Just kidding...

Here's the REAL video:


Note: I decided not to use the glissando in measure 29. That's all!

The song seems fine, but when I downloaded the midi, it was over 16 minutes long and the repeats weren't right. The pdf looked fine and I haven't had the chance to look at it in finale, but the midi needs to be fixed. I've looked at in musescore because for some reason finale isn't playing things right now, and I see why the midi's messed up. It's the way you structured the repeats. I don't know why it lasts 16 minutes in the midi, though.

I don't know either; I've never really been good with midis.

I fixed the midi in musescore, but I couldn't hear how it sounded in finale because finale isn't working playbackwise right now.

Thanks, hiddencharacter. Now, how's the note accuracy, anyone?

Now I'm not very good at playing piano, so this may just be because I'm a novice, but in measures 29-32, the leaps in beat 3 seem like they probably wouldn't be the best for playing. And I'm not positive about the notes even being in the song.

EarthBound reference? :P

About midi files: the current .mus/.musx in the submission must be the direct source of any MIDI or PDF export, to keep everything synchronized. Get rid of the repeat bar at the end. Make a DS at the end and choose "Jump on pass(es)" instead of "always jump", and select the right measure number (5) for the destination. Click on the end repeat bar in m. 8 and check "Reset on repeat action". That'll fix your playback and .midi export.

Fix the m. 2 rhythms. You know what to do.

You can save the keysig change for after the double barline in 16-17.

Haven't checked any notes yet, but I need to say this again - playability. This sheet is too demanding in some places, most notably that figure in m. 5. That's a large range that the dyads cover, not to mention the repeated notes between each dyad. To simplify this a bit, here's a suggestion: take out the bottom note of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th dyads to reduce the overlap and bring the range down to one octave. Look over other places too, like the intro.

And m. 29 looks funny. I'll get back to you about that one later.

In addition to the stuff above, I would highly recommend two things:

First, please change the tempo marking. I'm all for tempo markings, they're great, (even though admittedly I don't use them lol), but if they're hard to understand for the average piano player, they shouldn't be included.

Also, you should change the staff size with the % tool thing and space the systems out a bit so the crescendos can be more easily attributed to the top staff. Right now it's a little hard to tell what staff they're attached to.

Thanks for all the feedback! I'll get to it asap! :D
