m13-16 I added the bass to give it some extra movement. I'm happy to lab something else out, or just drop LH to whole notes.
I recall grace notes needing slurs like in m8. Is that correct?
m2,4 b3-4 I'm quite sure on the LH.

Hi! Just thought I'd chime in and offer some visual feedback. I haven't checked for note accuracy.

I think all grace notes should be tied.

m1&3- RH beat 3.25, these should be dotted eighth notes (so there should be no ties), like how you have them in m11&12.

m4- LH rests, should be a dotted eighth rest rather than the 16th+quarter rests you have.
 
m5- In the RH, the first two beats in the second layer should be a tied 8th note to 16th note (F#), then a dotted eighth (A)

m11- LH beat 1. This might be unplayable for most people. I would move the dotted eighth note (C#) to the RH, at least for the dotted eighth note, and then move the RH E an octave below. So it would look like (C#-A-E-C#) . And then for the 16th note, I would either add the C# and remove the top note (A) so it becomes (E-A-C#) or put the C# in between what you currently have, so it becomes (A-E-C#-A).

m16- LH, the eighth rest should be moved a little further down.

The beat lengths aren't the same between your suggestions.

m11- LH beat 1. This might be unplayable for most people.

I couldn't play the LH An (and I added them at the bottom of the RH), so I removed them. Your suggestion is ignorant of the melody in the RH, but if the 9th comes up again, I can move the Bn up an octave in the LH.

Implemented the others.

Whoops! You're right. Not sure what I was thinking at the time. Hehe.

That works!

• copyright info missing developer (check your Pokémon Center B&W sheet onsite for this info)
• m1 and m3 RH I think the staccato on 4.0 is a little unnecessary considering the length. And for beat 4.25, it is technically just 16th length, so you could make 4.5 an 8th rest.
• m1 and m3 the jumps from 3.0 to 3.5 is quite awkward from the added 3rd finger that is needed, I would suggest just doing Dn-F# for 3.5 and 4.5 just like 1.5 and 2.5 as the Bn doesn't add too much.
• m2 and m4 LH the top note sounds like an En for 1.5 and 2.5 - you could keep pattern similar to m1 and m3 by doing En-G# for this

Overall- this is what I'm thinking would work better for the pattern of m1-2, also applying to m3-4 where appropriate

• m9 RH 2.5 could add G# grace to this An
• m11 RH 3.75-4.0 this tie should be flipped up
• m11 LH top notes also sound like Bn's
• m12 LH 1.75 this En is a part of the RH rhythm - I think the RH also can play it fine and then play 2.5 right after as opposed to the LH needing to finger it
• m14 RH hearing 3.5 as 16th length, and then on 3.75 an En which ties to 4.0 as well (so no 16th rest on 4.0).
• m13-15 RH second voice realistically these notes are not getting held their full length- would suggest either removing this layer, or maybe just adding a single 8th in the first voice on beat 1 that is the current note.

Fixed

• m11 LH top notes also sound like Bn's

I can't hear a top Bn, nor a C#. So I've moved the An from the RH to the LH.

• m14 RH hearing 3.5 as 16th length, and then on 3.75 an En which ties to 4.0 as well (so no 16th rest on 4.0).

I think the En you are hearing are the strings that I have in the LH. I have adjusted the RH rhythm here, as it was incorrect.

• m13-15 RH second voice realistically these notes are not getting held their full length- would suggest either removing this layer, or maybe just adding a single 8th in the first voice on beat 1 that is the current note.

In m10 there were some bass notes that I had missed out, so I have added them.
