For a file like this with not much layering as it's just easy piano, a big focus should be on PR. It's followed for the most part in the first half but I'm drawn to spots where there's singles into a jump or a single coming out of a jump (single being either same note as adjacent chord or different, but not reflected with used column). Just going to list a couple examples of that to look out for:

- 27.608
- 31.037 - 32.750: The (3) at 31.608 I could see as while it's much fainter it does sound to be the same as the (23) before it, but the (1) at 32.750 is different from previous (12)
- 35.607 - 36.751: Listening to this, there's the higher pitch doing a descending line of 3 notes, and where the jumps start there's a lower pitch that repeats in both jumps. Because of that difference in pitch between the added note for those two jumps and the initial single, a pattern like (4)(13)(12) would be a better fit here instead of current patterning forcing a repetition on (4) that isn't happening in the song
- 39.907: Not same pitch as 40.181
- 59.608: (124) better represents chord here because the pitches differing from the same (34) portion at 58.452

- 59.608: Right here the layering starts getting pretty heavy for what's going on in the song. Looking at it by itself I can understand the difference between your jumps and hands with the addition of the string changes, but the jumps really shouldn't be jumps in this place as the only really noticeable chords here like you were layering before are the ones happening where you put hands so your jump/hand usage overall feels too much. The extra layering here also leads to more of the previous issue of PR, like the repeated (4) from 63.037 - 64.180, or repeated (4) from single to hand at 65.897 when the pitch decreases to that chord. Problem also worsens at 77.896 when the 8ths to the high synth start as the jumps and hands together mixed with those 8ths forces a lot of repeated notes that don't really match the pitches in the song or are quite uncomfortable for players that this file is catered to.

- 99.340: Same as 39.907

*Overall a very good base, but the issues with PR need bit more work to remove some of those unnecessary repetitions of notes, along with 59.608 - 96.178 being way too heavy with the layering than what's really warranted. Section at 59.608 being just singles and jumps to chords and the section at 77.896 being singles for the 8ths with jumps where there's piano would not only fix the wrong repeated columns when looking at PR but smooth out the overall difficulty of the file so it better fits the lower-level players who it's focused on being for.
