Would be nice if anyone can give a comment on my arrangement. It's been a while since i uploaded this.

I can see you put a lot of effort into this one! I respect that. However, to be brutally honest, you've made the song look a lot more complicated than it actually is. I reworked your formatting and time signatures (that was the biggest issue really), so this is how it should look:

Also, I thought the first half of the song would benefit from pedal usage. This is one of those grey areas where you have to use your internal sense of what works on the piano and what doesn't, and I felt the song was better represented using that technique as opposed to staccato. Also, I cleaned up the LH of m. 8+, as it was really messy with the layers before.

Wow nice done! It actually looks a lot cleaner. I'm really impressed with your work on it.

just a side question: do you use the "custom line tool" and make a pedal mark vertical in order to make the "right hand mark" in measure 8?? Or is it an easier way of making those??

Thank you! Glad I could help.

Oof! 
I actually draw those out by hand with the line tool...  Wish there was an easier way, haha. Vertical brackets would be nice.

This is one of those moments where I can't decide whether to jump for joy or to slam my fist on the table for wishing I had known this sooner.

Indeed xD
