If you put 3 measures per system, it makes things a lot less cramped (especially for the LH with the 2nd layer). You can keep it all on 2 pages total still if you fit 5 systems per page (so you'll have to tweak the title page a bit to make it fit).

*Measure 20 ~ Either spell the chromatic descent as F, Fb, Eb, Ebb, Db, Cb, Bb or spell is as F, E, Eb, D, Db, Cb, Bb. Right now you're spelling it with both an Fb and a D.
EDIT: Although, I do perhaps see the merit it that, as you could see the D as a raised 7th and the Fb as a flat 9th in relation to the tonal center.

I apologize for the vague complaint, but you could find a better way to notate the rhythms in mm. 16 and 23-24. For instance, you frequently write sixteenth notes followed by a rest, which is much more easily readable (and accurate in this case) as staccato eighth notes. I would double check those couple measures.

I suppose I'll go with the Ebb (partly because I just updated the sheet). Not that it matters too much, though.

I think I'll leave that as it is. The dotted 8th-16th-(8th rest)-8th in beats 3 and 4 are more commonly used, and writing the first 8th note as a 16th-16th rest looks even messier.

All right! I enjoyed this arrangement. Have you gotten through this whole OST yet? xD

Doesn't matter!? Blasphemy!
Good choice. I would do the Ebb too.

Sorry being the king of nit-pick, but I noticed that the space between the systems is uneven. In most piano music I've encountered, you can vary the space between the treble and bass staves, but the space between each system should be constant.

Not all of them I think. I have yet to submit 3 and skipped arranging 1.

Is that a thing? I guess it's a thing. Gonna fix that.
