3 things to mention:
  • Everything is cramped. Couldn't figure out how to fix it.
  • About 80% of this song are played "echoes." I would have like to make those note-heads small, but that's not possible on a finale Notepad.
  • Measure 15. The dynamics suck. If it's possible to make the echo note-heads small, I would like to say that the echo notes in that measure are all pp.
Fixed all of this stuff for you, you can't really do formatting like this on NotePad.

Some other things I changed for you:
- Added an indication for keeping the RH always 8va, using pedal throughout, and the echo notes.
- Aligned all dynamic markings vertically.
- The quarter note G in m12 beat 3 should be one octave lower.
- The grace note in m20 should be a B like the main note, but one octave lower.
- The LH note in m20 should be an E, not a G.

Otherwise, really nice arrangement! Now hopefully it looks as good as it sounds.

Thank you so much! Most of those notes you changed I had on my MuseScore version, but I guess I was so worried about the formatting that I messed those up. Much appreciated! I will reupload those files with your edits shortly.

Nice work guys! A few last points from me (Static, can you help with the formatting again, if not then I can give it a stab)
- I think it would make sense to have the F# in the left hand extend throughout the whole measure like the second half of the sheet, or at least make it longer so there isn't an eighth + eighth rest which makes it look like a deliberate lift (which I assume isn't really the intention here).
- The LH rests are out of order starting in m. 5 (should be beamed in 3+4 like the previous measures)
- The dynamics attached to some of the small notes are small. I'm not sure what the easy fix to this is, but I think they should still be normal size.

Other than the above, looks awesome.

I agree with all the suggestions here. To fix the dynamics you just have to change the font size (and make copies of the dynamics so you don't mess the normal ones up). Then you just gotta use a bit of math and find what font size will look like 24pt at 100% size.

Thatoneguy, if you also agree with the changes, I have the files here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TR_gCXVVyGvKsQubxgBjSP8Af1gCOwa7) in that same folder (listed as "Wyon Mirrored Cave 2"). If you have any comments or questions about the changes, let us know.
