Some of those octaves seem unnecessary (measures 19 and 21?) but I won't question you. Also you can save a page by zooming things out a bit if you want. Good job otherwise!

Normally, I would agree with you. I'm not a big fan of having octaves in both hands at the same time; however, in this instance, I put it this way. The passage from M. 19-26 has 5 voices. There is a xylophone and glockenspiel (maybe lithophone) type thing (the right hand), the string sections (left hand) which consist of the violin/viola and cello/bass, and the other bass/cello voice which I did not incorporate. Again, I'm not a big fan of octaves going at the same time, but I believe it works for this section. As for this song in general, it was oddly difficult, especially from M. 31-62 because there are so many voices and because it was hard to decide how many and/or which voices to incorporate/include.

Also you can save a page by zooming things out a bit if you want.

Haha, I was actually gonna do this.
I decided on what I have because I don't want more than 5 systems on the first 4 pages and I don't mind having 2 on the last. One thing I hate is having a cramped sheet.

Thanks for the feedback! You have a sharp eye.

Page 3 bump.

Awesome. Thank you, Latios.

Also, bump?

Just a few small points.

• Is there a particular reason why there's no key signature? There are a lot of F#s appearing throughout the sheet.
• The tremolo in m. 8 is so tiny, I thought it was a piece of dust on my computer screen. ^^ It wouldn't hurt to widen the tremolo sign in m. 26 as well, I think.
• There's a low voice appearing from m. 63 onwards - it might make the sheet challenging to play, but it possibly be added. Up to you, I see there are a lot of voices included already.

The tonic is C.

Sure, Why not.

I've added all the voices I feel I want. Thanks though!

[Sebastian]

There we go. I made the tremolo much bigger.
Anything else?
Updaters?

I'm no expert on music theory or anything, but I think it would make more sense for the Bbs in m37/45/53/61 to be A#s

[Olimar12345]

looks solid.

-A D.C. might be more useful than a backwards repeat bar, given how long the piece is.
-the forte at 70 should come earlier, at 63. a crescendo into it might also be nice.

I'd say Bb's, because at that point it looks like the C is a pedal (NCT).

[Bespinben]

The Bb's are Bb's because the notes constitute a Bb major chord (Bb, D, F). The C's are an added 9th to that.
D F A# C doesn't form an intelligible chord, not even if we call it something like "D minor augmented 5th flat 7th" (lolwut?)

I can see why you'd suggest A# though, since the following measure has a B natural, but in this case, vertical analysis (chords) trumps horizontal analysis.

[Olimar12345]

The C looks more like a pedal than a chord tone at that point, since it drones throughout the entire LH in that section. I mean sure it could be seen as a ninth in that Bb chord, but underneath everything else as the harmony moves away from C...just fits a pedal tone's definition pretty nicely. d:
