Misaligned notes - both layers throughout the song, LH
You could get this to fit on 2 pgs easy if you resized to 90% and fit 6 measures in a system. It's quite a nice fit, in fact.

Altissimo

I don't actually see the misalignment issue. It's probably because I'm running on very little sleep though. If you could point out where that's happening that would be great.

Fixed the pages thing though

Measure 3 LH.

Use quarter rests instead of half rests in 44-45.

A few places look a bit confusing to me. Like m. 7 and similar where the bass jumps above the other layer I feel like that's sort of an odd way to write it. 29 is kinda funny too because the dyads repeat the bass note (and there's an extra accidental there)

I'm not sure what's happening with the staccato tied note in 43-44 but that D can't be held with either hand so perhaps take it out?

43 LH is flipped wrong.

m20, 24, 28 LH. Those chords don't need to be an octave above their original pitch. It just sounds weird.
LH cords in 36 are the same as 33
8va hitting the barline makes it hard to tell where it ends. Might be nice if it was an 8vb instead.
m39 RH - Maybe use layer 3 for the descending voice? Right now it looks like it's part of the chord
m43 chord same as m35
m44 Chord should be F#+B with D added on 3rd beat
m45 should be E+G#
Same chord in next measure, all you need to do is add the E
The last measure, in both staves, is only quarter notes, with 2 quarter rests

Altissimo

Fixed, I think. Not terribly sure what to do with m. 39 tho

FireArrow

Flip the stems of the 2nd layer or just put it in the base clef and tell the reader to play it with the R.H.

I think I would sooner see measure 37 written out like this:


Also the rests at the end in the RH can be fused into a single layer.

In cases like measure 28-29 LH where you have a note being held yet still rearticulated, I don't think I necessarily have a problem with this (because the way to negotiate it is obvious), but I know some many pianists would. I would like to see a third opinion on this but my point being that you may have to either let that note hold through, or transpose the note (whichever fits the texture better).

Other than those things, I like it. Here's the file with the first two things that I mentioned fixed.

As far as I can tell, that sort of overlap only happens in 28-29.

Edited OP with your updated version.
