[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

One of the few original songs in the game. Cheers!

I haven't forgotten, just been busy. I've managed to listen to the song, but haven't been able to properly analyze the sheet music yet. Once I finish my science hw, I'll analyze it.

E Gadd and I went over some note value stuff, and got it all beamed correctly.
OP is updated with the correct corresponding files.

EDIT: Also got rid of all the slurs in the LH and marked it "Sempre Legato", and added parenthesis around the shared G# in M. 2

I'd make the last system into a 2 measure-system. It looks very stretched out with only 1 measure on a system.

I think you could also just shorten the system half way. Whichever works out best

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

Fixed the last page's system issues; I now have 3 systems; a standard 4 measure system, then a 3 measure system followed by a 2 measure system. Looks much better now.
I also fixed places where there were some missing measures.

Quick suggestions while I'm still awake:
- Flip the bottom layer so stems face down, and top layer so stems face up. That way there's less confusion on which notes belong to which layer. (Measures 2 and 4.)
- Extend slurs to the last tied note. You have this done already in some places (like 1), but not others (like 17).
- What exactly are you trying to communicate with the cross-staff lines in 15? I'm confused, though it may just be that I'm tired.
- I'd suggest adjusting the measures per system past 16. 6 measures is far more cramped than the rest of page 1 and the last two systems have far too much space. Tweak to your liking.
- Just an organizational thing: you should name your files after the sheet title. PDF.pdf is redundant and it's impossible to know what sheet it is without opening it. (It gave me quite a hassle while going through multiple versions of your Groudon sheet lol.)

Fixed.

This actually was the case in M. 17, but due to the slur being smushed in with the tie, it looked like one mark. Fixed.

- What exactly are you trying to communicate with the cross-staff lines in 15? I'm confused, though it may just be that I'm tired.

The melody resolves to an A, then goes to a G sharp that is part of the accompaniment as well, albeit somewhat subtly (you have to listen for it a bit).

Set the entire thing to 4. Not sure why I didn't do this before. Fixed.

This came about as a result of the way I organized the files on my computer, but I've changed it now for this sheet and will make sure to do so for all future sheets.
Thanks for the feedback! OP Updated.

- Extend slurs to the last tied note.

Check again; you have a bunch of other places where this doesn't happen. Also, try and be consistent with your slurs. You have some sixteenth notes slurred, and others not. Is there a reason why?

About m. 15: I don't hear the G# in the melody after a couple of listens but the thing that threw me off was that you still have the A on the top staff that's tied to beat 2. It's unclear if the melody is supposed to hold the A or descend to the G#.

Also this.

Checking these off as I go.

Fixed both.

Got rid of the tied "A".

Also this.

I did..

M. 2:
Layer 1: Up
Layer 2: Down

M. 4:
Layer 1: Up
Layer 2: Down
