Not bad. Here are a couple of things.
- Note beaming in the intro. Dotted eighths following each other is clunky, so I'd do the beginning beamed similarly to M. 6.
- I'd do 2 measure systems. There's lots of beamings and 16th passages going on, and you've got plenty of space. It would also help deal with the remaining blank half of the sheet.

[Maelstrom]

Thanks for that first point.

I disagree on the second one, though. It ends up feeling either uneven or to open, with little middle ground.
I think it's fine how it is now.

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

Personally, I like it because it gives the arrangement more room to breathe, especially with all the beaming, ties, and the one time sig. change (which, under a 2 bar system setup, falls at the beginning of the third system).
Any updaters want to chime in on this? It's certainly readable as is, but personally I feel like a 2 bar system setup would be more conducive to neatness.

While 2-measure systems look fine, this does as well. I don't have a strong preference either way.

I'd make beat 3 of measures 6-7 as a half note and the following 16th notes in layer 2. Also why are the beams flipped for the LH there?

[Maelstrom]

Thanks.
Updated.

Take a peek at Mechonis Field (similarly afflicted) and tell me it doesn't look better this way.

[Maelstrom]

Did the margarine thing and it worked.

I can't believe it's not Butter.
