A short tune

Christine is a name I would not expect to hear in the same sentence as Zelda lol.  Like I'd expect that to have been like a Wand of Gamalon character name or something

- Maybe it's OCD on my part, but I don't think it'd hurt to move the system down a bit unless you like how the tempo is lined up to your name haha
- On subject of tempo, perhaps just put Swing! in front of the tempo mark, and hide the actual swing effect from view.  I don't believe the tempo marker is usually put above the text like that
- If beat 3 RH is going to have a tenuto mark, it probably wouldn't hurt to put them on beat 2.5 and 3.5 in m4 RH as those pitches do sound a bit longer.
- Another potential OCD thing the D.C kind of looks low next to the tail end of the 8va so perhaps line the letters up with the 8va

Otherwise notes look good!

Hey, I just arranged this recently...

I'm pretty sure both are acceptable, though putting them all in one line might be more optically pleasing (when I do this, I separate them with a comma). It's also perfectly fine to have both the "Swing!" text as well as the triplet explanation, though only one of the two would be required. Up to you to decide!

Aside from that Kricketune said just about everything I would have said. I think adding those tenuto markings in m4 is important, as the notes do sound a bit longer than the other, non-tenuto ones.

Maybe you could arrange the remake version 🤔

Or Xiao could arrange Dr. Write's theme from SimCity on SNES, the song this melody is actually from.

God, this four-bar loop is so aggravating to me for some reason. I feel like it wants to resolve so badly.

[Latios212]

I've got nothing to add, this looks good

The notes look good.  I think the 8va could start a little more to the left, but more importantly it should end after the Eb in bar 4, not just before the rest on beat 4.

Also, the copyright/url isn't properly aligned the bottom margin.

Yeah this is pretty annoying haha.

I guess this is not super important, but I feel like using a standard repeat marking would make more sense than a D.C. for a one line sheet.  Sorry for not mentioning earlier.

[LeviR.star]

I hadn't even noticed that. What's the point of having a D.C. for a sheet without any repeated sections in-between?

[Libera]

It can help prevent the reader from incorrectly looking for a forward repeat marking.  If the sheet is one or two pages long, I think a standard repeat marking is better.

[LeviR.star]

Sure, for sight-reading that's helpful, but shouldn't the performer know after the first or second time through how the repeats are set up?

That's an interesting discussion I'd like to have sometime, to decide how much should be expected of us arrangers to prepare performers.

Me when I start questioning my choice of D.C. instead of a repeat 😫

It is no effort at all, so I don't see why not to do it.

Cool.  Accepted.
