Some things for the HD diff.
My main problem with this one is the arbitrary single notes turning into LN, and LN overlapping when its only a single instrument playing.
Important stuff is marked in red, the rest is mostly suggestions.

I'll probably have a look at MX later today or tomorrow.00:23:971
Add a note for the main synth since 00:23:971 (23971|1) is mapped to the drums.
00:24:571
Same as above.
00:26:071 (26071|3,26371|6,26671|5)
These should be single notes, this synth is mapped as singles before. If you want to keep this as LN regardless, 00:26:671 (26671|5) that LN should break at 00:26:821 because the 3 note stair that follows is the same instrument.
00:27:871 (27871|4,28171|2)
These should be single notes, same reason as above. If you want to keep this as LN regardless, 00:27:871 (27871|4) should break at 00:28:171 for the same reason as above. Refer to 01:06:271 (66271|5,66571|1) because the same pattern here is properly broken mid-way.
00:28:771
Add a note for the main synth since 00:28:771 (28771|1) is mapped to the drums.
00:29:371
Same as above.
00:30:871 (30871|4,31171|6,31471|5)
Same situation and reasoning as 00:26:071 (26071|3,26371|6,26671|5).
00:32:671 (32671|4,32971|2)
I'm not sure i understand why these LN are here and which instrument they are mapped to. I highly recommend removing them and further mapping the percussion instruments that you started with at 00:32:071. It would fill that area up nicely and stays consistent with the earlier notes.
00:33:496 (33496|3)
Remove this note as it is not mapped to anything.
00:42:571 (42571|0,42646|1,42721|2,42796|3)
I'd recommend changing these to LN for consistency as that instrument is mapped to LN in the upcoming section.
00:52:171 (52171|2,52246|3,52321|4,52396|5) -
Same as above.
00:52:471 (52471|6)
Extend this LN to 00:53:671.
00:54:721 (54721|2,54796|1)
Change these to LN for consistency with the LN mapping for this instrument.
00:56:671 to 00:57:271
This section should have LNs for the main flute, feels weird to have a gap when the instrument doesn't stop.
01:00:496 (60496|2)
Remove this note, it's not mapped to anything.
01:00:571 (60571|0,60646|1,60721|2,60796|3,60871|4)
These should be LN for consistency. It could also be changed slightly to flow better into the next long LN like this.
01:01:096 (61096|0,61321|1,61471|2,61696|3,61921|4)
I recommend shifting all these 1 column to the right, because 01:00:871 (60871|0) should be an LN since its the same instrument.
01:03:271 to 01:04:171
The difficulty increase for this section by making them doubles doesn't make a lot of sense, its still only the main synth + percussion. I'd recommend keeping the same pattern as 00:29:671.
01:04:471 (64471|3,64771|6,65071|5)
Same issue and reason as above at 00:26:071 (26071|3,26371|6,26671|5).
01:06:271 (66271|5,66571|1)
I'd make these singles.
01:08:071 to 01:08:971
Same reasoning as before where i mentioned them becoming doubles compared to earlier in the song, when its still sounds the same. I'd recommend keeping the same pattern as 00:29:671.
01:09:271 (69271|3,69571|6,69871|5)
Same issue and reason as above at 00:26:071 (26071|3,26371|6,26671|5).
01:11:071 (71071|0,71221|0)
These should be shifted up 1/4 like this. The cymbals alternate instead of being hit at the same time.
01:11:671 - 01:20:671
I'd highly recommend mapping the flute in this entire section, it feels way too empty as it is now. Plus the section before it isn't particularly intense to warrant such a long break.
01:12:871 (72871|3)
This should be a single note.
01:17:671 (77671|3)
Same as above.
01:20:671 to 01:21:271
I'd highly recommend changing this section, the 2 LN are basically mapped to nothing. Something like this might work, the triple drums would be consistent with 01:18:721 and the flute is basically a simple 1/4 stair.
01:21:271 to 01:22:471
This area should also have flute mapping since the upcoming area does as well.
01:26:071 (86071|5)
This LN should stop at 01:26:671 since the pitch changes and its only 1 instrument.
01:26:671 (86671|1)
This LN should extend all the way to 01:28:171 if you want it to be an LN in the first place.
01:27:271 (87271|3)
This should be a single note.
01:30:571 (90571|6,90608|5,90646|4,90683|1,90721|2,90758|3,90796|4,90833|5,90871|6)
These make very little sense. It's not a 1/8 stair, its still a 1/4 stair like 01:30:271 (90271|6,90346|4,90421|2,90496|0). The only difference there is the 4 drum hits in the background during that.
01:30:871
An LN mapped to the background synth should start here, it is the same instrument as 01:31:171 (91171|6,91471|4,91771|2) and so on.
01:32:071
Same as above.
01:33:271
Same as above.
01:34:471
Same as above.
01:35:371 to 01:35:971
There should be 2 LN in this area, same as above.
01:35:971 (95971|1,96271|2,96571|3,96871|0,97171|1,97471|2,97771|3)
This is probably the worst part of the map. These are mapped to the background synth as before but they are artificially extended to create a massive difficulty spike that really does not fit in this difficulty. This is where the LN should stop, its still just the same background synth changing pitch.
01:38:071 to 01:40:471
From this area onwards the same background synth still plays, why does the mapping for it have 01:38:071 (98071|4) in it? That LN should be 3 separate ones with the same length as before. The background synth continues all the way to 01:40:471 and should really be mapped for consistency.
01:35:671 (95671|6)
This high-pitched flute is really hard to hear, might not warrant its own LN. Also the sound ends at 01:38:071, not 01:38:896.
01:38:971 (98971|6,99046|3)
Remove these, they aren't mapped to anything.
01:39:271 (99271|6,99496|5,99721|4,99871|5,100171|6)
These should be removed entirely, they're basically mapped to nothing and even if they were they really don't fit in this difficulty. I'd recommend just changing that section to a percussion map like earlier on in the song.
01:40:771 to 01:41:971
I'm not sure the difficulty bump here to doubles is really needed, this part sounds exactly the same as earlier in the song which makes these added notes basically ghost notes.
01:41:971 (101971|2,102121|3,102271|4,102421|5,102571|6,102721|4,102871|5,103021|3)
These should be single notes, as earlier in the song they are mapped as such. No need to increase difficulty for no reason.
01:43:171 (103171|0,103471|6,103771|3,103921|4,103996|5)
These should be singles, same reason as above.
01:44:971 (104971|4,105271|0)
I'd recommend these be singles as well, but at least they are breaking properly unlike the start of the song.
01:45:271 (105271|5,105421|5,105571|6)
These should be removed, they are basically duplicates of the triple drum. The sound isn't any louder than before so it should really be singles.
01:45:871
This section is again doubles for no reason, basically ghost notes.
01:46:771 (106771|2,106921|3,107071|4,107221|6,107371|5,107521|4,107671|2,107821|1,107971|0,108271|6,108571|0,108721|1,108796|2)
These should all be singles for consistency with earlier mapping.
01:49:771 (109771|5)
This should be a single note, there is nothing that's being held down.
01:52:321 (112321|6,112396|4,112471|2,112471|5,112546|3,112621|4,112621|1,112696|2,112771|0)
This section makes very little sense, this is basically what it sounds like. Not in that exact pattern of course.
01:52:621 (112621|1)
Remove this note, there is no drum hit here. 01:52:471 (112471|2) is the drum hit, and hit sound should be added to that one instead.
01:52:771 (112771|3,113071|2,113371|0,113521|3,113596|6)
These make no sense again. I can somewhat understand the first 2 being LN if you really want to keep it that way, but the last 3 should really be only singles. It's only 1 instrument.
01:54:571 (114571|6,114871|3)
These should be singles, or the right LN should break properly at 01:54:871. Still only 1 instrument.
01:56:371 (116371|4,116521|5,116671|6,116821|2,116971|1,117121|0,117271|5,117421|4,117571|3,117871|2,118171|3,118321|1,118396|5)
All of these are basically the same as before, they should really be single notes and the last 3 are only 1 instrument so they should not overlap and break properly.
01:58:921 (118921|5,119071|1)
Remove these notes.
02:01:021 (121021|3)
This LN should end at 02:01:171.
Add a note for the main synth since 00:23:971 (23971|1) is mapped to the drums.
00:24:571
Same as above.
00:26:071 (26071|3,26371|6,26671|5)
These should be single notes, this synth is mapped as singles before. If you want to keep this as LN regardless, 00:26:671 (26671|5) that LN should break at 00:26:821 because the 3 note stair that follows is the same instrument.
00:27:871 (27871|4,28171|2)
These should be single notes, same reason as above. If you want to keep this as LN regardless, 00:27:871 (27871|4) should break at 00:28:171 for the same reason as above. Refer to 01:06:271 (66271|5,66571|1) because the same pattern here is properly broken mid-way.
00:28:771
Add a note for the main synth since 00:28:771 (28771|1) is mapped to the drums.
00:29:371
Same as above.
00:30:871 (30871|4,31171|6,31471|5)
Same situation and reasoning as 00:26:071 (26071|3,26371|6,26671|5).
00:32:671 (32671|4,32971|2)
I'm not sure i understand why these LN are here and which instrument they are mapped to. I highly recommend removing them and further mapping the percussion instruments that you started with at 00:32:071. It would fill that area up nicely and stays consistent with the earlier notes.

00:42:571 (42571|0,42646|1,42721|2,42796|3)
I'd recommend changing these to LN for consistency as that instrument is mapped to LN in the upcoming section.
00:52:171 (52171|2,52246|3,52321|4,52396|5) -
Same as above.
00:52:471 (52471|6)
Extend this LN to 00:53:671.
00:54:721 (54721|2,54796|1)
Change these to LN for consistency with the LN mapping for this instrument.
00:56:671 to 00:57:271
This section should have LNs for the main flute, feels weird to have a gap when the instrument doesn't stop.
01:00:496 (60496|2)
Remove this note, it's not mapped to anything.
01:00:571 (60571|0,60646|1,60721|2,60796|3,60871|4)
These should be LN for consistency. It could also be changed slightly to flow better into the next long LN like this.
01:01:096 (61096|0,61321|1,61471|2,61696|3,61921|4)
I recommend shifting all these 1 column to the right, because 01:00:871 (60871|0) should be an LN since its the same instrument.

01:06:271 (66271|5,66571|1)

Same as above.
01:34:471
Same as above.
01:35:371 to 01:35:971
There should be 2 LN in this area, same as above.
01:35:971 (95971|1,96271|2,96571|3,96871|0,97171|1,97471|2,97771|3)

01:39:271 (99271|6,99496|5,99721|4,99871|5,100171|6)

These should be single notes, as earlier in the song they are mapped as such. No need to increase difficulty for no reason.
01:43:171 (103171|0,103471|6,103771|3,103921|4,103996|5)
These should be singles, same reason as above.
01:44:971 (104971|4,105271|0)
I'd recommend these be singles as well, but at least they are breaking properly unlike the start of the song.

These should all be singles for consistency with earlier mapping.
01:49:771 (109771|5)
This should be a single note, there is nothing that's being held down.
01:52:321 (112321|6,112396|4,112471|2,112471|5,112546|3,112621|4,112621|1,112696|2,112771|0)
This section makes very little sense, this is basically what it sounds like. Not in that exact pattern of course.
01:52:621 (112621|1)
Remove this note, there is no drum hit here. 01:52:471 (112471|2) is the drum hit, and hit sound should be added to that one instead.
01:52:771 (112771|3,113071|2,113371|0,113521|3,113596|6)
These make no sense again. I can somewhat understand the first 2 being LN if you really want to keep it that way, but the last 3 should really be only singles. It's only 1 instrument.
01:54:571 (114571|6,114871|3)
These should be singles, or the right LN should break properly at 01:54:871. Still only 1 instrument.
01:56:371 (116371|4,116521|5,116671|6,116821|2,116971|1,117121|0,117271|5,117421|4,117571|3,117871|2,118171|3,118321|1,118396|5)
All of these are basically the same as before, they should really be single notes and the last 3 are only 1 instrument so they should not overlap and break properly.
01:58:921 (118921|5,119071|1)
Remove these notes.
02:01:021 (121021|3)
This LN should end at 02:01:171.
