There's not really much I have to say about this one, except three things:

- I need someone to make sure I made the best judgement possible about the chords in the last section
- does the last measure work?
- can I disable the built-in ritardando on the fermata articulation? There's no tempo change up to it and I'd like my playback to match that

Just taking a peek right now, but I'd strongly recommend using 6-measure systems. It's very spread out right now and I think the pace that this piece moves is more suited to a more compact layout. (It also fits perfectly on one page!)

Sure, I can do that. It looks nicer that way, thank you; files updated.

Biggest observation I have about this one is the disappearance of the main melody in m. 15-21. There's nothing wrong with what you wrote, but is the top melody not possible to include or prioritize?

Small suggestion: moving the F to the LH in m. 4/8 because it's already in range of what the LH is playing.

It all looks good to me!

Don't think I've done that before. Maybe try creating a new articulation with the fermata symbol and see if the playback is the same?

It's a setting under Human Playback. MIDI/Audio > Human Playback > Human Playback Preferences... > Tempo Variations > Uncheck "Ritardando Before Fermatas"

- the main melody felt like it was moving slower than the line below it, and it felt hard to determine if it was really the main line or not, but it's a quick fix
- gotcha, I can do that

- thanks for that! Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks, but I still feel like I hear an even slighter delay...

What you have right now is fine, but I think something like this works quite nicely:

It's something to consider, anyway.

The only other thing I noticed is that I think there's a G on top of the F-C dyad at the end of bar 26.

Everything else looks great!  It's a cool piece and now I've got the melody stuck in my head.

- I think that's a perfect way to combine all three voices! Consider it done.
- you got it; I'll go ahead and write that in

Files updated. Thanks, Libera!
