No Ordinary Love
----------------
- Perms, sync, metadata good.

- 18.121: Missing note.
- 38.371: Higher than the next note, suggest removing 8th minijack.
- 51.121, 59.692, 61.406: Missing notes--I'm guessing these are omitted to make space for other stuff, but leaving them out feels arbitrary and unnecessary imo.
- 62.210: This is technically accurate, but I feel like it's a little awkward and that removing it in favor of the vocals would feel more natural.
- 72.228: Lower than the previous two gallops, suggest distinguishing it (since you effectively have three 14 gallop motions in a row).
- 81.978, 88.835: Missing note.
- 83.263: Missing note, followed at 79.835.
- 91.728-92.585: Feel like this section doesn't have quite enough variation to it--for instance, the three jumps are ascending, yet are all [24]s.
- 93.763, 95.263, etc.: Missing notes. There are a lot of these. I'll stop mentioning them here.
** 147.871-161.585: I really don't like this 14 second gap. There are numerous tasteful ways you could handle this so that it's still very interlude-y, but also actually interesting.
- 166.085: Very solid minijack use.
- 176.15, 177.871, etc.: Would use jumps instead of flams here personally, they're much less audible than (for instance) 171.013.
- 187.299-189.013: These patterns are pretty much perfect imo, awesome job.
- 206.156-end: The layering here is a little cluttered. There are a heck of a lot of jumps, and many of them go to sounds soft enough that it's not clear what they go to in the first place--this usually happens with vocals. See 206.585, the triplet at 207.013, 215.371, etc.

- The poly usage in the ending felt a little busy to me, like they're more than the song calls for, but they are well patterned. Your call, I'd say.
- In general I felt like the patterning in the jumpstream could be a little more attentive to the song. It's not the result of some technical error, more patterns feeling subtly weird due to being too rolly (easy) or trilly (difficult) for the sound. For example, 35.585 starts out rolly, and then forces a trill with the note at 36.013, which goes to a more airy sound--one would expect the sharper sounds to get tougher patterning. The mismatch may also have to do with the vocals being given equal weight as the percussion, sometimes leading to unbroken streams to broken percussion because there's a vocal filling the gap.

- CQ on cleaning up missing notes & patching up that 14 second gap. Would like to see the ending layering made clearer as well, but it's not mandatory. Despite my complaints, this chart definitely has its high points--the minijacks and stream patterning near the ending stood out in particular as feeling great to hit. [6.5/10]

Fixed per judge notes.

A new chart file was uploaded with the following changes:
----------
Note Count changed: 2180 => 2203
AVG NPS changed: 9.56001 => 9.66087
Hand Bias changed: 42 => 45

Still a couple missing notes hanging about, e.g. 95.263 (guitar + vocal), 99.549, 102.121. That said, definitely looking cleaner, you're good to go.
