For reference:
Before I get any help with formatting on the sheets, I'd like to keep them as is for now so I can fix any articulations and other odds and ins in Musescore so I won't have any trouble making the suggested changes because of the limited features of Finale Notepad. Once all of those are good to go, I'd then like the help with the formatting. Thanks for understanding!

Very nice sheet! I'm always happy to see more adventurous arrangements like these find their way to NSM... Now for some feedback:

  • m3, 24 beat 3.5 RH: When you have 2 8th notes tied across beats 1-2 or 3-4, you should make them a single quarter note.
  • m6, m9 beat 2.5 RH: I would make the Dbs C#s instead, since this note actually is part of a chord (A major) rather than a continuation of the chromatic line.
  • Nice attention to details with your articulations, but there are a few I disagree with: m6 and m9 sound the same to me, and m1 and m22 sound the same (but keep m24 the way it is, that staccato is definitely there on beat 2).
  • I would put this piece in cut time rather than 4/4 (without changing note values/tempo), since it has that kind of double-time feel (almost like a ragtime piece).

I'll fix up the formatting and add page numbers and swing playback once these things are fixed.

I'm glad you like the piece! As for the changes, all have been accounted for, so it's ready for you to format. Thanks for the help!

Always glad to help! I made some formatting changes so it's all on one page now, added measure numbers, added swing playback, and made a few extra changes for you that I didn't notice before: I split up the dotted half rest in the pickup bar since generally in 4/4 you don't use dotted rests; The D#s in m4 and m25 were changed to Ebs (F#dim7 chord); The A# in m11 LH was changed to a Bb (chromatic descent to the A in m12).

With this all done, I now approve of this sheet.

Looks pretty good, just one thing: unlike the previous times the C# on beat 4 in the left hand of bar 31 is actually a An, surprisingly enough.  Other than that I think this is pretty neat.

Since that note is just a minor issue, I went ahead and edited the files again with that change. Should be good to go now!
