Yay, more Mother 3! This sheet looks pretty solid, good transcription. A few things
- I think m. 11 has a C on the bottom of the rolled chord in the right hand (instead of D)
- Use C flat instead of B natural in m. 15.
- I wouldn't recommend using half rests in 3/4 time. For the left hand of m. 1 (and similar) you can just use two quarter rests, or sustain a note throughout the measure.
- Related to the above, I think it would be nice if you tied the half note E flat in the second to last measure to an E flat in the last just to denote that the pitch is sustained (even though you already have the pedal). You could do this with the beginning section too if you want.

After that's settled, I'll get the formatting all fixed up in Finale for you!

Updated with all edits made! I opted for rests in measures 1-8 and a tie in the final measure. Let me know if I missed anything.

Cool

I went and fixed the formatting for you, as well as neatened up the pedal markings a bit (a few weren't towards the end of the measure). Giving this one my approval. Let me know if anything's amiss!

When the song repeats, an electric piano plays the melody instead - I was thinking if there was any kind of way to indicate this in the sheet, but honestly I think what you have is fine since no notes are actually different the 2nd time. Still, if you think it might be good to show this somewhere in the sheet, go ahead.

The only thing I would change right now is to add an arpeggio/rolled chord marking to beat 2 of m14 RH.

Yeah, I considered a "mf on repeat" but I decided against it. I think it's fine as is.
Added the arpeggio, let me know if you guys think of anything else.

Sounds good to me. Arpeggio looks good too. I took care of a few finishing formatting touches, like aligning all the pedal markings, giving the arpeggios some extra space, and spacing out the systems a bit more so everything fits neatly. I'll be accepting now.
