Here's the song for reference:

Infamously known as Adeline in the files of the international release.

This is a really pretty track with a great arrangement to go along with it!

• m7-8: From m7 beat 4.25 onwards, I don't hear any harmony in the RH up to m8 beat 3.
• m8: Thoughts on adding an arpeggio marking to the last chord in the RH?
• Since you have a rubato indication in the tempo marking, you can leave out the rit. in the last measure.
• This piece is in C minor, the key signature should reflect that
• m1-3: In the RH, beat 3 needs to be shown.
• Double-check the texts in the header for our criteria set in the Formatting Guidelines. The font style looks good, but the contents is slightly off.
• You can probably write the LH with a bass clef, since that's what pianists are more used to reading for the LH and the number of ledger lines stays roughly the same.

Ok I made those changes!

[XiaoMigros]

Sweet, now that you're back to full Finale let's move on to formatting:

• The subtitle is a little too close to the title (and the "from" should be removed).
  Composer/Arranger text should also move a little further down from the subtitle.
• Using the Staff Tool, I would move the music down as well. A good rule of thumb is, if it can be helped, that the top of the tempo marking should be just below the bottom of the arranger text.
• The arpeggio is colliding with the accidental and should be moved slightly left.
• The 'Pno.' text should be removed.
• Oh, and the pedal text should say "con pedale" because Italian loves vowels.

The rest of the changes look great, thanks!

P.S: For future sheets, what I recommend to full Finale users is to create their sheets using our template files linked in the Formatting Guidelines. Besides having the correct page setup, they also have lots of helpful preset BPM markings, pedal texts, etc., all in line with the guidelines. Then, for MuseScore import, all you have to do is open the MusicXML in Finale and copy it into the template file, no cleaner necessary.

Alright I believe I have corrected all of the formatting issues to match the Finale template.

Pretty much! The bottom system is still a little close to the top one, and the tempo marking should be right-aligned to the time signature (rightclick/reset manual adjustments should do the trick). In the meantime this sheet gets my approval
