RRM Modding QueueI said I'd try to make this short but I obviously failed at that. Sorry :/
It's still shorter than my typical mod so there's that, I guess
The suggestions in the consistency section will ruin the patterns made in the patterning section. However, I've placed the patterning section before the consistency section to show you some uncomfortable patterns, which should make it easier for you to identify them yourself
If any of the suggestions create new uncomfortable patterns, make sure you fix them as well

MXPatterningMove 00:05:084 (5084|2,5529|2) - to {3} and 00:05:306 (5306|3) - to {2}. 00:04:417 (4417|2,4640|2,5084|2) - is heavy on {2}
Move 00:09:306 (9306|2) - to {3} and 00:09:529 (9529|3) - to {2}, 00:08:640 (8640|2,8973|2,9306|2) - is heavy on {2}
00:26:417 (26417|0,26529|1,26751|0,26973|1,27084|0,27306|1) - is LH heavy
00:27:529 (27529|2,27529|3,27973|3,27973|2,28417|2,28417|3,28862|3,28862|2) - makes the RH part pretty bland
00:29:751 (29751|0,29862|1,29973|2,30084|3) - feels like weird patterning to me, cause a {0,1,2,3} pattern makes it seem like there's going to be an ascending part in the melody. This feels slightly more weird, cause the notes are mapping three different sounds. Not really that important but I'd change 00:29:751 (29751|0,29862|1,29973|2,30084|3) - to {0,2,1,3}
00:30:306 (30306|2,30640|2,30973|2,31306|2) - is heavy on {2}. Since I still kinda want 00:30:862 (30862|1,30973|2,31084|3,31195|0,31306|2,31306|1) - to have an ascending pattern, I'd just move all the notes by two spaces; like 00:30:862 (30862|1) - to {3}. 00:30:973 (30973|2) - to {0}, etc
00:39:306 (39306|3) - should go in the LH, as you don't want 00:38:751 (38751|2,38862|3,39084|2,39306|3) -
00:40:417 (40417|3,40640|2,40751|3,40973|2,41306|3) - is very heavy on the RH
01:25:973 (85973|3,86084|2,86195|0,86195|1,86306|3,86417|2,86529|1,86640|3,86640|0,86751|2,86862|1,86973|0,87084|2,87084|3,87195|1,87306|0,87417|3,87529|1,87529|2) - uses a very basic {3,2,1,0,3...} pattern. You probably want to change that a bit
Consistency00:04:195 (4195|3) - can't hear any sounds that support an LN, remove it
00:10:973 (10973|3) - can't hear anything, remove note. It sounds like a single LN starting at 00:10:862 - and ending at 00:10:973 - for the violin
00:11:417 (11417|0) - I don't hear any sustained note here. If you're mapping the violin, it starts at 00:11:306 -
00:20:084 (20084|3) - ghost note
00:22:751 - is missing a double for the snare, same sound as 00:22:640 (22640|1,22640|2) -
There are missing notes at 00:23:417 -, 00:23:640 -, 00:23:862 - and 00:24:084 -, which have a mix of kicks and drums
00:27:862 - is technically missing a note for the violin. It's weird to leave out, considering that you have mapping the violin in other places with a single SN
I can't hear any sounds supporting 00:30:973 (30973|2) - and 00:31:195 (31195|0) -
00:32:529 (32529|2) -, 00:32:751 (32751|2) - and 00:32:973 (32973|2) - are missing notes for kicks/drums
The LNs between 00:33:084 - and 00:40:973 - don't seem to be mapped to anything in particular. I'd remove them all. In addition, you're ignoring a lot of the sounds in this section. You should be adding notes in like at 00:33:417 -, 00:33:751 - and 00:33:973 - for kicks, etc. Whilst it might make it similar to SC, the current version doesn't feel very nice to play, considering that you're ignoring a lot of the sounds in a seemingly inconsistent manner
00:42:084 - is missing notes for a snare
00:42:973 - ^
00:43:640 (43640|1) - ghost note
00:46:973 - and 00:47:195 - are missing notes for the drum. Same with 00:48:751 - and 00:48:973 -
00:49:529 (49529|0) - ghost note
Like with the section before, I don't see a reason for the LNs between 00:50:862 - and 01:14:862 -. They don't seem to be mapped to any specific instrument and they don't change at the same time as the chords of the song. I also can't tell why 00:53:529 (53529|1,53973|0) - has two LNs
01:04:973 (64973|2,64973|3) - ghost notes
01:16:751 (76751|2,76862|3,76862|1,77084|3,77084|0,77306|1,77306|2,77529|0,77529|3) -, 01:18:529 (78529|2,78640|3,78640|1,78862|0,78862|2,79084|3,79084|2,79306|0,79306|1) - and 01:20:306 (80306|0,80417|2,80529|3,80529|0,80640|2,80640|1,80751|0,80751|3,80862|2,80862|1,80973|0,80973|3,81084|2,81084|1) - all have the same sounds. Therefore, each instance should have the same amount of notes as each other
There are two sounds at 01:21:751 - and 01:21:862 - that can be mapped. The same applies to 01:22:195 - and 01:22:306 -, 01:22:640 - and 01:22:751 -, etc
Between 01:24:640 - and 01:27:084 - are a lot of ghost notes. I can't hear any supporting sounds for 01:24:751 (84751|0) -, 01:24:973 (84973|3) -, 01:25:195 (85195|1) -, 01:25:862 (85862|1) -, etc
There is a snare at 01:27:640 -
Personally, I'd map the snares at 01:27:973 - and 01:28:084 - instead of using a double LN like 01:27:862 (87862|0,87862|1) -. The snares are much more prominent than the violins, if you ask me
Another opinion of mine is that quads, like 01:28:640 (88640|2,88640|1,88640|0,88640|3) -, look bad. Plus I can't see any justification for them being quads because the sound is about as strong as those which you have used triples for
