Saw your shout but.......I don't have Sibelius/Finale. Is there any free software to let someone just view the file?
I can hear a couple of problems with the harmony (voice leading?) according to traditional rules but that doesn't mean you have to follow them. If you wanted to learn good 4-part harmony, traditional hymns are the route (or Anglican chants), along with a book. Once you learn to write out scales, then triads, it's just a step-by-step thing. Minor keys are more difficult so deal with major keys until you're happy about what you're doing.
Incidentally, the rules are no bad thing. Even if you don't want to follow them exactly, you'll be aware of what you're doing. Look on them as guidelines to good musical taste.
