EDIT: Oh, crap. The PDF is fricked up. I'll fix that later when I get back on my computer.

[The Deku Trombonist]

I'm pretty sure bar 3 is an It⁶ chord, in which case the Ab would need to be respelled as a G#. Might want to check other places where this harmony is implied too (eg bar 22).

[Sebastian]

Oh, ok. Sounds good.
I'll check that chord and a couple others as well.

[Tobbeh99]

I'd notate the last chords, in measures 58-60, using cross-staffing. So you put the lower 2 notes in the LH staff. That's a lot easier to play since both hands are available, and therefore also probably the method people would use regardless of notation. But the chord in m.61 is fine because how small it is, stretching less than an octave.

Also I'm not certain of the spelling of the chord in measure 50. You have both a Gn and a G#, it's kind of rare for that to happen and in a tonal song.

Thanks, Deku. Got that fixed. I also put a courtesy accidental in the next measure for clarity.

That is an ingenious idea, Tobbeh. Thank you so much for the idea. I have updated the sheet with these specs, and I hope it has a satisfactory look.

I also messed around with those chords to make absolutely certain they are correct. Since they are so high and consist of quite a few notes, I thought I'd make certain that they are good.

There was also an issue with the composer names which I have fixed. The PDF was also crappy.

The links have been updated with all the above changes.

[Sebastian]

B-dump toosh.

A few things:
-The "play 8va" marking is avoiding the hidden 8va marking and it looks weird on the PDF. It's not a collision if one of the things are invisible.
-A few rolled chord markings are pretty far from their chords.
-The last 4 measures:

Don't quote me on the accidentals, or how I split up the chords, but these are the right notes.
It may be easier to not split up the chords for sight reading purposes, as it's much easier to see what the chord is.

[Sebastian]

Oh, hey. Thanks for the feedback, buddy! I'm sorry for the late reply. I don't want you to think I was blowing you off or anything.
I've been busy recovering from an illness, but now I'm better and ready to go!
I'll get this stuff fixed later today when I get on my computer. : )

Ah, sounds good. I moved it down a bit. Hope that is satisfactory.

Ok. I'll move 'em in nice and tight for you.
They should look better now.

Ok. I'll put the notes in the right hand staff for sight-reading purposes. I also updated the notes. Man, I admit, those notes are hard hear
However, I'm 100% sure I hear a C# on the first chord of the last measure.
I'm hearing this:


Also, for M. 60 I hear something along the lines of this:


Thanks for the feedback, bro! : )

[Maelstrom]

Ok, fine by me.

[Sebastian]

Bump.

[Bespinben]

Did somoene call for...!
Oh, dang. Nvm, sorry woops.

Well, shoot, you're getting it anyway!

And uh, feel free to work on m. 25-31. I didn't really have any good ideas (partially due to finishing this in the wee hours of the morning).

I'm pretty sure bar 3 is an It⁶ chord, in which case the Ab would need to be respelled as a G#. Might want to check other places where this harmony is implied too (eg bar 22).

I'm going to be THAT one guy.... and say what if it was a tritone substituion of the secondary dominant??? DUN DUN DUN

[Sebastian]

Interesting...
I like what you did with it. Very interesting approach, but you did forget the repeat sign. : D

Not the pickles! .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.
