just some further digging or clearing up things on points whose counter reasoning didn't quite convince me yet or missed the/a focus of the point somehow

- 00:19:307 (1) - for the same reason as above you could make this slider into another note triangle just in the changed direction since there are no cymbals on it yet here i am basing the repeated pattern on the guitar, the triangles being groups of falling notes and the slider-circle patterns rising. the choice of the slider-circle pattern was to allow pushing up the spacing of the pattern without spiking difficulty excessively well, what i meant was more on the line of keeping it on the guitar, but making use of the sliders for additional cymbals, hence differentiating single and combined notes.no need to increase the spacing of the additional notes as the differentiate from the decreasing pitch notes already with the direction. so what i meant was more like http://puu.sh/wuG3W/04d8b94584.jpg with the blue combos being what i would change
- 00:38:125 (1) - having a slider cut on the drum here is weird since you just skipped the same kind of drum on the blue before the slider and you don't map the guitar on the blue after it and during the next slider either. mixes up priorities. so those sliders seem to be on drums that are otherwise only accentuated at most but not a focus as quite vividly apparent with 00:40:307 (1) - . so basically it's an inconsistency here the guitar noodling that was the focus of the previous section steps into the background and i focus on the slow lead guitar while using the drums as filler, both of which i find to be more prominent than the other guitar in this section then the issue waters down to how you use the filler and adding a note between 00:37:716 (2,1) - (or repeating 2 or adding a note in front of 2 while delaying 2 itself by a 1/4 tick) could make things more clear
- 00:47:807 (2,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3) - i'm not sure what this does at all tbh, seems like unified spam that ignores any interesting rhythms of which there are plenty going on, especially with the 1/12 drum stuff untill the last beat of the meassure. you'll have to decide whether you want to follow that or the 1/4 guitar i guess. the easier would be ofc to just go with the guitar as the patterning suggests which would mainly require a change in just these 00:48:079 (2,3,4) - i made several attempts at making something more interesting here but they all turned out more confusing than anything else, so i went for a similar pattern to the background guitar eariler combined with kicksliders to cover the entire drumfill. not the most interesting solution but preferable over having a rather minor drum fill stand out due to being confusing. on another note, i can't make out anything 1/12 here eh, what i hear on the drums goes along the lines of http://puu.sh/wuGEQ/bc6502c300.jpg , maybe i'm just imagining things then. and well yeah, it's fine to not use the drum fill, but the way you do use the sliders with the repeater. since it can only be a filler/extended slider on the guitar with that length it comes off asbeing on the drums if you repeat it, even if it's not aligning with them properly. so if you went with something like http://puu.sh/wuGMe/cdef15f171.jpg that kind of confusion could be avoided, it becomes clear that you follow just the guitar as in previous instances
- 01:00:216 (2) - this is really offthrowing since it neither hits the drums in 1/12 and 1/6 but also has the guitar just somewhere int he middle of it. since you go on the guitar with the following pattern you should probably have the first one of them clickable as well instead of having it on some repeat. an approach that can work is just a single in the red 2 starts on now with a 1/8 slider after it, some introducing drum burst into a 1/8 slider on that blue tick (which i don't recommend) or even nothing untill the blue tick again i can't make out any triplet rhythms in this pattern. granted, it is played somewhat sloppily which might make it sound like that, however i think mapping or timing it that way would be rather counterproductive here. well, the main issue isn't really the drums anyway. it's where the guitar starts, currently in the middle of a repeat slider, which is far from intuitive or optimal imo
- 01:32:942 (1,2) - these are not the same, neither drum nor bass guitar. the second one is 1 1/4 plus 2 1/8 hits from what i hear or well, without the 1/8 if you don't go for the drums which you indicate to do with the previous slider and then do otherwise with the one after, which also could use some clarification on a sid enote this is mapped to what i hear from the bass yes, but i think the first repeat then should not be a repeat. i don't hear a note on the repeat at least, which lead me to the possibility that you might be incorporating drums in the first place. if you do hear a note there, screw my ears and ignore this
- 04:46:727 (1) - suggesting to cut it to the yellow (or blue) after the downbeat and putting another slider or notes after it to catch the transition better or at all even not sure about this one since mixing too many different lengths of repeating sliders is generally pretty awkward alternatively you could also just take an approach like http://puu.sh/wuHB1/ec7a4f1f44.jpg . would seperate things properly. also the last the sliders in that picture, i might be wrong again, but that's how i hear them, especially with those gaps, simplification is ofc very viable too though if it is like that.
- 06:35:158 (1,2,3,4) - don't think these call for an accellerating burst like this with the pitch of 2 and 4 being the same given the consistency of this section it would be rather awkward to do something that more accurately reflects the pitch here, besides being generally not too pretty it's a transition in the halfway point of the section, marking the point of repetition, so i don't think it would be outragous to break the pattern of alteration. as for being pretty, there are various ways to pull it off and even something like http://puu.sh/wuIc0/e360f5fc95.jpg or http://puu.sh/wuIhE/bb5013b038.jpg doesn't look too shabby imo
- 07:31:288 (1,2,3) - are these on the drums? if so why do they need to be sliders like these. are they on the foreground guitar? if so they don't appear to have the right length however i look at them as well as there being a mising on before the thirdthe short sliders are to emphasize the staccato guitar, and the additional note you hear is most likely pick noise in that case, even if just for playability, i'd make the sliders double as long since short sliders like this cut the hitwindow and are prone to leading to silly 100s. imo having them 2/12 instead of one still leave them their effect of being seperated while eliminating that issue and it's not like the notes are muted on the next 1/12 tick after their start either
