I think with respect to measure 82, goldenscruff was suggesting arpeggiating the bottom two notes of the three being played, not the top two. That is to say, the left hand takes the G2 and B3, and the right hand only plays the high B. A 10th isn't impossible to hit, so you could technically leave off arpeggiating this--typically it's implied that a pianist who can't hit it will arpeggiate it anyway.

Awesome arrangement btw, I look forward to it being published!

Ahh, now I understand. Files have been updated.

m61 b2 I think you should simplify the vocal to triplets on 2.0 and 2.33, and I think the F# is anticipated on ~2.66. (you could get the LH to do the bottom Dn, or drop it)

m63 I'm not hearing what is doing the F# A, G B. Maybe the strings would be better here? (B C# D C#  F#  E). I think the vocals is also a semiquaver ahead of what you have written.

m71 It sounds like "the" should be E D semiquavers (apologies if this was part of Latios' original comment). With the strings, the chord sounds like F#sus4 and I hear the A# come in on b3.5 not b3.75

m75 I think you can add the piano/guitar Bn, A# on b3.75 and b4.0

m78 b4.5 I might suggest removing the top F# in the strings to make the voicing a lot easier, (leaving just  a minor 7th)

TZP is correct with m82. I would like to leave off the arpeggio and let people arpeggiate as needed but NSM is a bit inconsistent with large intervals for 'playability'. I've been told a ninth is too wide on one of my sheets, and seen published sheets on site with unarpeggiated 10ths, so I said arpeggiate it to be safe.

I hear things slightly different. The strings play in triplets on beat 2 (B, D, E). I altered the vocals so it lines up with the strings.

Everything else has been addressed.

Thank you for your time.

Can you confirm that the LH is primarily a new part, mapping the general harmony and movement of the original?

m45 You could add an En to the RH b1.0 chord to match the harmony better
m45 I'm hearing b3 as a sus4, so can bump C# up to Dn in b3.0 and add a C# b4.0

m47 What's the bottom voice supposed to be representing? I can't quite hear it in the original if it is there. It also needs to resolve the sus4 on b2.75 or b3.0.

m50 I'm hearing "melt" on b2.25 and "in" on b2.75 as a F# approach note

m53 I hear "me" go up to F# on b3.25

m56 I'm hearing "would" on b2.0, "let" on ~b2.25 and "me" on b2.75, The vocals are a bit loose in rhythm, "let" might be better on b2.375

m59 b3.0 sounds like an F#sus4. I would just change the A# to a Bn and let the guitar resolve it.

m61 This RH is better, but I'm having trouble playing the EGF#. I think the RH would be better off with F# E F# triplets doubling the guitar.

m62 I'm hearing the vocal drop down to a Dn b3.5. Something like this might be better.

m65 b2.0 and b2.75 I think you can add the strings doing a Gn and F# here in RH.

m71 b3 sounds like an F#sus4 in the original. I would bump the A# up or do this.

m82 Something like this makes the voices clearer
