Ah nice to see this one get arranged, it's very soothing...

• Starting at m2 LH: I'd put a slur or tenuto on the bass notes so it's clear they should be played longer than the other notes.
• m26: Do you want a senza pedale here? You have a marking hidden, but then you have one in m2 for some reason... I think it would make more sense just to keep the one at the end of m25.
• Some of the grace note slurs look a little strange (m17, 26, 27), you should try to get them to have a similar contour to the others.
• m28: You can move that 2nd layer rest up a bit.
• The note groupings are inconsistent between places like m7-8 and m17 (dotted quarters vs tied quarters), but I'm personally fine with how it looks. Up to you if you want to change it.

Yep! One of my many favorites from the game... thanks for checking!

• Starting at m2 LH: I'd put a slur or tenuto on the bass notes so it's clear they should be played longer than the other notes.

Got these things. Tweaked some spacing as well around some grace notes (and also unbeamed a few groups of three eighth notes towards the end)

• The note groupings are inconsistent between places like m7-8 and m17 (dotted quarters vs tied quarters), but I'm personally fine with how it looks. Up to you if you want to change it.

I changed measures 8 and 15 so it's more apparent where beat 4 is, it kind of looked odd before... the rest I left as is.

• m26: Do you want a senza pedale here? You have a marking hidden, but then you have one in m2 for some reason... I think it would make more sense just to keep the one at the end of m25.

Actually no... it's needed for those last few measures. I initially wasn't sure because of the staccato notes in 26-27, but they're under the sustained note so I'll leave it as is visually. The performer can decide to release it for a bit there or continue pedaling for that bit. I've moved the hidden marking to m. 2.

This would be a good place for sostenuto pedaling, so that the top note is held and the lower notes can be staccato. It's fine as it is though (and I know many pianos don't have that pedal anyway). I approve.

Looking good! Just two tiny considerations:
- Either way works in the end, but I think slurs would be more conventional instead of tenutos for these patterns.
- On beat 2 of m16, do you want to move the high Eb in the LH over into Layer 1 of the RH?

[Latios212]

Thanks! I think I'd prefer to keep both as is - the first I think because I wanted to imply a bit of "weight" on those low bass notes and the second because I wanted to make sure the melody F was easily separated from the other layers (a bit awkward to hold the F down while playing the Eb and G).

nice
