Cool track! I'm always amazed by how you find all these obscure games lol

• m6, m14 RH 3.0 I don't hear this Cn
• m36 LH beat 2.75 should this shift to Ab and then all of the rest of the notes be Ab until beat 4.75's Fn?

I still hear it in one of the background parts, though I guess it's a bit quieter than the rest

That's actually in a different part where the G# is played on beat 3, but I think it would sound better in the arrangement to do that so I changed it. Added the attack on beat 3 to line up with the G# but also to mimic the drum fill there.

Okay, I think I understand which note it is representing now, but it seems like a kind of weird inclusion to me. Like I would think if there was more incorporation of background parts, there would be the Gn that's struck on beat 1.25 every time for figures like m1 or m2.

Yeah I think it makes sense for the reasons you've outlined.

The Cn is playing in the same background synth part that I included throughout the arrangement (the one that plays on beat 2, 3, 4, 4.75), it's basically meant to fill out the chord there (D7). The bass part also plays Cn there. The G on beat 1.25 of those measures is from the arpeggiated part that I wrote down starting in m17, which I didn't want to include in m1-16 so I could prioritize the other parts.

Gotcha, I hear that now. This has my approval.
