Brassman what's your arranger name

Why not throw that second run on the bottom staff and indicate that it's being played by the same hand.

Looking something like this, but the run on top is to not sound as low. That happened as soon as I put the 8vb on it. I guess it effects the whole bar.

Fancy idea, but I just think it would add confusion, especially because of the 8vb if it actually should affect that run or not. I do not see a problem with the previous version... I would prefer the old one.

Should there really be note barring over rests?

I think that is a question of religious belief... Some people do not like to do it, but I don't think it is a problem...

[Bespinben]

Seems appropriate to in this situation. It's become a lot more prevalent in modern notation. Otherwise, if you unbarred it, the location of beat 2 in measures 5 and 7 becomes less clear.
(I suppose an alternative would be to write the phrase as a staccato dotted 8th barred with a 16th, but that gives more the impression of the dotted eighth being much shorter than it's intended to be held. With the eighth - 16th rest - 16th route, you get to clearly see how long the eighth should be held).

I like the idea of what you did in measure 6, but like Xaoz said, it seems a little off reading the top layer as also being 8vb. Maybe you could keep it in the top staff, and just use a clef change?

[Brassman388]

Yeah, this is quite a doozy.

No clef changes. It's pretty smooth so far, so we're just going to have to think of something else as far as a solution.

If it has to, if there's absolutely no way to rewrite that bit, we'll keep it the way it is now. But, I'm going to keep tinkering with it.

I like this guy.

Best day in my life!

While you're tinkering away, I was wondering what you thought about that polyrhythm at measure 12? Further subdividing the 4 against 3 took me a good few head scratches to finally get right on my Air Piano™. Maybe simplify the left hand a little bit like you did somewhat like you did at measure 21? (Something like... 8th, 8th, quarter... 8th, 8th [so just getting rid of the 16ths in the LH momentarily])

Air Piano™.

crap it's already trademarked

Hmm. There's not much I can do there. I guess that part right there will definitely define the difficulty of the piece.

[The Deku Trombonist]

I think bar 6 would work best just in one layer, reducing the half notes to quarters. I don't think that much is lost writing it that way.

If everyone's happy with this version, it'd be good to move this one along.

[mikey]

shouldn't we have multiple arranger names on it

[The Deku Trombonist]

Who did you want on it?
