reduced the rhythm density on all difficulties:
easy: i got rid of some of the more complex sequences.
normal: all triplets on are now passive rhythm.
hard: removed the long streams and made the short 6 circle triplet streams easier to enter by simplifying the rhythms before them.
changed first part to be 1 x repeat 1/4th sliders + 2 x 1/4th sliders for lower pitch, and 4 x 1/4th sliders for the higher pitch
changed second part to be 4 x 1/4th for the lower pitch, and then a stream for the higher pitch since the rhythm is familiar now.
also it felt like this part was harder than the choruses so i increased a good lot of the spacing to match the difficulty a bit better.
i tried some slider stuff but the spinners were the most satisfying for me, since they require a lot of movement which matches the intensity of the build up
