Yep, just hid the pedal markings and added 'con pedale'. Does it look right?

Sorry for the delay again, I had to re-do the document from the ground up because of issues with google drive.

Thanks for your clarifications, I've made a bunch of changes in line with your suggestions.

A change of my own is in m34, in order to accommodate the RH moving down an octave I moved the last two notes of the upper left hand voice down an octave as well, and in  order to make this less awkward I changed the clef of the bar to bass, and then I also included the last note of the previous bar in this clef change to be less awkward.

As for the pedal markings, I use the ones in the articulation tool, and they do affect playback for me.

I apologise for the long delay in replying. I just finished my final assignments for the first semester of University, but I'm all free now. Also, I haven't uploaded updated files for the midi and mus files because I'm having a strange problem where when finale tries to create those files they end up being unreadable and having zero bytes.

Anyways, thank you heaps for the detailed corrections. I've uploaded a pdf with all these corrections, as well as a string part that (hopefully) better reflects the strings in the original track. There were a few points I disagreed with you on;
- m6: I added a rest, however I don't think the staccato is necessary even in representing the original track, as they don't sound staccato to me. Idk, maybe the second one, but to me they sound like 2 eighth notes followed by a rest.
- m14: I don't hear the F4 on 4.75. Which part are you referring to?
- m16: I don't think the F4 is playable
- m22: I'm not sure what you mean by D4 on beat 3?
- m24: I think moving the G up an octave would be awkward for the rest of the bar
- m26: I'm not sure what you mean by "the F3 currently written at b1.75"
- m27: Although my original transcription of the bass on beat 3 and 4 was wrong, I disagree that the G3 on b3.5 is playable given the G3 in the upper left hand voice on b3.25
- m30: I think the D5 on b2.75 would clash with the RH
- m33: I think it would be better to keep the RH in the octave it is, as lowering it an octave would clash with the right hand notes and make it awkward to play

I've uploaded the latest version with your suggested changes and have also added the chords part.

Also thank you very much Dekkadeci for finding that! I'm not very familiar with video game music resources so thank you as well for introducing me to that website!

Thanks for the advice on making the composer credit more compact, I think it looks a lot better now! I've changed the left margin and double checked the title sizes and it should be all correct now. I also added a few more pedal indications that were missing.

Thanks, I fixed most of the problems with the formatting. The only thing you mentioned that I'm unsure about is the mini-title and page number positioning? They look correct to me but I'm happy to be told otherwise, with specific advise on how to fix it.

Thanks for the reply! I was busy the last few days, so sorry for the late reply.

I've edited my submission. I agree with most of your changes and have edited the score accordingly, the only two points I disagree on are these:
- I agree with your first point, and have removed the top octave from the melody. However for the string chords, I'm not sure how to write them in as they occupy a range that is already covered by the countermelody, and I can't think of a solution that isn't awkward.
- For your point about the clef changes in m28-34: before the ending, there isn't really an opportunity to change the clef in the left hand stave because of the sustained bass notes, however whenever the countermelody goes to a higher register I usually switch it to the right hand stave, both to indicate that it is to be played by the right hand and to avoid the ugliness of excessive ledger lines on the lower stave. For m28-m34, it's not convenient for the higher parts of the countermelody to be played by the right hand, so it remains in the left hand stave. However, if I were not to change the clef in these bars there would be excessive ledger lines, and since the sustained bass note is not an issue here like earlier in the piece, I think the best solution is to change the clef, even if it is slightly inconsistent.

I was also wondering if you noticed any specific aspects of the formatting that was incorrect. I did my best to follow to guide on this website, but if there are any problems please tell me so I can fix them.

Thanks for the reply! From now on I'll arrange my transcriptions for piano with two staves. Also, I didn't realise there was already a Shadow Man arrangement on the website. On the main site, if you go to Series>Mega Man>Mega Man 3, Static's arrangement isn't there. I'm new to this site so I still don't fully understand how to navigate it. In the future, how can I make sure that I'm not submitting music that has already been done before?

Piano Arrangements / offbrandwagner's arrangments
April 26, 2022, 06:19:50 AM
Hi, I'm a new member of this site. I was working on some Mega Man 3 arrangements a few months ago, so I thought I'd one of those, specifically "Shadow Man Stage", which hasn't been uploaded to this site yet. I've (tried to) attached the pdf, mus and mid files to this message (I'm not very tech savvy, so I might have linked them incorrectly).
Some notes:
- I've written the sheet music in 3 staves because it's a transcription rather than a piano arrangement. Would it be better for me to arrange the music for piano?
- The section I'm most unsure about is bars 33-40.
