You got the text formatting right. O.o No one ever gets that on their first try.....
You probably know it looks messy, but you don't know how to fix it. Yet....
First of all, you can flip the note stems by pressing L. You will sometimes need to press it twice (or once for every note bared together). Just keep pressing it and they will flip. The second problem is the out of place rests. If you select a note, you can move left and right by pressing the left and right buttons, and move the note or rest up or down with the up or down arrows. I recently found out you can move between notes vertically by holding ctrl when pressing up or down. And holding shift while pressing up or down will move it up or down an octave. It might clean things up and make them more accurate by turning the halves into quarters. You also need to keep playability in mind. On this site, you should never be telling the player to play notes more than a 10th apart, btw. There are ways around this, like arpeggiating, or playing on two different beats while using the pedal, but I don't feel that either would be appropriate here. Finally, you must minimize the number of layers. If you have two different layers playing at the same beat, combine them into one (eg 2nd to last measure on the first page). You can use R to hide rests if a layer drops out at the beginning of a measure, but use that sparingly. You will need to have someone with Finale add measure numbers, working repeats, and remove the Pno. mark, but that is whay
this thread is for. I'd help, but I have Finale '11, which can't open files saved by anything newer.
