Is there a better way to write this out?
I'm writing a piece where the piano is essentially arpeggiating different chords. I do not read piano sheet music, so I'm not sure how this would actually look to a piano player. I'll fix all the messyness of it later on and take care of all that stuff, but right now I'm just thinking about how to format what I'm hearing in my head. Are there too many notes for one measure? Is there a better way to write it out? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

The rsts in bar 15 could be cleaned up.
The rest looks proper to me, unless there is something that I just don't understand, although I think that's unlikely.
What about it gave you the concern that it might not be proper?
I'm just not familiar with what sheet music for piano normally looks like, so I didn't know if taking up that much space for one measure was a problem or not. Thank you for your reply!
I feel the only thing that would be "wrong" is the format in which you put the notes. The way you wrote it it seems much more difficult than it has to be. Instead. you could boost the tempo and separate those notes into different measures.

I think what you mean is to change the "basic beat", the bottom 4 in the time sig. For example, making the basic beat a 1/2 instead of 1/4. That would allow one to change 32nds into 16ths, etc.
I don't think that would really make it easier.
As to the amount of space the music takes, that is a function of what you are writing, and if you want that, that is the amount of space it takes.
If you go to Layout>page, you could reduce the scaling which might put more bars on a line, but at the cost of reduced size therefore making it harder to read.
