My arrangement is a bit more faithful to the original version and includes some parts/notes that were missing in the previous arrangement on here

[Latios212]

Hi, welcome to NSM!

Your arrangement is absolutely much better than the current arrangement we have, nice work! For a start, please check out our [formatting guidelines] and fix the texts and fonts - just for consistency. I can draw that up for you if you like, but you seem to have experience with Finale so I'm sure you can take care of that yourself.

Anyway, feedback on the arrangement of course!
- In a track like this with several distinct repeated sections it'd be nice for each to start on a new system for ease of reading - and the layout can work nicely here! If you make the intro four repeated measures instead of two (so it only repeats twice) a distribution of 4 measures per system would break the different sections more easily discernible, each having its own system.
- Measures 11-12 would probably be nice in bass clef instead of 8va treble.

Again, nice work. More small things to come later, but that's all I have time for right now.

The chords in bars 3-6 have 3 notes, so double check you've got all the harmonies down.

Edit:
-The chords in bars 7-10 should be like the ones in bars 15-18.
-The chord in bar 19 is C Maj (E-C-G)
-The chord on beat 3 of bar 20 should be C-G-F

By bars 3-6 do you mean 4-8? And by 7-10 do you mean 9-12? Each section is only 4 measures so I'm a little confused.

[The Deku Trombonist]

I'm going by the sheet that's in the OP, so before anything that Latios suggested has been factored in.

[Static]

OK, so I'm not 100% sure on m. 4-8, but it sounds very very close to the original theme:

Edit: I made some extra small adjustments. It's complete now.

You should be able to edit the links that Zeta has in the OP using your NSM Panel. Also, try this file. I made some formatting fixes as well as took a crack at those chords from m.5-8:

Only things I have left to suggest methinks are the following:
-Measure 13, RH: Maybe use the help of a second layer to get the chord on beat 1? Then while that's being held everything else in the middle can happen.
-Measures 13-14, RH: I would say that wherever the echoed notes happen namely in those closest to the bar between these measures, they happen loud and clear enough that you could notate them.

I also changed your "D.S. al Fine" to "Dal Segno" since I didn't see any "fine" anywhere.

^Wrong notes.

With right notes. And on 1 page.

[JDMEK5]

Well derp, there you go.

[Static]

Well, it's all done now. I added the chord to m. 13-14 and added the echo notes.
Thanks so much for all the help, you guys!

[Latios212]

Two quick things and we're done:
- Title should be "Remains of the Factory" as listed in the official soundtrack
- Composer/arranger info needs to be right aligned

https://www.dropbox.com/s/g42tfnucunv9iv2/Chrono%20Trigger%20-%20Remains%20of%20the%20Factory.musx?dl=1
Or I can just add the files in for you.

[Static]

OK, I replaced the files with the new title now, so I think we're done.

Again, thanks you guys for all the help!

[Latios212]

You're welcome! :3
