That... sounds good! I like it.

I got a little stuck on the actual Oath part. I was following V2 for this piece, but they do the middle section slightly differently, and somewhere there is a transition that I can't catch that shifts the music over - else it stops making sense. Or maybe they key change without telling anyone. Or I just can't hear it right. Dunno. I looked through the other versions, and for the most part they follow V1's music, which lies smoother on paper and makes sense and matches up. So I think I will go with that version for the middle section, because V2 seems to be doing something odd compared to all the rest and I can't quite grasp what. Most of last night and this morning was figuring out how to fit the melody back into the chords, no great progress there, but I hope that in a few days I'll have the whole thing finished, considering the number of repeats.
