You could write some slurs in the RH, as the melody sounds very legato. So you can see the contrast between the LH staccato and the RH legato.

The problem is the complete lack of well-defined phrases with which to use the slurs... :/ I get what you're getting at but I don't know that slurs specifically are musically appropriate.

^In a case like this you could use your own judgement. We can negotiate further if needed. But I would personally most likely opt for slurs. It does happen in piano music to see slurs function more as phrase indicators than legato markings within certain pieces. As to whether I would require slurs in this piece, well that'll have to wait till after I can hear it. Pretty sheet though. I liek.

I see. But you could, in that case, write some text like "Legato in RH", or maybe "Legato in RH, Staccato in LH"(and remove/hide the staccato dots).

Plz change the piano soundfont

In measure 3 I'm hearing a triplet 16th group on the last bit in the RH:


Aside from that I'd say everything checks out accuracy-wise. Upon hearing it, I think a legato indicator of some kind is in order though. Tobbeh's idea is sufficient, or you could maybe put "Legato" near the top at the beginning and let the staccatos speak for themselves. Not as good an idea as Tobbeh's possibly though. I like the clarity of it:

I see. But you could, in that case, write some text like "Legato in RH", or maybe "Legato in RH, Staccato in LH"(and remove/hide the staccato dots).

After these things are addressed, I am satisfied.
