We made this a while back now so I've forgotten any comments I might have had...

[LeviR.star]

Posting this here to remind myself to update the tempo marking according to the new guidelines~

[XiaoMigros]

Fonts have been updated to match the guidelines :)

Sorry for the wait, but nice job on this both of you!

just posting the extended for the next updater, as this has the last measure at about 1:53.

Just had one question for now, m71 should LH beat 4 be written G# and D#?

It is a little odd, but in the context of the LH it makes sense even if it clashes with the RH. You have a chromatic downwards progression in the LH and a completely different chord above.

Okay thanks for the explanation, that makes sense to me.

m68 RH the two grace notes at the end of the measure sound to me like G then F#, but I've got nothing else and will approve. Great job both of you!

Just two things I wanted to mention:
-The R.H. run in m55 ends before the treasure fanfare in the L.H., which initiated me breaking my brain over m55's exact rhythm:
I think the L.H. is supposed to be some sort of 4:3 rhythm (so non-swing dotted 8th, 16th tied to 8th, 8th tied to 16th, dotted 8th), and the R.H. is probably triplet 16ths ending just before (non-swing) beat 2.5?
That probably won't really read easily, but since the R.H. is all white notes, you could maybe write it as a glissando from F on beat 1 to G on beat 2.5?
-m57-58 and 61-62: The 16th tremolo isn't starting in m57 and m61 beat 4.5 isn't wrong, but to me it feels very hard to play at full speed, especially together with a (swung) 8th in the L.H. Do you think it's worth writing these 16ths as a held dyad instead (probably with legato slur or tenuto mark)?

Xiao and I checked, you are correct. Good catch!

- we did some messing around, and found that we agree with a glissando in the RH, but think the dotted eighths make it a bit too messy for our liking. Would it be ok if we meet halfway and just change the RH 16ths to a gliss?
- how about a double-beamed tremolo marking instead? That way, the performer can just play the broken sixths however fast they want, instead of being forced to adhere to a strict rhythm

Files are up-to-date. Let us know what you think.

That was actually what I was thinking too, I just didn't word it pretty well haha. Looks good!

That works too, it's still on the harder side of things, but I think with some practice it's possible!

I'll accept!
