I added the drums to "groove-ify" it a little.
Tell me what y'all think!



Bespinben

Now we're talking. Aw yeah.

Still, invisible MIDI percussion doesn't do the player much good if it's not notated. Since the right hand is almost always unoccupied for the first half of the piece, you could have it do an alternation between palm slaps and knuckle bumps:



Also, notice that I added volta brackets (i.e. 1st/2nd ending repeat). If you distribute the measures 3 per system all the way through the sheet, you won't end up having an unseemly 1 measure system at the end.

As for the 2nd half of the song when the RH becomes more occupied, perhaps you could switch to vocal beatboxing or foot taps in lieu of the right hand.

This is cool! Thanks for the feedback.
I was gonna put the percussion part being "played" by your hand in the empty measures only, M. 1 & 2 for example, but in your example you have it all the way through the first section. I'm not really fond of banging my hand around while I'm playing piano, but I guess it wouldn't hurt for this piece.
I'll get this updated when I get on my computer :P



Sebastian

Ok. I got it updated!
What I fixed:
- I notated the drum part.
- Added the volta brackets and made it 3 measures per system.



Bespinben

This be smooth grooving yo.

Instead of writing "Go to measure 1", use the standard Da Capo al Fine repeat marker. It would also be a good idea to turn off the hidden percussion for the parts where you don't have it notated to play.

Ah, ok. There was a bunch that I could use so I just picked one at random :P
Fixed.

I thought it'd be cool to leave it in for playback's sake, but I removed it where it isn't notated.
Fixed.
