- 0:00.461 The Pitch in this section seems to go either ababcb or ababcd. Having a pattern that goes abacbc or abacbd really doesn't mesh well PR wise.
- 0:48.375 This is the start of a new section where you start adding in notes for percussion, but there aren't any notes until 0:50.317 despite the percussion coming in beforehand. Places like 0:49.130 are missing notes.
- 0:49.130 First off the notes here are 32nds. I can understand wanting to underchart them, but for reason's i'll get into later, i dont think thats the right move here. Second, and more importantly, this is a set of 2 bursts, not one continuous burst. There should be a break after 0:50.533 like with how 1:02.404 is charted, which btw is quite different from here despite being the same sound/rhythm.
- 0:53.771 this burst should be a 16th not 24ths.
- 0:54.958 This is why the 24ths dont really work. You cant really start a 24th burst from a 16th. technically you could use 48ths, but at that point you either have a weird polyrhthm with the same # of notes as 32nds, or some other jank solution. There is no right way to solve this. I think the only possibility is to use 32nds, which will beef up the chart quite a bit.
- 0:56.414 an important missing 32nd here.
- 0:57.116 im not quite sure what exactly is going on with the 16th here, but it doesn't seem to go to any sound in the music.
- 0:57.763 missing 16th for percussion.
- 0:57.170, 0:57.601 There are some weird drum 32nds here, and im quite honestly not sure whether its a better idea for them to be left out or put in.
- 0:58.627 another missing note.
- 1:05.425 This burst has missing notes and extra notes. either i dont really understand whats going on, or its just another one of the many many rhythmic errors in the chart. Just go over this entire section again and double check literally everything.
- 1:22.260 This sound has happened a lot in this section but it seems to only sometimes get bursts. 1:21.612 and 1:22.907 should also have this burst if following the same sound.
- 1:36.288 While not the exact same instrument, This part has the same rhythm as sections like 1:42.332, but does not get a minijack like them.
- 1:41.468 This is the first major use of 32nds for a sound in the chart. I'm guessing the use of 32nds for this impossibly fast sound is part of why you chose to use 24ths instead of 32nds for certain sounds. given the request to buff the 24ths to 32nds, i think it would only be natural to buff these sounds to 48ths. Dont think it should be too hard with the right patterning.
- 1:48.087 This burst is notable as its the first (and maybe only) one to have 4 notes, just like the percussion. However, the rhythm is still 32nds and not 24ths.
- 1:56.900 I spent the longest time trying to figure out what this sound was for. There are a lot of different sounds going on and it can be hard to keep track of all of them. With my earlier suggestion to buff the song, and given their inclusion in this section already, im just going to throw out the idea of turning this sound into minijacks. This would make it easier to differentiate the sounds and throw in some more spice >:)
- 2:30.245 This sound comes in quite softly in a fairly calm section. I'd suggest turning this into a roll instead as I feel the difficulty of a trill like this doesn't quite match the feel of the song here. also double check that rhythm. sounds like it doesn't come in until a 16th later.
- 2:30.677 These jumps feel out of place as this sound isn't given a jump anywhere else in the section, such as 2:31.001 or 2:27.735
- 2:31.972 Again double check the rhythm here, cus it seems quite off with a few missing and extra notes.
- 2:36.576 interesting to note how much later this comes in compared to 2:30.245. one comes in much later than the sound. one comes in much earlier.
- 2:38.878 This 24th stream is quite deceptive. While the rhythm is in fact a constant stream of 24ths, some parts of it are accented and this burst doesn'r reflect that. there is a strong aabaabaab pattern. It almost sounds like a 32nd xxx.xxx.xxx rhythm at full speed, but its not. I'd suggest reppaterning it in a to better reflect that. personally i'd try something like 2142142143.
- 3:11.900 is this what i suggested at 1:56.900? though the rhythm seems wrong if so. there is a xx.xx.xx rhythm to it.
- 2:42.449 This looks like the first time this rhythm is properly charted, and color theoried too.
- 3:07.260 missing 16th?
- 3:12.116 This is quite brutal on the right hand here. while there are a lot of minijacks here, this is full on jack territory
- 3:16.648 this is an oddly long anchor on 2 here. something like changing 3:17.512 to [13] seems like easy fix.
- 3:19.454, 3:20.101, 3:20.749 This chart seems to care quite a bit about its pr, But these 3 different notes are all back to back [34]s despite having quite different pitches.
- 3:23.771 shouldn't this be a jump following the melody?
- 3:49.562 maybe change the 16th to jack with the 8th instead of the 4th, i think it would match the song better this way.
- 4:13.842 maybe cut the chart here? It seems like a fine place to end and the rest of the chart just kinda drags on for an entire minute without much interesting or challenging happening outside the 32nd trills, which feel a bit out of place.
- 4:27.008 i really dont understand the 8th trill here. Is it on accident or is there some big reason behind it. Its a theme with the end here and it just feels a bit out of place to me.
- 4:40.821 The use of 32nd trills like this just seems out of place at this point in the song. Its a sounds you've constantly charted as 24ths for the entire chart, but here its suddenly 32nd trills. Its something i would've expected in the middle of the chart, but here in the calm ending using a trill while earlier, in a more intense section you would use 24ths despite the rhythm being 32nds, its especially strange.
There are seriously a lot of errors i found in the chart, especially in the first half that need to be addressed. Again, im not sure the decision to use 24ths in place of 32nds was the right one. That said i found the 2nd half of the chart to be much better, though not without error. I think with another look over the file you could have a good chart here, but as it is right now, i dont think its quite ready.

1:35.425/2:19.886/2:22.907/2:54.418/2:55.065 - Should be single. It’s not that jump sound you’ve been going on previously in its respective section.
2:30.389 - The trill should start here instead of 2:30.245. Could be dicksync’d.
2:30.785 - Should be single. Not part of piano here.
2:31.756 - Should be jump. Piano here.
2:43.627 - Should be hand. See 2:47.080.
2:51.828-2:52.691 - Why is there an anchor here?
3:42.763 - Missing note
3:52.260-3:52.476 - Jumpgluts are ok in this song? If so, consider having it in other places of the file.
4:31.972 - This is [34] but 4:31.540 has a diff sound and is also [34]?
