Some of the patterns here will be based off the original Beginner difficulty. Because of that, portions of this section may become redundant
About pitch relevancy, I didn't want this too pitch-dependency. Only for finger balance.
Between 00:02:719 - and 00:10:386 -, I'm assuming you're following pitch relevancy
00:03:053 (3053|4,3386|4) - move these to {6} and 00:03:719 (3719|6) - to {4}, since 00:03:719 - has a lower pitch
00:04:053 (4053|4) - is not the same pitch as 00:03:386 -. Since it's also causing a large hand imbalance, move it to the left hand, preferably {2}. Then move 00:04:386 (4386|2) - to {0}, to keep the same shape plus pitch relevancy in relation to the above note. You don't want to move them to {3} and {2} respectively and have 00:04:719 (4719|5,5053|3) - on {1} and {0} because that will put too many notes in the left hand
Move 00:05:053 (5053|3) - to {1} and 00:05:386 (5386|1) - to {3}, to follow pitch relevancy. It doesn't ruin hand balance either. 00:05:719 (5719|3) - now goes to {4}. If you want a stair pattern, the note at 00:05:053 - can go to {2}. If you don't, 00:06:053 (6053|5) - can go to {6} if you want; column 5 was played earlier than 6, 00:04:719 (4719|5) - compared to 00:03:386 (3386|6) -
Move 00:08:719 (8719|2) - to {1}. It ruins the {6,4,2} pattern before but it means it doesn't stack with 00:07:719 (7719|2) - and it has the same pitch as 00:09:719 (9719|5) -, so it's nice for the same finger to play it, even if it is on different hands. You did the same for 00:06:719 (6719|2,7053|4,7719|2) -, where all the notes are the same pitch and are played with only the index fingers.
Move 00:10:386 (10386|3) - to {2} and 00:10:719 (10719|6) - to {1}. Pitch wise, it's nice because the notes are descending one column (if you ignore the spacebar), like the pitches. In terms of playability, the patterns are too right heavy, so you should move notes to the left hand anyway. If you have done this, 00:11:053 (11053|2,11386|2) - obviously should go in the RH now, preferably {6} since {4} and {5} were played more recently
00:12:053 (12053|4,12386|2,12719|5,13053|2,13386|4,13719|1,14053|4,14386|2,14719|5) - there doesn't seem to be a musical reason explaining why these notes are alternating between {1}, {2}, {4} and {5}. Include {0}, {3} and {6} if you're using random patterns, or follow pitch relevancy
Since 00:15:053 (15053|3) - has the same pitch as 00:14:719 (14719|5) -, it would be nice for it to be played by the same finger, explained before. Move to {1}. The next two notes are also in the RH, so you should put it in the LH anyway for hand balance
00:17:719 (17719|6,18053|4,18386|2,18719|0) - this pattern fits well because the notes are descending in pitch. However, 00:16:719 (16719|4,17719|6,18053|4) - is uncomfortable because you're having three notes in a row in the same hand, using only two columns and you're having an LN release in one hand whilst playing a SN in the same hand at the same time. You should therefore rearrange the notes in the previous bars. I'd move 00:15:719 (15719|6) - to {4} and 00:16:053 (16053|4) - to {6} to follow pitch relevancy. Also following pitch relevancy, 00:16:386 (16386|2) - can be moved to {3} and the LN at 00:16:719 - can be moved to {0}, to show the descending pitch. The SN at 00:16:719 - should be deleted now, as it was inconsistent. Now, 00:17:719 (17719|6) - and 00:18:719 (18719|0) - can be moved to {5} and {1} if you want. The new pattern still shows that the pitch is going down but has better column balance
00:19:053 (19053|4,19386|4) - can go to {6} if you accepted the above. Otherwise move it to {5}. Basically, means that you don't have random stacks on column {4}
Like with before, I don't see a reason why 00:20:053 (20053|2,20386|4,20719|1,21053|4,21386|2,21719|5,22053|2,22386|4,22719|1) - would alternate between {1}, {2}, {4} and {5}. Include the other columns and/or follow pitch relevancy
Move 00:19:719 (19719|6) - to the LH, since there was a jack with the two notes before. It makes it easier on the player and prevents the patterns from being too right heavy
00:24:053 (24053|2) - move to {6}. It will then make a {6,4,2} stair with 00:24:386 (24386|4,24719|2) -, follows pitch relevancy and is hand balanced. The SN at 00:24:719 - should also be deleted, which used to be in {6}
Just pointing that out if you're interested
