I transcribed Longing of the Wind from Chrono Trigger, and coded it with LilyPond. I'm pleased with how it turned out, however, I'd like feedback on it, if you all have the time. I noticed that there are no scores hosted on this website, and I think scores could be useful to musicians who are fooling around with the music. Anyone can do this, however, it does take time!
The forum software is not letting me upload the LilyPond code, so here it is, for those interested:

Hey, welcome to the party!
I think there are plenty of people out there that would be interested in seeing what's happening on paper. Thanks!
