Hm, usually recommenting/discussing is kinda useless because mappers are pigheaded but since you bother to provide reasons, I think it won't be in vain.
Regarding the one at 02:10:587 (1,1,2) - I have to tell you that there is not circular motion due to slider leniency.
This is the spot that actually led me to even comment on this map in spite of my experience that most mappers seem to deem it as a personal insult if you mod their bubbled map without being a BN.
The tight time window between 02:10:974 - and 02:11:103 (1) - encourages abusing sliderleniency a lot.
Cursorflow with abuse of slider leniency:
Based on what you said this is undesired as there's no circular flow motion. Instead the player waits halfway into the slider because it is significantly easier to play.
I suppose what you have in mind is this:
But as mentioned, as it is right now, this flow is not encouraged.
On top of it, the cursorspeedchange from the curled slider to the 1/3 slider is very massive if you play the pattern like Auto which doesn't seem quite right either.
I tried to enforce some circular flow with my screenshot here:
I mentioned for a reason that my solution isn't polished though and I think your concerns regarding readibility of my screenshot are very valid.
I also urged you to experiment with this spot which you seem to have entirely missed though.
I still highly recommend more experimentation here.
Regarding the 1/3 slider during the guitar solo part I just want to drop the note that it is hard to identify as a 1/3 slider in the first place, therefore placing 4 on the white tick to ease getting back into polarity doesn't look like the most intuitive way to give this pattern maximum readibility cause when I playtested the map I actually hit 4 late because I couldn't identify the repeatslider as 1/3(and therefore the note after being on the whitetick) before starting the slider which left me with very little time to adjust my timing for 4.
That being said I DID actually look at the Hard/Catharsis too but found nothing that really bothered me enough to do some insignificant modding that won't affect quality on a scale big enough to justify putting myself at risk of an answer full of denials because the mapper doesn't want to pop his bubble when the second BN could qualify the map any second.
I hope my elaborations helped you understand what my actual issues with the map were. Just trying to be helpful~
