Pre-playtest, expecting something like hi19’s somewhat famous Destiny SM/Etterna file
(Playtest Impression, 0.9x Rate) This is mean. A pretty unbalanced difficulty curve – massive spikes.

0.759, 7.200 - jump, vocal Hey!
9.041 - not jump, no kick
11.894 - (subjective, can ignore) imo better transition to remove this note
12.078 - why is this a split roll when other instances (eg. 17.875, 23.949 to an extent, 29.838 etc.) are jumptrillable/roll-y?
13.458, 15.667 - why jump?
27.722 - by omitting this note you set up an expectation that you’ll more strictly follow the drum here. I think it’s a good choice but will require removing 27.354, 28.458, 29.194, 29.562. Or (more likely) you missed adding 27.722 and can adjust patterns for piano PR

44.470, 50.360 - personally think these would be better as jumps, like 47.415. Recommend picking one for all 3 instances for consistency.
—--OR- Given how the ending is done (starting ~1:54.501), just change 47.415 to a hand
Make sure whichever choice you go with here is replicated in that later section (1:54.501) for consistency. Second choice is the easiest, even if I’m more of a fan of the first.

53.765 - 59.654 - slightly disappointed this unique-ish drum pattern isn’t captured here at all but fine as is
57.354 - minijack is 16th early - start on 4th
59.654-1:04.072 - can’t really figure out the layering choices here. If following the synth here, only the first jump on a 16th (59.746) is accurate, it then hits on 8ths (except a triplet starting 1:01.311). Following the kick, there are some missing jumps, eg. 1:01.403. Recommend picking one of these elements and ensure layering consistency with it.
1:03.980 - similar scenario as 27.722, replicate what you choose for that here.
1:04.992 - not jump, 16th after is jump
1:10.697-1:11.065 - recommend the two minijacks here be on different arrows as they’re different pitches
1:13.642-1:14.010 - ^
1:41.618 - jump?
1:44.562 - ^
1:56.342 - ^

The song is just slow enough that 32nds aren’t quite jumptrillable, or at least jumptrilling is very risky/tricky to pull off. They need to be played as rolls. This contributed to my playtest perception of the difficulty – this is one of those weird cases where uprating a file would actually make it easier. The file does a pretty good job of making 32nd parts roll-y (except 12.078), even if some of them aren’t exactly intuitive patterns. But, on a detailed look through, it’s somewhat well balanced overall.

However, this needs lots of clean-up, too much to justify an FR flag. This can get there if you want to put in the work on it.
