It's been too long, folks.

It's been too long, folks.

Indeed it has

A few comments:

• Tempo marking should be aligned with the left side of the time signature.
• The quarter note pickup should be aligned with the quarter rest in the LH.
• It might be cool to include that arpeggio line as an optional RH part in m1-4, perhaps written with smaller notes.
• m8 RH beat 2.5: I think it might be a bit easier to play that triplet if all the notes were in the upper octave as in the original. As you have it, the easiest fingering would be 5-1-5-5, but if they were all in the same octave you could do 4-3-2-1 or 2-1-2-1 or something. I don't have my keyboard with me right now so I can't play it, I'm just moving my fingers on my desk lol. If you think it's fine as is it is, then keep it.
• m8 RH beat 4: I hear the slur one note later than you have it (from D# to E in m9, with the E on beat 4 of m8 being staccato).
• m11 LH beat 4: The slur is touching the accent (also throughout the piece, the distance between the edge of the slur and the accents are not always consistent - look at m7 vs m9 for example).
• m20 RH beat 2: I hear B in Layer 2 being slurred/tenuto, but I think it's fine to keep it staccato - it makes it a bit easier to jump to the octaves on beat 2.5.
• Copyright text, page number, and running title should all be within the page margins.

Good suggestion, I did consider this; however, I decided to exclude it. Not only would it take up a lot of space, but also if I did add it, then it would drop out at measure 5. In my opinion, it would seem odd to include it for such a short duration. Likewise, I tried to keep the piece difficulty closer to intermediate rather than having anything too crazy.

After toying with it a bit, you're definitely right. Excellent idea.

Oh, wow, you're right. That second voice threw me off. Good ear.

To me, it seems like a hair difference. Sharp eye xD

Yup, that's exactly why I made it the way I did-- to make the octave jump a bit easier.

You updaters sure have been staying sharp! Thanks for the feedback~

This looks the same as you had it before.

Otherwise, looks pretty good

Hi!!!!!

Aside from what Static said above:
- Bottom margin on page 1 is smaller than the others
- Rhythm grouping in the lower layer in m. 19 is incorrect
- For m. 19, how about moving the second pair of lower left hand notes down an octave? You'd gain a clearer call-and-response interaction between the two voices by avoiding the awkward overlap, but lose the octave jump in the lower voice.

Great sheet, glad to see stuff from you again

[Sebastian]

Hi!!!!!

Heyyy. Hoping to get back into activity a bit at a time. I'd like to transition back into checking sheets...looks like it's been a while haha.

As for the sheet, I think that covers everything. Updated the file.

I meant to suggest enlarging it to give more space under the URL. You could move the systems a tad closer together to make that fit well. Also the rhythm grouping for the lower layer in 19 is still off (crosses beat 3).

Also Static's comment... I think that may still not be what he was going for. (And your PDF exporter splatted some 3's across the bottom of the page...)

[Sebastian]

Yeah, I'm not sure what Static's looking for. There's no E on beat 4. Once I get clarification on that, I'll get that other stuff. I'm gonna have to get back to my old template. This one is a mess...

I can't read music apparently

I meant F#. Just like this:

[Sebastian]

Ahhh, ok. Thanks for your time in thoroughly checking!

I'll get that updated asap.

[Sebastian]

Fixed that stuff up, fells. Thanks again. : )

[Latios212]

You're welcome

Looks great, approved!

[Static]

I shall accept now
