The beginning rhythm (didgeridoo) isn't 100% exact, but if it really makes a difference then I could change it. Aside from that, I added some fingerings for m26-33, but they aren't the best so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great! If there are some playability concerns, then I could get rid of the 4ths

I think there should be a crescendo the measure before the fortissimo.

Zeila

If you mean put one before m10, there is. I placed a crescent when the repeat section starts and it's meant to be gradual throughout each ending (although that may not be the case in the mus playback)

Wow what an awesome song. And a great arrangement!

What I have is actually a bit regarding accidentals:
-Measure 40-41: You have a lot of Gb and Ab here but yet an F# and G# in the key sig (enharmonic equivalents) so that should be a tip-off that there's a better way. I would change all Gbs and Abs to F#s and G#s respectively, and also all F naturals to E#s. The chord in the bass clef I would write using F#, B#, and D#.
-Measure 45, First Half: I would spell the Db major tonality as C# major, since it's the dominant (and theoretically sound thereby) of F# minor.
-Measure 45, Second Half, RH: I would make all F naturals E#s instead.
-Measure 48: All F naturals should be E#s.
-Measure 57: I would make the key signature Db major. From here to the end the key changes literally every measure so whether switching to a key here is even justified, I'm not sure. But if you're going to, you might as well go to the right one for the first measure.

In bar 37, the F natural should be an E# (3rd of a C# major chord).

Same thing in bar 47. And the RH accidentals should match the LH harmony.

You're missing a voice, you don't really need to add it but there isn't too much of a reason not to. I transcribed a measure of it for you as a reference.

Done, but in m47 I put an F double sharp instead of G natural (if G natural is better then I can switch it back). In regard to the last comment, I'm not sure if m44 is actually okay

Thanks for trying, but I don't think it's necessary/worth it as it would only be playable for the first 4 measures, seems out of place, and would make playing it even more difficult - especially if those notes were to be played at a different dynamic (otherwise it would be even more out of place). I guess you could argue that the (mostly) parallel 4ths aren't necessary either, but those are more noticable and I feel that they add more

FireArrow

You could always move it up an octave so the R.H. can play it and it wouldn't be much more difficult than the parallel 4ths. If you don't think the voice adds much though than just avoid it becuase it being so quiet would make it a huge pain to transcribe.

edit: I dont' know what I was thinking that's not playable at all lol

Hey look, I've found my new favourite song!

One comment, bar 10-13, add the quiet strings in the bass line, it feels too lonely without it :P. Other than that, I think that'll didgeridoo.
