Added a glissando on the G chord and accents on the last two eighth notes.

Does anyone think this should be an octave higher?

You're going to have to name all the composers. "SSBB Team" is not gonna fly.

Yes an octave higher please.

And that's not a glissando what you put on. What you want is a trill but what you put on was a mordent. I suggest multiple voices. I'll demonstrate what I mean:

There are way too many composers. I did that with my previous two Victory theme submissions, and everyone was fine with it.

Now it's an octave higher. I didn't really like the trill when I put it in so I left it out.

Oh really? Hm. Alrighty then. I guess that's a very fair point XD

You mean you didn't like how the playback sounded? Cuz irl it'll sound infinitely better I guarantee you.

^ Finale playback is notorious for this sort of thing
I usually save it as a midi and open it in WMP cause that often sounds a little better

[skiaak]

Try exporting to Musescore. The trills and stuff can playback now in 2.0.2, I believe.

[JDMEK5]

The point is, if it sounds good in real life, keep it. It doesn't really matter if it sounds crappy in Finale cuz that's not the end goal.

It sounds to me like the last B natural in the first measure should be a 16th note, followed by an A flat (another 16th note), instead of just the B natural 8th note.

Like this.

[LifeMushroom]

The trill lasted too long. That's why I didn't like it.

Yeah, just noticed that. I'll fix it! Bob the Builder All rights reserved.

This arrangement is really good but I have some suggestions for making it even better:

1) There is a second violin/viola voice that you're missing, might try add it.

2) The harp arpeggios in measure 2. I think those could add great value to the arrangement since you got a crescendo there too. Put them in the LH in a suitable octave.

3) measure 3: maybe add an octave to that G. It's a bit weird having chords just before and a crescendo, but then after ending on a single note. An octave feels more natural and adds some dynamic to the accent. An octave on the second, low G doesn't hurt either, but this time an octave above.

btw funny thing: "6 new replies while I was typing this post" (wtf?)

Well then do something like this:


There's always a way.

Ahh y, I had that problem in one of my sheets Wild Arms - "Adlehyde Castle". My solution was to put a tr expression and the manually put curved line so that it looked the actual one, very tedious however.
