Before we get on to any musical critiques, review this.
I can't find a youtube file for the song anywhere, but you should probably find it, as it's needed.

[JacopoTore]

I'm sorry, the source where I extracted the music was wrong.
I replaced sheet.

That's a really nice soundtrack im gonna have to help you with it. Remove the Pno. markings and any particular reason why you chose to use a pianoforte instead of a piano?

[JacopoTore]

Ok thank you for your help. I will remove pno but I can't see other particular. I call pianoforte because is the complete name of the instrument, piano is an abbreviation. Can I modify other things?

[FireArrow]

You need to fix the formatting to meet NSM standards (the link maelstrom gave you), but I don't think it needs any changes to the arrangement itself.

[JacopoTore]

Ok I did it and replaced
Thx for suggestions

[FireArrow]

Hmm, I'll be more specific.

The title and the composers name should be bold.
The subtitle and the arrangers name should be italicized.
The header for pages 2+ should not include the subtitle.

I think that covers it all.

Edit: Nvm you updated the pdf but not the mus. You only need to do the last thing but make sure you update the .mus file too!

[JacopoTore]

Omg I spent most the time to edit this sheet than transcribe and arrange this song xD 
Ok now I do it at all

This link might help get quick access to the track.

Just a few minor points to make:

• The playback in the MUS file and the MIDI file are too slow. Double-click on your tempo marking two times, and select "Edit" in the pop-up menu. Go to Playback, and tick the box that says "Match playback to metronome marking text". Since the time signature is 4/4, it might be best to change the tempo marking to "quarter note = 200" as well.
• Don't forget to bold the title & "Composed by ..." texts, and italicise the "Arranged by ..." text in the MUS file.
• It would be good to add a double barline whenever you have a key signature change (between m20-21, and m34-35).
• In m18, have your second dotted note as a beamed eighth and quarter note instead.
• Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm hearing the right hand in mm. 20-22 as a quarter and eighth note, rather than 3 eighth notes at the beginning of each bar.

Other than that, it's looking good, I think! Hope you'll have it submitted soon enough.

[JacopoTore]

Thank you for your suggestions!
But I miss the last two point, I really don't understand what are you talking about...can you post or send to me another .MUS file with your changes?
The title and composer is bolded, the arranger is italicised, I don't know why you say me "don't forget"
I replace.

[Onionleaf]

Hiya, I came back with some pictures.

I'm sorry for repeating this again, but this is what the titles look like in your MUS file (your PDF file is fine, though) - just make the MUS titles the same as your PDF titles:


Here is what I was talking about for m18:


Oops, sorry about my last point, I named the wrong measures! I was talking about mm 29-31, and this was what I heard in the melody:

[JacopoTore]

I really don't know why you see the title not bolded or italicised, I made pdf throught .mus file!
I'm using finale 2012 for mac.
I replace

[Onionleaf]

Oh I see, I did think it was a little strange that the MUS file was like that. Sorry to pester you so much about the formatting. (*sigh* Technology, am I right?)

[JDMEK5]

I've got the formatting for you, buddy.
