I like this option as well. There's more space for additional equipment on a later sheet so why not add two lines for tools and two lines for instruments on sheet 2?

How do you see this working? A section like the one for magic items? Don't you think that musical instruments are too uncommon to have a special place reserved for them? Then I might as well add a special place for foci, armor, and weapons, leaving very little space for equipment for anybody that only wants to use the first two pages.
Athinar, I'm not sure what you mean with adding skills to the equipment list (or exactly what you mean by your post if it is not the same as what Ohillion is talking about).

I see your point. Too much is too much. Having an all encompassing equipment list should suffice. However, if you choose to do it, I can see taking the EXP section and move it to the upper left of the first page and tieing it to the right of the Level box. Label the new section that you created space for as Professional Gear/Items (Bard/Rogue/Priest is a profession as much as it is a Class) so you don't have to add the litany of options. It's up to the player to add those items in manually. And, you can tie the weight calculation in to the overall encumberance chart. Our game group has players that always keep a handy supply of professional gear (lock picks, instruments, holy symbol, etc. Your player shouldn't leave home without these!) and that can easily be tracked here. The more mundane adventuring gear is already established and doesn't need to change.
As for space concerns, it looks as though there's ample space between the alignment line and Abilities section to maneuver. In fact, making the EXP and Level box connect is a decent option, IMHO. Move the 'Dungeons & Dragons' image up to bring it in line with the Level box. Drop the Name, Class, Backround lines below the Level box, and then to the right of that, move the Height, Hair, Alignment, etc lines. That would fill out page one quite nicely. Even your Companion page doesn't have as much space beneath this field. Stylistically, I don't know why EXP is on the bottom left of page 2. Seems odd to me when the Level box is the first thing you see on page 1 and EXP directly impacts that.
This, of course, is my opinion. And yes, I know it'll create more work for the sole sake of adding a 'Professional Gear/Items' field. So with all the being said, do or do not. I leave it up to you. You've already created what I consider a masterful piece of work.

Astromath: There is a ton of space at the bottom for notes.
MPMB: I'm not very familiar with Javascript, but I can read it. I was able to read the codes that you posted earlier with no trouble. I have no preference; merely proceed how you wish.

Here's an improvement on the Complete Spell Sheets per Class pdf: For the classes that have a limited number of spells to memorize (e.g. Wizard), link the Spells to Memorize field to the tick marks for the spells being memorized. When the number of spells being "ticked" to be memorized is checked off, a warning will pop up saying that they are about to exceed the maximum number of spells that are able to be memorized. The other possibility is adding a blue field showing the total number of spells checked off beside the spells being memorized field.
Another thing that could be done is to add a drop down list in the Cleric section for which domain the cleric has. What this will do is to automatically check off the spells specific to the domain and not count them as spells being memorized. There are other classes that could benefit from this suggestion, not just the cleric.
The last suggestions builds on the above suggestion: adding drop down boxes for classes that have an "expanded" spell list, such as Warlock with the Archfey patron. For example, this will add Faerie Fire & Sleep to the end of the 1st level spell list without having us type in the whole thing.
One thing this sheet really needs is a place to indicate the PC's level using the sheet.
I have absolutely no idea if it is possible to link the Character Sheet pdf to the Complete Spell Sheets per Class pdf or not. It would be great if there was a way. If not, please ignore this suggestion of linking the sheets.
P.S. I found a situation where I needed to add 2 companions to the character sheet. The work around is to have duplicate character sheets, one for each companion.

On the Tools, Kits and musical items have weight so they need to be an option like the Armor/Shields/Weapons in the "Add Equipment". With Tools/Kits, have the "Skills # " next to the Tool/Kit in the Equipment area and we can enter the Skill number
Add Equipment Option
Equipment Area would look like this:
Pack
Background items
Armor & Shields
Weapons
Tools/Kits
Musical Instruments
ADVENTURING GEAR
Platemail 1 70lbs
Longsword 1 4lbs
Thieves Tools (Skill 10) 1 4lbs
Flute 1 1lb
I would like to see the skills (Tools/Kits) add to the Skills area
