- 00:09.211, 00:12.740 Move this away from 4. The note is currently a part of the anchor and with it not being the same pitch, makes the anchor feel really bad. You made sure to avoid it at the start, so doing it now is basically lying to the player.
00:29.615 I dont think this pattern is doing a good job of representing the actual rhythm here. For starters 00:29.781 and 00:30.001 are ghost notes. And it sounds like there are 4 notes between 00:29.836 and 00:29.946. you could try charting it more accurately, but i think even just two 3 note bursts would do a better job than whats currently there.
00:36.674 once again, we run into the 32nd issue. Though this time, you didn't chart the first half. This one would probably work as a full 32nd stream due to the 32nd synth here, similar to the 24th one at 00:22.556
I believe there should be added notes at 00:38.218 00:38.329 for piano layering. weird that you seem to have 00:38.439 as a jump, but ignore the two previous notes. might be better to leave this as a single.
00:43.733 same as before, but this time bursts are more encouraged with the sax instrument that come in.
00:56.306 This minijack should be on 00:56.417. I get if you dont want that 22122 pattern, but i think it would be better to reduce the layering of the grace to move it to a different key than having this minijack happen on a rest.
00:57.079 missing piano 16th
01:08.218 i find it weird this note jacks with 01:08.549 while being a diferent pitch, but doesn't jack with 01:08.439 which is the same pitch.
01:11.968 oh hey, a 32nd roll that is accurate!
** 01:17.262 and because we cant have nice things i'm here to critisize your roll usage. It doesn't make sense to me to have these rolls placed here when you're largely ignoring the cymbal. 32nds are ignored at 01:15.167, but are chated at 01:19.248. you ignore the 16ths at 01:19.909 and 32nds at 01:22.226, but chart the roll at 01:24.321. You gotta either commit to following it, or ignoring it. It doesn't make sense to only follow it some of the times.
01:37.777 what are these jumps for? 01:36.674 makes sense with the left side piano, but the notes at 01:37.777 play a different rhythm.
01:40.479 i get why, but not charting the 32nd here is still an odd choice despite layering the instrument.
01:45.056 suprised this isn't a 32nd roll considering earlier sectoins, especially 01:45.498.
01:49.799 pretty sure there is a soft low piano note here you missed.
01:52.556 these 24th synths sound closer to 32nds to me. probably the same with earlier ones too.
01:53.990 pretty sure this grace is supposed to be at 01:54.101, i definitely hear a note on the 16th, but the grace is on the 8th and not charted.
01:57.520 this grace on the other hand does sound accurate
01:59.615 see earlier complaints.
02:00.939 not a huge fan of the little oht here. considering the piano isn't playing a note here i feel not trilling this would feel better.
02:06.950 I dont here the 32nd here. to my ears its starts on the 16th.
02:07.446, 02:10.976 once again, please move the 16th
Overall this is a good chart, but needs a bit of polish. My main issue with the chart atm is the consistency of 01:14.174 I would like to see this section revisisted with a more consistent layering scheme.

3.421: Continuing the column 2 anchor with this burst is a bold decision. You don't do this at 6.895 and the piano clearly doesn't play that note again, so I'd advise against this.
7.667-8.219: Weird PR. Why not something like this? https://i.imgur.com/9ByNo7t.png
9.322, 10.204: I'd expect these to be places you force an OHT, not 9.763.
22.557, 98.660, etc.: This is technically 32nds. I'm down with approximating to 24ths, at least at the start, but it might be more interesting to switch to 32nds at the 8th (where the sound gets substantially louder) and perhaps end on a jump instead. Compare 36.895.
24.101: Hi-hat is not part of your layering scheme, please remove.
27.410: Not part of the column 3 anchor.
* 29.616: This is pretty inaccurate. There's a 16th at 29.726 and a burst from 29.836-29.947, but I don't believe any of the other 32nds are there at all.
30.608, 41.197: Should be on the beat just before? Seems like you follow kicks, but not this tiny little sound.
38.329: Why minijack?
43.733, 119.616: I get this even less than 29.616. Are you dumping the cymbal...?
46.711: Only sax, shouldn't be jump if the stuff before is singles. If you're doing minijack stuff, it should start on the beat. (Same sound is done very differently at 53.880.)
58.292-61.160ish: PR feels very weird here too. There's way less back-and-forth than all these split patterns would imply.
60.829: Minijack? Also 67.888.
69.763: Move off column 3. Not a trill.
75.719: This works, but I feel like the 32nd triplet trill from e.g. 17.483 is more interesting and appropriate here, potentially with the extra 32nd from percussion thrown in to highlight that it exists too (like a 2324[13] pattern). Also, inconsistent with 82.778.
78.697, 82.226: Wait, why aren't you following these 32nds if you have them at 77.263, 79.248, and so on?
93.366, 100.425: It'd be a little spicy, but I think you could include that triplet again here. Perhaps something like this: https://i.imgur.com/ZUzhm8W.png
95.130: Why minijack? Is this supposed to be a 16th later?
96.123: Flam?
107.483: No longer following this triplet?
Interesting file. I like the 3/16th anchor usage and find that the jump structure works pretty well, but I also feel like the file is not that great at following its own rules. Could use pretty substantial consistency & PR checks. Not very far from acceptance, but does need a pretty heavy round of polishing imo. [6.5/10]
