Hey, huge fan of this piece and WTC so this was super fun to look over! Initially I thought there were some errors with stem directions/voicing but after playing through it I realized I was mistaken.
So far as I can tell:
-Notes are accurate
-Enharmonics are all spelled correctly
-Everything is notated in familiar style for fugues (your effort in referencing WTC really shows!)
Only suggestions I can think of:
- The dotted line notation for voice crossing is used very seldomly in this style (it does show up, but your use it notably more liberal), at least in comparison the versions of WTC I have. That being said, its very common for piano reductions and thus something seen a lot in modern internet transcriptions so this isn't really a bad thing, just a stylistic choice between traditional and modern. Most people will fine the dotted lines easier to read, although people more familiar with Bach might find it cluttered.
- Consider adding fingering suggestions. These are common in a lot of version of the WTC and also, how you use your fingers is the big 'gotcha' when it comes to learning to play fugues. That being said, when I played through it everything up until the 4th voice was added felt relatively easy so I don't know how necessary that really is here.
Both of the above are optional and up to you and the updaters. This was really well executed and beautiful sheet! Keep up the good work!
edit:
The squiggle after the trill and the fermata at the end are unnecessary, as its already implied by the baroque style. You can still choose to leave them in though as a courtesy to people who may not know that.
