Question marks everywhere when opening finale

Hello, I was working on my finale project with my teacher. I airdroped my file to her computer and she has a slightly updated version.

Opinion on musical idea

Hello,

I am working on a piece and this is what I have so far. I was wondering if I could get feedback and opinions on it. I am trying to use Debussy's "Preludes" as inspiration.

Thanks

In my first measure, I have a time signature of 2/1. I want to have 16th notes playing alternating B Major chord going up the piano. But I want it to be rolling alternating from left hand to right hand and end on a G. I tried to notate that with the speedy entry. I clicked on the measure and then pr...

Speedy Entry Help

Hello, I am working on a piece and my teacher asked me to go to speedy entry. Then click in the measure and do the key command option 6. I did that and she told me hit 3 six times to put in sixteenth note rests with a bracketed 6 underneath to put them in a group. I did that but they were on top of ...

Hello, I was doing another harmonic analysis and got stuck. I did most of it but the ones with arrows and blank spaces are the ones I had trouble with. I was wondering if I could get guidance with it. Also, I wasn’t sure if the ones I labeled as seventh chords were actually seventh chords. I tried t...

Quick Part Writing Question

Hello, I am doing part writing exercise. I got it back and the teacher says I need to fix the parallel octaves. I am not sure how to do that because I cannot change the bass. Should I make the V chord in the first inversion? But then I will have an Augmented second problem. Thanks https://imgur.com/...
