Color=irrelevant. Select the tool that looks like a "%" and then click on the sheet-JUST DON'T CLICK ON A STAFF. Then resize to about 80%. This should fix your problem.

190 measures  :o, this has got to be your most ambitious arrangement yet Night, and of an awesome song from an awesome game, no less. I really have no complaints on the arrangement itself, but there are some aesthetic issues. For example, at measure 74 and nearby, some notes of the red 2nd layer seem "misaligned", "out of position". To fix that, all you need to do is delete the misaligned note and then re-enter it.

Things to point out:

-Subtitle and arranger need to be Italicized
-Your dynamic choices...are odd...I don't think this song originally uses fortissississimo.
-RH measures that look like 13, 30, 44, 45, 46, 66, 107, 119, 122 are written incorrectly.

My motto with that song is "Play it loud and proud or gtfo. lol."

All jokes aside, you probably shouldn't go above fortissimo. That's already really freakin' loud.

Edit: also your motto's quote didn't have a closing parentheses. xD

Great arrangement of Live and Learn. You recapture everything the original brought to the table (including those parallel fifths and octaves... dunno how I feel about them on piano anymore, but since this is a rock song, have at it).

Just a few technical things to sort out. This piece has a bunch of syncopation so making that clear wherever possible will enhance the performance. You must strive to show beat 3 in every measure. Take measure 14 for example. The measure should be notated 2 8ths, 1 8th rest, 1 8th note tied to another 8th note, then dotted quarter. This happens later in measures 21, 30 (put the eighth note after the dotted quarter, then tie to the half note), 36, 44 (use a quarter instead), 44 (use a quarter note on the first tie to clear up the measure), 48, 56, 60, 66, 68, 91-92, 93, 95, skip a few, 123, 126, etc. The song is very repetitive so you should know where to check for these mistakes by now.
Measure 34 should use B# instead of C natural. Besides voice leading rules, this also clarifies the chord (G#, B#, D#, F# instead of G#, C, D#, F#?). This occurs at measures 47, 51, 55, 59, 80-81, 94, 106, 123 (F double sharp instead of G natural), 128, etc. Again, song is repetitive so fix this at the repeats as well. Sometimes there's supposed to be C naturals and D naturals; I've left those measures out from above as they need no accidental correction.
Watch out for dynamics and other marking touching other dynamics or notes or stems in measures 42-43, 64, 74, 78, 82, and 189. Be sure to watch out for this as you input these so you don't have to go back and make corrections next time.

If you want a more detailed explanation of why these corrections are necessary, feel free to PM me! Thanks for your arrangement! =D

Thanks for the nice critique pumpy! I had the dynamics spaced oddly for playback reasons, but i'll fix them xD

EDIT: OMG MY 1000th POST!!!!!!! :D
