Again, I'm sorry for the crappy finale score! I use Sibelius so I have to export XML and it just looks bad.

The accidentals I have may not be correct (I thought that this piece was mostly chromatic so I put flats where it seemed to be descending and sharps where it seemed to be ascending). On the second page of the finale score, the trill playback is incorrect. Only the half note and whatever it's tied to are supposed to be trilled, but for some reason finale wants to have the eighth note before it trilled to.

Hope that helps a little bit!

I claim this one guys. I'll give it a good look and fix the formatting.

[jegilmer]

Thanks!

Well, at first glance those Cb's should be B naturals.

[jegilmer]

Alright thanks. I was trying to keep everything within an interval of a 6th whenever the chromatic lines were harmonized, so I ended up with Cbs and double flats. I don't think that's right though. I guess maybe it should just follow the chromatic scale like (C B Bb A Ab G Gb F E Eb D Db)?

Thanks for the feedback though!

Oh sorry, I should of been more clear. Use Cbs for the chromatic section, but for figures like the intro use B naturals.

EDIT: Hold off on the chromatic part I'm gonna take a closer look.

[FireArrow]

Double post because I'm stupid, I meant F#'s in the intro not B naturals >_>
Not sure anymore though, I'll wait for a second opinion

[jegilmer]

Ohhhhh okay! Haha yeah I see what your saying, I do think that F# would make more since because it's being used as a neighbor note.

[jegilmer]

Anyone want to help out with this arrangement? XD

[Sebastian]

I will! I have to go but when I get back I'll help you.
This is a tough arrangement.

[jegilmer]

Okay thanks! Yeah it really has been! So many accidentals, too!

You know, if you use the free template file we have, you don't have to worry about the formatting. Also, unfortunately, the PDF needs to come from the MUS file, so that they are identical.

He has Notepad so he can easily make PDFs but this time I can just get him a PDF
