I fixed this as I did with your other submission. I cut the tempo in half and thereby changed the note values, 225 is way too fast 110 is appropriate. Also added some slurs and stuff.

here it is:

You obviously know a lot more about Finale than I do; I wouldn't know how to change the note values automatically (or did you do it manually)?

I prefer having a tempo of 225 with eighth notes than 110 with sixteenth notes, as I find it easier to read, and it's technically the same speed of playing either way.

I have a lot of other sheet music that I've done this way, so if there's a way to change it automatically I'd like to know, as it would take too much time to do it all manually.

Don't know if you can do it in notepad, probably not. But in Finale 2014 full version here's how you do:
1) Highlight the part you want to change note values in
2) Utilities > Change > Note Durations..
3) select how much you want to change the note values. Higher percentages gives longer note values, Lower percentages gives shorter note value.

I'm pretty sure the 110 is the "right" tempo, but I'll wait and let other people express their opinion first. 225 is an extremely fast tempo, just listen to the metronome: http://a.bestmetronome.com/

Also not sure about the if the note spelling is right. Measure 5 the Cn should probably be B# and measure 4 left hand those An should probably be Gx.(my version)

Thanks for the tip on how to change the notation quickly! I have an older version of Finale full I got when I was a student and it has this feature.

You're absolutely right, 110 is more reasonable, however I usually prefer a score that's easier to read, and having eighth notes instead of sixteenth aids in that endeavor. As I mentioned, it would end up being played the same speed.

B# is probably correct. I always avoid double sharps/flats if I can avoid it.

There's a simple solution to this:
110 HALF notes per minute in Cut-Time.

This will preserve your current notation, and still be correct.

Even if you're going to use your version with probably 2/2 half note = 110 as Bespinben said, you can still add some things I fixed like:
glissando at the end of measure 15
measure 16-17: use some staccato 8ths, it makes it easier to read. Maybe also do this in the last two measures.
Slurs, if you feel like.
