Hi! Welcome to NinSheetMusic! First things first: be sure to provide a Youtube link to the original song when you submit a piece so we all have a reference to work with. I'll be nice and post it here for you:


I haven't gone and checked the accuracy of your notes, but I will offer these suggestions in the meantime:

  • From the key change onward, you've omitted the bass part entirely. I think it would sound a lot better & a bit more cohesive if you included it. You can always fiddle around with the melody by moving it up an octave, or putting it in the R.H., or messing with the accompanying organ, etc. etc.
  • In (what initially seems to be) some of the drum breaks, you can actually hear the bass. It's a bit quiet, but it's there. You should definitely add it if you can.
  • Speaking of which, be sure you have the bass transcribed as accurately as you can. I can hear one or two places where it isn't. Example: in m.18, beats 3.5 & 4.5 sound like they should be an octave higher (though, be sure to actually check, since I can't tell just by ear)
  • Also, maybe add staccatos to notes in the bass part?
  • In m.1 & 2, any particular reason you have the L.H. playing octaves? Considering it's not how the original goes.
  • You need to add a double barline for the key change.
  • Add a dynamic marking to the beginning. mf would work just fine here.
  • Composer should be Stewart Copeland & Ryan Beveridge (unless you can show me an original source that says otherwise)
  • Likewise, the publisher should be "Sony Computer Entertainment, Universal Interactive Studios © 2000"
  • You are missing the title of the song at the top of the second page. (See: Second+ Pages)
  • The first system needs to be indented.
If you need help with any of the formatting (because it's pretty obvious you're not a native Finale user), ask for help in this thread and we'll be sure to help you out.

Otherwise, you've got a pretty good start!
