Have you played around with the staff/system staff size on this one?  Definitely seems like the first measures are a bit too high relative to the credits and such.

-at measure 15 RH, I was wondering if you viewed beat 1's octaves more as a continuation of the rhythm in m14.  Only really asking because based off original you could put beats 3-4 of m15 up an octave to match up with beats 1-2 instead of beat 1 of measure 16.  Sorry if not super clear what I'm asking here but really just asking why you did that vs. this screenshot (plz ignore beat 3 being a quarter note)

-m8 - move the forte down a tiny bit, I know it is far from the cresc. but it is just a tiny bit high imo lol
-I think as a matter of preference the rests in m18 RH's bottom layer could go up to normal rest height
-m22 RH beat 3 sounds like a staccato could go on this D
-The last note of m23 sounds like two grace notes on the Bb (a G and Ab/G#).  I'm assuming the notes that fill out beat 4 in the RH are augmentation the chords, but just an alternate idea to have the grace notes instead

One of the systems was lonely on the last page and that vexed me so I squeezed everything on the first page. I went ahead and moved them all down just a touch so they're not as close to the top.

I first arranged this like a year ago and I have no idea why I did that. The only thing I can think of is "oh the brass are playing so lets go an octave down for that timbre" but why wouldn't I do that for beat 1?? Anyways I moved it up an octave lol

Looking good! Just a few comments:
-m2, 3 and 6: Ab on beat 2.5 in the R.H. should be G
-m7: Cb on beat 2.5 in the R.H. should be Bb. Also, I think it'd make sense to write the Bb on beat 3 as A#, as you've written beat 3-4 as a F# major chord.
-m15: I hear a Gn in this bar too, maybe you can add it to the R.H. chords?
-m16: Maybe you could the lower G#'s in the R.H. on beats 1.5, 2, 3.5 and 4 in a separate layer, as these aren't part of the melody.
-m20-21: In the R.H., I hear the A and B on beat 3 and 4 of m20 and Cn on beat 1 of m21 an octave below too.
-m23: I think it makes sense to write all G#'s in this bar as Ab's (beat 1 R.H. and beat 3-4 L.H.), as this is the V7 of Eb major (which comes at the repeat).

Awesome! The flat of the Ab in the R.H. in m23 beat 1 is missing though, selecting the note and pressing ctrl+shift+- (minus) should fix that (or just deleting and re-entering the note), but aside from that it looks good to me! I'll approve pending that ^^

Nice sheet

• m1-7: The main horn melody gets lost in the texture the way you wrote, so it's unclear (unless you have heard the track previously) what the melody actually is. I would recommend writing the upper notes in its own layer, but only for the specific notes that need it. To do that without the hassle of actually using a 2nd layer (since the rhythms are shared between layers), use the Split Stem Tool under Special Tools. You can get some pretty good results with it:
  
• m11 RH: Maybe some staccatos on beats 1.5 and 3.5, like in m4?
• m14-15: I hear the diminuendo in m14, but it sounds like it crescendos a bit in m15, still just to mp though.
• m17 RH beat 1.5 sounds like two 16th notes to me, rather than a single 8th note. I'm assuming you intentionally simplified it, which is fine.

I didn't notice it was 16th notes but I'm gonna pretend like I didn't notice on purpose
