Hello, I've just completed my first transcription and would like some feedback if possible please?
It's a transcription of Memories of You from Persona 3 by Kaedalus with a couple of my own additions to bring it closer to the original.
Original song:
Cover:
I've currently got it unlisted in Musescore since I'm not sure how to export it to finale yet.

Any feedback would be much appriciated as this is my first time doing something like this.
Thanks, Octo.
Managed to export to a Finale file but since I've not used Finale I know there are some changes still to make such as changing the pedal line to be in the correct format and some overlapping lines I need to fix but for now here are my files.

Since we do original transcriptions/arrangements and not transcriptions of other's pieces, I can say we won't host it on the site and I don't have the time to check notes. I do have a few notational suggestions, however, after looking at the PDF
-Tempo marks should start above the note that they correspond to. NOt sure what's going on with m17...
-m21 is kinda .... weird. I'm unsure what note is in which layer or what's even going on there. Was it a transfer error or something?
-Oh, and it's time to talk about note beaming. Yours is .... questionable at best. Here's a brief guide on it (https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/index.php?topic=10492.0). If you want something more comprehensive, take a look at this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6mWguApzAU) Take a good hard look at your piece, because there's a number of measures that have issues. Some examples, not including everything, are m1, m4, m18, m19, m20
-Please, please show rests in parts with 2 layers. It's really hard to figure out where the dotted quarter notes fall in m13-15 because there's simply not rests before or after them.
That's a start, at least.
That's fine, I understand that. Thank you for the feedback and I'll be sure to implement it!
