Good arrangement!

some suggestions I have:

-Cross-staff would be excellent in measure 1 and 2. Then you have the right hand remain in treble-clef.
-You could have the measure per system as: 2,4,4. It might look better having the repeated section on the two later systems, but the drawback is that the first system is going to be a bit stretched out.

I agree.

Eh, I don't like it when parts are stretched out that much.

Added the cross-staff thing. I also implemented the 2, 4, 4 thing but the exact distribution is up to the mods to decide somewhat collaboratively.

There's not a very satisfying measure distribution with the current material, BUT here's a solution if you're willing to do a little work:

-Distribute the measures into 4 systems: 3, 3, 3, 1
-Compose a 2 measure cadence to fill in the gap, resulting in: 3, 3, 3, 3
-For ideas, I rather like using the iv6 -> I cadence for this sort of song (think "Bubbles Shining Over the Sea", which is an endless loop of this progression)

EDIT AGAIN: Never mind I think I done went and fixed it.

Haha hey I'm the one against composing cadences, remember? XD

Maybe have 3,3,2,2. That way there will no single-measure-system. And I also don't think a cadence is needed, the song loops perfectly fine. 

Also measure 3: The dynamics are a bit obscure I think. Maybe notate a F between the staves and a mf below the LH, which I assume you meant (RH plays F, LH plays mf).

I like the measure distribution as is. To me, having the notes spaced evenly is more important aesthetically than making sure the last system is filled up.

Sheet looks beautiful now. Dynamics are fine as is, since writing one dynamic usually implies to emphasize the melody over the accompaniment anyway.

One thing I'm concerned about is how exactly do you intend m. 3, 6, and 10 to be played? I understand using the RH is implicit, but at exactly what point should it come in?

I guess all I'm asking for really is an RH marking or a solid line  ::)
