This is one of your messier threads kaji First off it says the lowest note is E3 when there is a D3 listed. "By Request" 6 Arias - 5 Songs lowest note is E♭3, but there's no E♭3 listed in the thread.
Not trying to be mean but this really needs to be cleaned up.

Probably he did it keeping in mind this thread is on WIP board, also sometimes issues like that has happened me when I fix some notes in the thread that were conunted wrong before and for previous changes it do take a little fix up all that.
