think we do have permissions for Lime : https://www.flashflashrevolution.com/vbz/showpost.php?p=4477435&postcount=104, especially for BMS stuff.

I guess FFR wouldn't mind chord-anchored file at this caliber :woozy_face:

- The sim folder name isn't as expected: "Lime - Stargazer (Mipha)" vs "Stargazer (Mipha)"

- Permissions, metadata good.

** Sync isn't right, but the issue is a bit bizarre because the melody and the percussion seem slightly offset from each other in the song. Changes should be as follows:
- initial sync is significantly early, so offset should be changed -0.086 -> -0.119
- at 24.260, the percussion comes in off sync from the melody, but the melody is still on sync, which is weird, but doesn't really need adjustments since you're following melody mostly. At 30.467, it desyncs completely; that beat should be moved to 30.449, then it resumes at 87bpm.
- the beat at 80.794 should be moved to 80.811, then resume at 87bpm
- the beat at 98.742 should be moved to 98.724, then resume at 87bpm
Timestamps are given assuming these changes.

- 47.001: This sound is significantly less striking than the quad immediately before, suggest hand.
* 88.570, 88.915, etc.: I strongly disagree with these being jumps. I can hear why they are if I reaaally focus on it, and they do pick up a little in intensity later, but I can say that I was very confused what was going on when I first played this.
- 101.501-end: You use jumps as the minimum denomination in these chordjacks, which is fine, but there are some sounds which are noticeably softer than others and this isn't really acknowledged by the chart. Suggest using patterns that don't force jacks in these instances (e.g. [14][23]) both to acknowledge the sounds are softer and to mitigate difficulty spikes since this section is quite a bit denser than anything else in the chart.
- 124.259, 146.328: Why are these quads?
- 144.777: Should only be jump.

- The song definitely lends itself to a chordjack chart, and your layering scheme is alright. Suggest double checking the middle section (47.001-80.104) for consistency regarding additive layering; you sometimes use jumps for melody + kick and sometimes hands and it's not always clear why. Sync needs a fix before this can be accepted, and I'd really like to see the 88.570 note addressed, but it's otherwise alright. [7/10 CQ]

Stargazer (6.0/10)

Permission - good
Metadata - good

***Offset is wrong and should be set to 0.119, all timestamps will be according to this offset.

2.878 I understand the triplet pattern, but the PR on both the 16th's and the 8th notes is constantly descending. Instead of this triplet pattern something like this would be more accurate:
https://imgur.com/a/EXRXXMm

-5.637 PR on these 4th jumps feels a bit off, 7.016 is lower pitched than 5.637, but this doesn't reflect in your patterning. This + the note at 2.878 make it so the music doesn't feel represented well in this section.
-9.430 is higher pitched than 8.395.
-11.858: It's not entirely clear to me what this white note is representing here.
-15.981: Missing jump
-22.892: See 11.858
-24.947: This is way more intense than the 16th that follows, I would like to see this intensity represented better, especially since the 2 jumps are on the same column

***Beat changes at 30.464 and needs to be at 30.449 all timestamps will follow this. (bpm stays the same)

**35.277: Don't think I entirely agree with these claps being layered in as hands. You have way less room for PR this way and it feels kinda arbitrary

-35.449: The bass has a higher pitch here than at 35.966 I think putting the jump all the way to the left is kinda unnecessary, you can make it a [23] and it would still leave room for PR on 35.966. Which brings me to my next point

*35.966: I think this being a quad is just blatant overlayering. If you turn the claps into jumps and these crashes into 3-note hands, you have way more room for PR and I think with a melodious song like this PR is very important.
-37.690: While technically not entirely wrong I would highly prefer to see this jump moved to [13] for PR, this [12] suggests some kind of repetition which isn't there. You also have no room for PR at 38.035 because of the hands. I just don't think it represents the music well. There is no repetition here.
-46.311: This being a quad and the next 4th being a quad is again a product of the overlayering, you have no room to differentiate the two sounds even though they're pretty different.
-48.035: Here you start layering in the melody as jumps, which is fine. But it becomes really convoluted when everything is stepped as jumps. When I played through it I wasn't entirely sure what the jumps were representing any more. On top of PR already being questionable the note placement feels a bit random at times.
-49.414: This [14] is higher in pitch than 48.035 yet it's the same jump. In a slow song like this I would like to see PR followed better. -49.070 is also higher pitched so PR again isn't represented very well throughout this section.
-51.311: missing jump to the melody

Also notes like 57.863 and 58.035 suggest some kind of repetition, you do this alot where the jump and the 2 notes of the hand are on the same column when that's not really what the music does. It would be more accurate to have the hand at 58.035 be a [134]

*65.277: This jack seems odd, all the jacks from 61.828 to 64.587 seem to follow the melody somewhat, but at 65.277 there is no melody yet the structure stays the same.
-66.311: Here you start layering the kicks with the melody as hands, which is good honestly, but it's not very consistent because if I would follow your layering consistently melody + clap would be a quad.
-80.104: Here you just follow the melody as singles, but you are no longer layering the pads in as jumps anymore. PR is better here tho.

***80.794: Beat shifts again and should be moved to 80.811, all future timestamps will follow this

***98.741: Happens again and should be moved to 98.724

this point onward the layering seems arbitrarily dense, I like the idea of having more chord-jack oriented charts in FFR, but this song just doesn't really warrant such patterning imo.

More important notes are indicated with *'s

Final thoughts: I think alot of the 'faults' with this file are conscious choices with a goal to make a chordjack file. I can see why PR isn't always followed and it's mainly to do with the layering choices you made. I would like to see a more toned down version of this file, because I think the song is really cool. However, as is I cannot accept this simply because the file isn't synced properly and there are so many layering inconsistencies and PR issues.

Thanks for the notes! I'll be sure to address these and upload the revision to the next batch.
