Hi fjeanneau and mitchfloyd,

I was going to transcribe this, but I'm not sure whether it would be allowed on the site, since this site only for arrangements, not transcriptions. I'm not even sure if it would be legal, since there's an official sheet music book for this game (linked below).

If any moderators or more knowledgeable members could elaborate on this, I'd appreciate it.

Kricketune54, thank you for your response!

I have implemented all of your suggestions.

• Rewrote m1-6 right hand
• Added grace note to m4 LH
• Fixed m6 LH
• rewrote m7
• Fixed misaligned rests
• M20 and m28 moved top voice down one octave
• Changed tied quarter notes into half notes

For m7, I added an arpeggio in the LH to keep the rhythm of the acoustic guitar. Also, with just chords playing in unison, it sounds a bit bare. I would reserve that clean sound for the resolution in the next measure.

Let me know what you think of m1-6. The middle voice is just for syncopation. It loosely follows the echo of the acoustic guitar, which I think is an important sound in the intro.

Looking forward to the next round of feedback!

Update:
I rewrote the entire right hand.
Now that both the right and left hand have been replaced, I don't think there are many notes that survived in the original submission! You weren't kidding when you said there was a lot to correct!

After nuking the right hand to the bare melody, I re-harmonized the notes.
This time I tried to draw more directly from the OST. It should be more accurate now.

Let me know what you think when you have the time to review.

Kricketune54, thanks for the feedback!

I have made the following changes:

• Increased spacing of m1-8
• Changed m9-16 LH to bass as prescribed
• Changed m9-16 RH to include melodies as prescribed
• Extended m17-32 LH bass structure to the rest of the song
• Nuked RH m17-end

Here is the previous version for reference.

Kricketune54, thank you for the feedback!

I have made the following changes.

• Edited m1-16 right hand to reflect synth chords in OST
• Edited m17 beat 1 and similar measures' right hand notes to quarter notes
• Edited m17-32 left hand to reflect bass in OST
• Removed m69 to end and added repeat sign back to m9
• Removed copyright from pages 2 and 3 in .mus file
• Reduced size of con pedale text

Unresolved:

• m20 and m28 unsure what to change about inner notes

Note:
When I made this I was more focused on musicality and feeling rather than note accuracy. In the song's intro, you hear many voices + percussion, each doing their own thing. I added syncopated melodies both the L&R hand to recreate that effect. Throughout the rest of the song, the left hand also doesn't follow any particular voice either, It's more of a compromise between rhythm, chords, and the other voices. I get that NinSheetMusic strives for accuracy to the source material. If you want a more true to source rendition of "At Dawn", take a look at the arrangement by "Eleventh Floor".

He uses a drone note in the left hand for the syncopated rhythm, and to make up for the slightly singular tone, he adds another voice to the right hand which may or may not be playable in the later sections. There's no sheet music referenced in his video unfortunately. If you like his version better, I can make changes to my sheet to reflect that and credit him.

Here's my original version for reference.

Again, thanks for taking the time to review my sheet. I'm looking forward to getting more feedback!

Kricketune54, thank you for reviewing my submission!

I have regrouped the notes and edited the titles in both of my submissions. I have also made numerous other format edits.
Please let me know if there is anything else I need to fix.
