The Numbers (Storn42) [9/10] -FR-

PERMS OK
SYNC OK

0.233-15.661 [FR]: That's way too long of an intro void. Either cut it or add white notes or Something to it.

2:43.489: Hand?

2:53.895: Pretty minor detail but here the right hand is a bit busy, could maybe be balanced better.

3:54.199: Lol nice meme.

4:26.947: Seems to be the only iteration where this 8th hand has a minijack.

Very solid marathon chart for mid difficulties. Super intuitive layering for the most part and interesting rhythms to keep this relatively long chart entertaining throughout. Not much to critique aside from that intro nothingness which is honestly not necessary for a song that's already this long and varied. Very rare 9 FR from me.

- fine i'll cut it. I hope 15 seconds of negative offset doesn't break anything.

2:43.489: Hand?
- I dont hear any difference in sound that would warrant a hand here, and i would rather punctuate 2:43.732 with the hand

2:53.895: Pretty minor detail but here the right hand is a bit busy, could maybe be balanced better.
- i'd argue the left hand is the one worse off in this situation. and we're coming off a left heavy section so some more bias towards right is fine.

3:54.199: Lol nice meme.
- four letter four notes

4:26.947: Seems to be the only iteration where this 8th hand has a minijack.
- turns out i already spotted and removed it lol.

54.849-55.382 - Diff guitar pitch, but it’s still [12] like 54.008-54.709?
- it is a different pitch, but minijack helps better reinforce the idea of the guitar rhythm here vs the constant snare.

1:00.699 - Missing jump
- fixed

1:01.339 - Maybe single? Snare here is quiet compared to the other snares of 1:00.973-1:01.247
- technically correct, but i think its better to have the constant [12] jumps than some weird [12]2[12]1 pattern on the left hand.

1:11.826 - Maybe single? Snare here is quiet. Compare 1:23.605
- fixed

*1:32.480-1:33.765 - Why is the layering backwards here? Hand = jump, jump = hand. Compare 1:26.559-1:30.999
- because the 12ths are accented here instead of the 4ths.

2:02.614 - Why no hand?
- i want to go lighter on the layering in this next section and in this section i use jumps for cymbals.

2:32.384 - Maybe single? Snare here is quiet
- fixed

2:43.732 - Why is this hand, but 2:43.489 isn’t?
- 2:43.732 punctuates the entire phrase, so in my mind its better to have this be the only hand.

3:46.937/3:47.893/3:53.052 - Why hand?
- group vocals.

3:54.199 - Why quad?
- FUCK

3:59.167 - Why hand?
- group vocals.

4:00.887-4:01.651 - Vocals aren’t exactly on beat for this spot. Perhaps some jump approximations can be done here
- the issue is we already have constant 16ths, and i feel deviating too much would create this horrible to play patterning that i dont want for this chart.

4:01.460/4:04.899 - Why hand?
- 1) cymbal 2) literally look at the next section and all of the hands in it.

4:17.007-4:21.856 - This is higher pitch than 4:16.607-4:16.740
- Its not about the PR here but the patterning.

4:33.154-4:33.671 - Why hand?
- accented notes and snare+cymbal

4:50.787-4:50.918 - Diff pitch than 4:50.261-4:50.655
- first is still a snare hit, but either the drummer hit a different part of the snare, or hit another drum at the same time. the second isn't a snare hit but i'm still keeping the jumptrill because it plays nice.
