Help! / Re: The Arranging Checklist™

Quote from: Sebastian on December 31, 2016, 12:03:03 PMIX. Make certain that your arrangement is playable to the human body, not a Finale robot.

Last night I went through the classic Metroid Brinstar theme and found numerous mistakes so I put a bunch of effort into getting all 3 voices properly transcribed (https://musescore.com/user/15303996/scores/3382306). The issue is some of these corrections put the voices just too spread out to play.

Is there a place on the site to host accurate, but unplayable transcriptions? I like the challenge of arranging, but are there best practices to follow? E.g. if a middle voice goes too low is is better to cut out, transpose it up, or simplify the bass to keep it?

I also have to do download Finale and learn yet another piece of software, but it can be done.
