If someone can find better percussion instruments for this, I'd appreciate it.

[Maelstrom]

how is this song not on the site yet

[LeviR.star]

Good question. This is the only answer I could find, from when I last asked that sort of question:

could it just be that no one's arranged it?

But, I'm glad to contribute.

[Latios212]

Oh wow, this is really neat. Didn't realize how much we needed this!

Just taking a quick peek, definitely change to E major on page 2.

[braix]

lmao this was the first song I've ever tried arranging and I never bothered fixing it up

[AmpharosAndy]

Probably a case of 'it's so popular, nobody dare do it'

This is your lucky day.

Feedback:
- The reverb is quite high (I believe we've talked about this over discord).
- The playability of M. 2...16th five-note chords at QN = 148...
- Notes look good in M. 5-8, but a little shoddier in 9-12. Here's what I'm hearing:

- M. 36. Same as M. 2.
- I'd put the separate voices in different layers in M. 21-28. It's kind of odd with how it currently is.

image aint wurkin 4 me, seb

EDIT: works now

[Latios212]

Image seems fine to me...

About the 16th chords, I normally wouldn't approve of things that dense and fast either, but here I feel since you have the ability to use two hands, and ample time to prepare for it, it's probably passable. At least I can get it to sound alright on my keyboard.

[AmpharosAndy]

Harmonies etc are fab Great arrangement. Simple and accurate! Add Seb's suggestions and I can't see anything else in the way

Loving the pencil note, but what if there aren't any around? Maybe just something like 'percussive sound/effect' would be clear enough and not as oddly specific idk.

[Sebastian]

In my opinion, percussion additions, like pencils, are optional, but adding them is totally cool. It just gives the performer another option.

maybe i'm gonna rise from the dead for sheet fixing

m. 12, L.H.: E#'s should be F naturals (F11 chord)
m. 14, L.H.: Bb should be A# (A#dim chord in R.H.)
m. 18 + upbeat in 17, R.H.: I think I'd rather see Gb's here than F#'s (Ab9 chord), and maybe add a courtesy accidental on the last F# on the Bm7 chord
m. 21-29, R.H.: See if you can lower some of those floating eighth rests
m. 28, L.H.: I think it makes more sense to write an Eb here instead of a D#

Also, if you want to have the L.H. played an octave lower, maybe start on m. 5 instead of m. 1, because the treble clef part in the L.H. should be played on its normal octave.
I'm doubting however if the L.H. should be played an octave lower at all, I think it could sound better in its written octave right now. Else there is a big gap between the R.H. and L.H. which may sound a bit empty.

Thanks, Bloop. I think I edited them with your suggestions correctly, but the underlined area is a bit iffy on my part. Can someone check?
