fantastic.yep, youre rite, it is tuned down, i dunno wat dat other persons on bout. im pretty sure this is 100% correct, great job. the only thing im not 2 sure about is the interlude, maybe if you could either fix it up or write it in an easier to read method, thatd make it complete.
once again, great job
