- Star rating overshot by 0.1, be careful~
- 00:31:005 - End LN at 00:31:795, and add note to 00:31:795 for consistency?
- 00:44:426 / 00:44:584 / 00:44:742 - Maybe add notes to be consistent with the 3 1/2 beats at 00:46:953?
- 00:48:690 - Instrument playing the same thing as 00:47:426 / 00:48:058 and you haven't changed patterns midway through a phrase before, so maybe change this LN to match? (two normal 1/2 notes + a LN starting at 00:49:005 (all column 2))?
- 00:49:479 - Missing note
- 00:53:584 / 00:54:216 - Maybe move these two to different columns since they're different instruments to the middle 3 notes?
- 01:08:900 - Maybe follow guitar (make into LN -> 01:09:847 ?) (optional)
- 01:12:374 - The guitar's actually playing two 3/4 notes whenever the [01:12:058 to 01:12:352 ] rhythm happens, but I'd suggest stretching the LN here to 01:12:690 and deleting 01:12:532 at the very least to match 01:11:111 .
- 01:15:532 / 01:15:847 - Inconsistent with NCP 01:25:637 / 01:25:953 - Maybe add doubles here?
- 01:40:953 - This might be mapping an empty beat from what I'm hearing - maybe change to a normal note, and then maybe move 01:41:268 (101268|1) to column 3 and make it into an LN -> 01:41:742 ? (Check before you do this though since I'm not 100% sure if it's an empty beat or not)
- 01:45:847 to 01:50:584 - Maybe follow the guitar as the primary instrument for this section and use a single note for the drum that happens on beats 1 and 3? (since you've only mapped the drums at 01:45:847 and 01:46:479) - so:
->Delete a note from 01:45:847
->Move 01:46:479 and 01:46:637 down by 1/2 note
->End the LN at 01:46:637
->Start a new LN at 01:46:637 (to 01:46:953 )
->Move the other note from 01:46:637 to column 1 @ 01:46:953 )
->Add note to 01:47:742
->Make 01:47:900 into an LN to the next red line
(The above point is OPTIONAL - since this might be changing the focus of this section entirely and therefore go against your mapping style, so you can ignore if you want to.) - 01:55:479 - End at red line, then add a note to the red line (01:55:795 ) (NCP 01:56:742 )?
- 02:00:532 - Maybe change to LN to the next red line (to match the LN at 02:02:426 )? Same for 02:01:795 ? (Optional but slightly recommended - because this is right after what can be seen as a good spot for a pattern change - but the section ends at 02:03:058 so it might be better to stay consistent with the guitar for the rest of this section?)
- 02:15:374 - Only the first and second notes of the next 4 beats are emphasised (one by drum and one by a cymbal) - (I think you tried to keep consistent with the first half of the bar - but the instruments on the next two notes (02:05:690 / 02:15:847 ) aren't as strong as this one, so you can probably delete a note from them. Corresponding point = same instruments AND rhythm (i.e. a repeat in the music) so make sure to listen to the instruments as well as the rhythm if you're checking if two points are CPs or not).
- 02:23:426 / 02:23:742 - First time you've layered LNs like this - but the instruments playing it is the same, maybe just end the first LN where the second one starts?
- 02:24:532 - This note actually ends at 02:25:163 - so maybe:
->Make this into an LN to 02:24:847 and keep the doubles, or
->Make this into an LN to 02:25:163 and make the three doubles single notes?
(Make sure you test this to see if you like it since (I'm not 100% sure) this might lead to a consistency break, so I'll say that this change is optional.) - 02:35:742 / 02:35:900 - Maybe make into doubles to match 02:34:795 (same instruments)?
- 02:43:005 - Maybe change into LN and delete 02:43:163 to match the rhythm at 02:37:953 ?
- 02:50:584 to 02:52:163 - Seems to be a consistency / mapping break (sudden switch in mapped instruments) - maybe consider changing to keep consistent with guitar mapping? (Optional).
- 02:57:295 / 02:57:453 - Ghost notes, seems like you got a bit carried away with those kinds of streams...
- 02:59:111 / 03:05:426 / 03:07:479 (187479|1)- Change to LN ending at next note - consistency break while following guitar?
- 03:12:690 - Missing note (PCP 03:02:584 )
- 03:27:690 / 03:28:321 - Can probably be emphasised (drum+cymbal)? (instrumental PCP 03:27:058 / NCP 03:28:953).
- 03:30:374 - Can also work as a double LN to 03:31:163 - but this change is optional.

- THIS IS NOT A MODDING POINT: +/-(0/1/2/3) means add/delete note to/from column 0/1/2/3. "Add one / delete one" (i.e. not using numbers) is not column-specific~
- 00:10:795 - NCP 00:15:847 - maybe make both doubles for consistency?
- 00:12:374 - Consistency break (00:16:953 NCP) - Add a note here.
- 00:15:847 - Add one for cymbal~
- 00:16:163 - Needs an extra note for consistency with PCP 00:11:111
- 00:19:400 - Looks like a misplaced note - Move to 00:19:479 red line? (compare with NCP 00:21:926 - nothing mapped)
- 00:19:795 - Maybe move a note up to 00:19:953 (possible incorrect emphasis here)?
- 00:21:611 / 00:21:768 - Ghosts
- 00:21:216 / 00:21:847 - Add note for instrumental consistency with 00:20:584?
- 00:22:005 - Make one note into an LN to the next red line - instrumental consistency with 00:19:479?
- 00:22:795 - Probably doesn't need an extra note here since I don't hear any difference between this and the previous 3 notes (not 100% sure, check before doing this~)
- 00:24:690 - Can probably be emphasised a bit more (insane difficulty / huge burst in music) - Add at least one?
- 00:26:584 / 00:26:900 - Both might work well as a double (try +3 for both)? (Same for NCP 00:29:111 / 00:29:426 - try +1 for both, then moving 00:29:584 to column 3 may help with following pitch / awkwardness reduction)
- 00:27:216 - Can probably add a note here for emphasis (start of section / consistency with every other time you've swapped columns for this instrument rhythm, try +1).
- 00:30:058 - Try adding one - same strength as 00:30:690.
- 00:30:295 - Missing note, add one.
- 00:30:847 - Delete one (no drum)
- 00:32:268 - Huge music burst, probably same as 00:24:690 - Add one?
- 00:32:821 - I think there's a missing note here?
- 00:33:216 - Add one (instrumental consistency with 00:33:847)?
- 00:33:295 / 00:33:453 / possibly 00:34:005 - Ghosts
- 00:34:321 - Move one up to 00:34:479 - incorrect emphasis
- 00:34:795 - Maybe a triple would work here (music burst). Also the only position where the guitar isn't mapped - make column 1 into an LN -> 00:35:268, and move 00:35:268 (35268|1) to column 3 to keep the stream?
- 00:35:584 to 00:36:216 - copy rhythm of 00:36:847 to 00:37:479? -:
-> End both LNs at 00:36:216, delete a note (try -1) from 00:36:216 - 00:35:584 to 00:36:216 - Maybe ending your longer LNs at 00:35:900 / 00:37:163 / 00:38:426 - might follow the music better?
- 00;40:795 - Add one for consistency with 00:42:058?
- 00:39:690 - Delete one for consistency since you're not using triples for cymbal?
- 00:44:426 to - 00:44:900 - Copy the rhythm of 00:46:953 to 00:47:426 (NCP)?
- 00:48:058 / 00:48:690 - Delete one for consistency
- 00:50:900 to 00:51:216 - Inconsistent with PCP [00:49:637 to 00:49:953] (not sure what the 00:50:900 LN is following at all).
- 00:51:216 - Add an LN to PCP 00:49:953 too for consistency.
- 00:53:742 - Maybe add an LN -> 00:54:216 for guitar?
- 00:53:742 / 00:54:058 - Add a note (same sound as 00:53:900)?
- 00:54:216 - Delete one (music isn't as strong here).
- 00:54:374 - Looks like a ghost note?
- 00:54:768 / 00:54:926 - Ghost notes
- 00:55:005 - Maybe add note for cymbal? (Optional since there's no note for drum).
- 00:56:584 / 00:57:216 / 00:57:847 - Missing notes? (Because the music phrase starts at 00:55:005 and you're using two notes for that instrument)
- 01:01:163 - Maybe a single note on column 2 would be more consistent (PCP 01:02:426)?
- 01:01:321 to 01:01:953 inclusive - +2 on every white line for consistency with 01:00:058?
- 01:02:584 - End both LNs at 01:02:900?
- 01:02:900 - Maybe delete the single note (so just have the LN there (mainly for instrumental accuracy I guess). Also,extending the LN to 01:03:216 might follow the instrument better.
- 01:03:058 / 01:03:137 - Missing notes (This section is a 1/4 stream, just map it out (with the extended 01:02:900 LN) since this is hardest difficulty anyway)
- 01:03:690 - Missing at least one note since the music strength doesn't really change here. 01:04:321 also maybe missing a note for cymbal?
- 01:05:111 to 01:13:953 and NCP 02:25:953 to 02:34:795
->01:05:742 to 01:06:374 and everywhere else in these two sections where this guitar rhythm occurs - This is a 3/4 - 3/4 - 1/2 rhythm, so maybe use your LNs to follow the guitar?
->01:07:953 / 01:08:584 / 02:28:795 / 02:29:426 - Probably a double would work well here (emphasis on drum).
->01:08:505 / 01:08:821 / 02:29:347 / 02:29:663 - Ghosts~
->01:10:795 - Random triple which doesn't happen anywhere else in the two sections - delete one.
->01:13:400 - Missing note (finish the stream - NCP 02:34:242)
->01:13:953 / 01:14:426 / 02:34:795 / 02:35:268 / 02:35:742 / 02:35:900 - Add one (consistency / emphasis).
->02:30:690 - Add one for cymbal? (PCP 01:09:847) - 01:15:453 - Ghost~
- 01:16:163 / 02:37:005 - Maybe end the LN here at the next LN - that way you have space to make 01:16:479 and 02:37:321 a triple (music burst / start of kiai). Also, 01:16:163 needs a note added (consistency)
- First and second kiai - Need to go through this again, listen to the music and keep everything consistent - for example:
->Your cymbals are a bit inconsistent (01:20:111 vs 01:20:742 vs 01:29:111 vs 01:30:216 as an example). Since this is kiai, maybe use triples whenever you hear a cymbal for emphasis?
->Another example is 01:25:637 vs 01:25:953 (random addition of a note but same instruments).
->A few LNs seem to be too early or shouldn't be there (e.g. 01:23:584 would be better as a normal note since there's no guitar there yet).
->Keep in mind that the second half of the kiai (from 01:26:584 / 02:47:426) also needs to be consistent with your layering for the first half of kiai).
->Also keep in mind releasing an LN isn't the same as pressing a note, so for example on a timepoint with the end of an LN and a huge cymbal sound you still need to use 3 notes.
->Also, check the blue lines for ghost notes, there seem to be some at the end (as an example). - 01:41:268 - Delete one, since you're using two for cymbals now (try -1)
- 01:46:637 - Maybe make column 3 into an LN -> 01:46:953 (instrumental consistency with 01:45:374)?
- 01:47:900 - Also one note into an LN -> 01:48:216 (instrumental consistency)?
- 01:48:295 - Ghost note and 01:48:453 missing note (misplaced stream).
- 01:48:611 - Ghost note~
- 01:49:163 - Delete a normal note (doubles for cymbals) for consistency (maybe -1), and extend the LN to 01:49:479 to follow guitar?
- 01:49:321 - Ghost notes (-1, -2)
- 01:49:479 / 01:49:637 - Maybe use normal notes instead of LNs - might follow music better?
- 01:49:795 - End the LN at 01:50:426 (following guitar)
- 01:50:584 - Ghost position and late LN (-1, move LN to 01:50:426 without changing its length).
- 01:51:058 - Possible missing note? (not 100% sure about this)
- 01:51:216 to 01:51:532 - Delete one from each (overlayering - it sounds the same as the drum from 01:50:111 and 01:50:268 but instead of single-single-double you've used double-double-triple but there aren't any really prominent sounds in music)?
- 01:54:216 - Make note into an LN to 01:54:532, then +0 to follow guitar and consistency, then move 01:54:690 (114690|2) -> 3 for less pattern awkwardness, and make 01:54:847 (114847|0) - into an LN -> 01:55:321 (again to follow guitar)?
- 01:55:242 / 01:55:400 - Missing notes - maybe use a trill pattern in right hand? (one suggestion:
) - 01:56:742 / 01:58:005 / 01:59:268 / 01:59:900 - Maybe add a note for cymbal?
- 02:00:532 - Make column 3 into an LN -> 02:00:847 (following guitar)?
- 02:03:058 - Column 3 into LN -> 02:03:374 (guitar)?
- 02:03:216 / 02:03:295 - Ghost positions - delete everything.
- 02:08:426 - PCP 02:05:900 (the instrument you're mapping isn't playing here, consider deleting)?
- 02:13:795 - Missing note and 02:14:032 ghost note (misplaced stream).
- 02:14:268 - Seems to be a ghost note?
- 02:14:426 - Move to column 1
- 02:19:005 to 02:25:163 - Check consistency with PCP (00:58:163 to 01:05:111). One of the notes in the first half (LN section) feels incorrectly layered and you need to add a note to 02:20:900. The second half (02:21:690 to 02:25:163) also feels drastically different, so check that with PCP [01:00:058 to 01:04:321).
- 02:36:058 - Delete one (very faint sound).
- 02:57:532 - Delete one (inconsistent with end of previous kiai)
- 03:04:953 - Add one (inconsistency with cymbal)
- 02:57:532 to END - Seems like a lot of inconsistent triples, but this looks deliberate since this is technically the ending of the song.
- 03:18:374 to 03:18:847 - No stream in the music here (tempting to add one I know) - instead maybe continue with your 1/2 double note pattern?
And that's sort of everything I can see... I'm REALLY sorry about how long this turned out to be...
