That was really informative, Sky, and I'd like to thank you for posting it.
Here's a quick piece of advice in return, as a (casually) trained musician. You're making a common mistake of beginners when they first start arranging: your harmony parts are too busy, too complicated. You can get your music to sound better by sticking to more simple chords; more whole and half note parts instead of running quarters and eighths. Try listening to the auto-accompaniment that the game provides. The harmony lines are usually very simple, just changing along with the chords. Now you can do counter-melodies and make it sound good, but that requires a LOT of music theory! Maybe not the best thing when starting out.
A thought, in any case. Thanks for the thread!
