I'm gonna have to do a double-check on the name at some point. Also, any advice on incorporating the flute in m. 5-8? I wasn't entirely sure how to incorporate it in, so I left it out.

You have 5 measures in system 3, and 3 measures in system 5. Since the musical density of both these sections is the same, it would be better to have 4 measures fit within each of these systems.

Sorry, since I don't have headphones on me I can't help you with your flute dilemma atm.

But the positions of a lot of the eighth rests in the first two lines seem funky. Maybe make those proper where there's a specific place, and where there isn't, make them as consistent as possible. Right now it's kinda like a mosh pit. So whenever you have an eighth rest on a half beat where there's no notation for a second voice, center it where it should normally go. In measures 3 and 4, they seem a lot lower than they need to be.

Measures 5 and 7, LH, seem to be missing staccatos on the second notes in the 16-note figures.

The last eighth note in the RH of measures 1 and 5 are kinda confusing without close and careful examination. Maybe find a better way to notate that.

This piece is in D major, so the key signature and accidentals should be changed to reflect that appropriately.

Fixed. Op updated.

The only other thing I would recommend is double checking the tempo--82 isn't a standard metronome marking, so I'd check to see if either 80 or 84 bpm would be more appropriate. I almost guarantee it's not at 82. Otherwise looks good. Anyone else have opinions?

I'm using a bpm finder to see what tempo this is, and I swear that I keep getting exactly 82bpm. I'd change the tempo if it was slightly faster or slower, but 82 seems to be it. Here's the bpm finder I'm using, and here's a link to the song if someone wants to double-check for me.

It is.

It's quite common for video game music not to have standard metronome markings for their tempo; many even have a non-integral BPM.

I always set it to the exact value (rounded to the nearest integer). It's accurate that way, and if you're using a traditional metronome you can simply choose the nearest setting. Besides, you could be using a digital metronome. Also it makes the mus and midi play back at the right speed.

Cool. Anything else then?

[SlowPokemon]

Okay cool. I haven't had the time to actually double check any of my musical suggestions, I was just saying that looking at the sheet 82 seemed a bit odd. Good to know it's all accurate.
