Looking over this, I've got a quick question about the formatting for the second verse of the song (measures 16-24)
Earlier in the song, the bass cleft had the higher chords and the main bass notes. At this part though, the right hand had the chords as well as the main melody.
The section I cut out is this:

Would it be better to put the chords in the left hand when possible? It looks cleaner and easier to read, but I'm not too sure if its the correct format or not:

Hey guys, I know you didn't really ask for help or anything, but I took your MUS file and sort of remade it, cleaned it up so that it didn't look so visually "messy" or "busy" and made a few tweaks where I thought necessary. You don't have to accept this, but I think a lot of the issues your sheet may have had are gone. The trouble is that your sheet, although accurate, isn't playable, so it's important to think about splicing down enough so that you have a functional piano arrangement.
Anyway, see what you think.

EDIT: Oh, and in response to Bubbles' above post, having the syncopated chords in the right hand works better for this section for several reasons. The most important two are:
1. It's easier to play those with the right hand in the current position.
2. The left hand has the secondary melody at this point, and it can't "connect" the notes in the edit you posted--the melody will be interrupted when it leaps up to strike the syncopated chords.
Looks much better, actually! I don't know how the second part became so messy but oh well. I don't think Bubbles would mind either (right?)
I think it's actually Notepad that squeezed the notes together and made them like that haha. The full Finale doesn't have that issue :P notepad is annoying to work with
Fuck notepad, Finale 2014 ftw :3

Damn I really need to upgrade. Is it that much better than 2012?
It did move some things, but you'll get used to that quickly. It just has some useful additions to help you with some things, but nothing new that Finale 2012 can't do. A thing I noticed is that 8va markings don't say 8vb below staves anymore, but that's nothing to worry about.
You're on a role Bloop :)

I can't check the edited sheet until I'm home and on a real computer, but there's definitely no problem with you helping! That's actually the point of these threads haha
And I was going back and fixing the squeezed notes (you're right, it's probably a finale thing) but I guess I forgot to resubmit it

I hate that, it looks stupid.

In finale 2012 you could edit which symbol it used for that. Can you no longer do this in 2014?
Not sure, I'll have to find that out later. I do know it's possible for articulations, but I'm not sure about lines.
By the way Bloop/Bubbles, if you want to use my files, it's totally fine to edit this submission and use the new files instead.
Finally found time to look at your revisions, and thank youuu its so much better :D
No problem ^^
-Remove the "Pno." Abbreviation.
-The B naturals in the LH of measures 8 & 9 should be Cb's (in the key! d: )
-Change the D natural in the LH of measure 9 to a Ebb, and the C natural in the LH of measure 10 to a Dbb. Do these same changes again at measures 13-15. (Double flats can be created by highlighting the note in the simple entry and pressing Ctrl Shift "-" )
Obviously I can't edit the submission but I made those changes to the files:

MIDI should be the same since the pitches are the same enharmonically.
How nice of you! Links have been updated. This is good to go.
