Oh hey M4M from IRC. Thanks for modding my map earlier!

Hope this helps. Best of luck
Lemons‘ Easy
- 00:47:488 (3) – It sounds like this slider is a little too long; both the piano and vocals are half a beat earlier, so I’d shorten this into a 3/2 slider
- 00:49:738 (2,3) – If I’m remembering things correctly, having half beat follow ups like this in an Easy is a big no-no
- 00:51:988 (1,2) – ^ basically that; you’re going to want to fix all half beat follow ups that show up after this as well
- 01:03:238 (3) – I think curving this in the other direction will help with flow
- 01:03:988 (4) – This isn’t blanketing 01:03:238 (3) properly, but fixing that would probably make this slider out of bounds or something. So instead I recommend moving this slider and having it blanket 01:04:738 (5) instead. Note that you’re going to have to move the (5) as well if that wasn’t already clear lolSPOILERjust one example of many you can come up with but yeah
- 01:07:363 (3) – This could be made to blanket 01:06:988 (2) more nicely
- 01:13:738 (2) – Curve the other way maybe? What you have is also fine so doesn’t really matter
- 01:48:988 – I wouldn’t ignore this beat here; it’s pretty well emphasized because of the cymbals. Maybe place a circle here with a finish hitsound?
- 02:27:613 – Beat here is also pretty strong. Circle??
- 02:33:988 (1) – Maybe curve it in the other direction so it flows into the (2) more nicely
- 03:00:238 (4,5) – Similar to the half beat thing that I don’t think is really accepted in Easy difficulties, stacking is also apparently a big no-no
- 00:46:550 – You’re following the piano during this section but you skip the piano note here? Maybe make 00:46:363 (2) a 1/2 slider or something to fix that-
- 00:47:300 (4,5) – This 3/2 slider and circle works, but I think the piano note at 00:47:675 would be better off as a slider tail instead of a tick. Therefore, maybe try using a 1/1 slider and 1/2 slider combo instead?
- 01:28:738 (2) – This blanket could be made a little nicer
- 01:45:238 (4) – Rotate this by 180 degrees from its selection centre maybe? The slider tail here is pretty close to 01:44:113 (3), so beginners might accidentally click on that instead and break combo
- 02:04:738 (3) – I’d make this repeat one more time, since you switched to following the vocals for this combo
- 02:27:894 (1) – Just move this spinner to start on the downbeat? Also, make this spinner end on the offbeat at 02:30:050 instead, since that beat is more pronounced
- 03:03:894 (1) – Similar to the above; move it so that it starts on the downbeat a half beat after the last circle. Make sure that the spinner still ends at 03:06:988
- 00:33:800 (3,1) – Just my personal opinion, but since the slider heads are stacked here, I didn’t see this circle 1/2 slider combination, so I’d move 00:33:988 (1) so it’s easier to read
- 00:38:300 (1) – I think the slider tail on this blanket is just a little too curved
- 00:41:863 – I know you’re following the piano here, but there’s a pretty strong beat here that you skipped over I think you shouldn’t ignore; add a circle?
- 00:42:988 – ^
- 00:50:863 – ^
- 00:56:113 – Okay yeah this 4th beat is somewhat important because there’s a faint kick here that you skipped; I think you should either add a circle here or make 00:55:925 (3) a 1/2 slider
- 00:57:613, and 00:59:113, and 01:02:113 – ^
- 01:11:300 – This offbeat is pretty strong, it’d be weird to ignore it. Add a circle here maybe?
- 01:14:863 (3) – This blanket could be nicer
- 01:42:238 (2) – I don’t think you should make this a repeat slider; downbeat is pretty strong, so having something clickable there would be better, I think
- 01:59:113 (4) – ^
- 02:05:863 – Fairly noticeable kick on this beat; maybe make 02:05:488 (1) a 1/1 slider?
- 02:08:863 – This one is really noticeable, so I don’t think you should skip beat
- 02:11:113 – ^
- 02:20:113 and 02:23:113 – Similar suggestion I gave to you at 00:56:113 applies here as well
- 02:29:300 – This offbeat is pretty strong; add a circle here?
- 02:34:738 (1) – Similar suggestion I gave to you at 01:42:238 applies here as well
- 02:40:738 (1) – Blanket here could be made better I think
- 02:41:863 (3,1,2) – The overlapping here is pretty bad in my opinion; it might be confusing for some
- 02:43:738 (1) – Yeah don’t have the repeat slider end on the downbeat
- 03:00:238 (2) – ^
- 03:01:363 – I think adding a circle here would be beneficial, since you skipped over a pretty emphasized beat here
- 00:28:363 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1) – I’m not sure if having these as 1/4 sliders is a good choice; it feels a little late. Maybe 1/8 sliders would fit better, or maybe just having circles, but 1/4 sliders definitely feels too long in my opinion
- 00:42:988 – This beat is pretty strong; I wouldn’t skip over it
- 00:53:300 (2) – So the previous slider at 00:50:300 (2) matches up with the heaviest vocal note, but this one doesn’t?? In my opinion you should move this to 00:53:488 and shorten it to a 3/2 slider to match the heaviest vocal note like you did at 00:50:300 (2). Totally up to you whether or not you take this suggestion, but it just feels weird in my opinion that you skipped over the strongest vocal note hereSPOILERsomething like this maybe?
- 00:56:113 – Similarly to the suggestion I made to FCL, there’s a faint kick here you skipped over. Maybe make 00:55:925 (4) a 1/2 slider?
- 00:59:113 – ^
- 01:02:113 – Similar to the faint kick thing, but this time maybe add a circle here instead or something?
- 01:05:488 (6) – I think starting the new combo here instead of at 01:05:675 (1) would make more sense since that’s where the new phrase starts
- 01:11:113 – Similar suggestion I gave at 01:02:113 also works here
- 01:36:988 (1) – I’d make this a 1/2 slider instead of a 3/4 slider; you skipped a pretty strong beat on the red tick because of the 3/4 slider
- 01:48:988 – I’d add a circle here with a finish hitsound because the cymbals are highlighting this beat
- I don’t think the manual break at 01:49:363 is really necessary; just have it break at 01:48:988
- 02:02:113 – You’re following the piano here, if I’m hearing things correctly, but you skipped this piano note. I recommend not doing that lol just place a circle here or something
- 02:02:863 – ^
- 02:14:113 and 02:17:113 – Yeah similar to what I mentioned at 00:56:113
- 02:24:050 – Uhh I think you missed a 1/4 slider here?? Feels like one could go here
- 02:24:238 (1,2) – These don’t feel right as 1/4 sliders to me; there’s not really a strong beat on either of the blue ticks, so maybe just make them both into 1/2 sliders?
- 02:27:800 – Pretty strong offbeat here you skipped over. Do something about it, maybe?
- 02:28:363 – And there’s also a pretty strong beat here that you skipped over
- 02:54:988 (1) – Similar suggestion to 01:36:988 (1)
- 02:57:988 (1) – ^
- 03:06:988 – You could potentially add a circle here to end the song on a downbeat, although what you have works just as fine
Hope this helps. Best of luck
