'd just change the bassline and formatting, but then there were way more wrong notes than I had originally thought, and there was a missing voice in the right hand so I rewrote everything with two layers and... well... you guys decide.

[Tobbeh99]

Nice Arrangement! One small thing:
I would remove the courtesy accidental in measure 13 on Db, I find it quite unnecessary since you just played Db the previous chord. 

[Latios212]

Where do I have a courtesy accidental in measure 13?

[Tobbeh99]

ops i meant measure 12, however it only appears in the mus. file.

[Latios212]

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. I don't think that should be there either, but idk how to get rid of it...

[Tobbeh99]

Go to layer 2, select the note, then press shift+ctrl+-(hyphen). That's the way you show/hide accidentals in Finale.
(That's how you do it in Windows, I don't know how to do it in Mac if you have one, but you could just google it in case.)

[Latios212]

Alright, fixed. Thanks!

[Maelstrom]

Or you could just press h to show a courtesy accidental

[Bespinben]

If you have qualms about whether or not to keep dahans as the arranger or not, maybe what you could do is, after writing the exact transcription, keep his awesome modulated variation and ending, and write it off as "Optional ending". We'll see if this idea flies with Olimar and Deku though Even if it doesn't, just the last 2-4 measures would be cool to keep as an ending, as I have a soft-spot for that iv6 -> I resolution.

[Latios212]

I'll leave that for you updaters to decide!

Did I do a good job transcribing though? ^_^ I kinda would like to have my name on site again... but if not, that's okay, there'll be more to come!

[FireArrow]

Measure 2: Ab -> G#
Measure 4: Gb -> F#

Don't quote me on that.

EDIT: Yeah nvm :3

[The Deku Trombonist]

I reckon you can leave your name on it. There are plenty of things that are different and have been corrected.

A couple of things:
-In bar 8 you've used 2 tied quavers but everywhere else you've used a crotchet. Consistency is your friend.
-Bar 2: That Ab needs respelling as a G# (chromatic neighbour note)
-Bar 4: The Gb needs respelling as an F# (same thing)

Edit: Ninja'd

[FireArrow]

^Huh, really? Are they just passing tones then, because I'm getting hooked up on the bass line (F# on top of Bb is really ugly.)

[Latios212]

Waaaugh I just replaced the files to do what Deku said.

Also the playback is playing some of the notes in the second layer funny, I don't know why. (But the sheet is fine.)
