There are still a few differences here:

Bar 1: As others have said, the third beat in the 
upper staff should be an E, not an F-sharp.

Bar 84: The decrescendo should end a beat 
earlier. Surely this should match what you have 
(correctly) in bars 92, 100, 108, and 116?

I'm puzzled by repeated reminder accidentals on tied notes in:
Bar 110: Natural sign before the tied C in the lower staff
Bar 112: Sharp sign before the tied F-sharp in the upper staff
Bar 120: Sharp sign before the tied F-sharp in the upper staff
Bar 122: Sharp sign before the tied F-sharp in the upper staff
Bar 124: Natural sign before the tied C in the lower staff

Surely these are simply confusing? (They are not 
present in the original.) Even if the accidentals 
in the previous bars were not reminders, they 
would affect the tied notes too, and - since the 
notes are tied - they couldn't be anything else 
but the same pitch. (The accidental in bar 120 
would be necessary if it were not a reminder one, 
since a system break now occurs here, but that 
doesn't apply in this case and Lilypond would 
insert it automatically anyway.) This problem 
seems to result from your use of the chord 
repetition symbol "q"; to avoid this, you may 
want to repeat the chords explicitly instead - without the exclamation marks.
