Some jumps and barely audible singles are omited to prevent super long jumptrill chains.

In the first part the jumps go to the melody. In the intro I show the player where the jumps go to and then later on I quarter the bpm to introduce another melody. Then I put it to 180 BPM again and use white notes to emphasise the synth.

In the later half of the song the drums and kicks become way more pronounced so the jumps go to the kicks and drums. (With some being omited to prevent insane spikes)

The 24th's are obviously a difficulty spike, but I left out jumps and the patterns repeat to make it easier.(the sounds also repeat there)

In the final part of the song the 24th's and 48th's go to the chirping sound while the white notes go to the melody.

Moved some of the white notes to better reflect the swoosh sound near the end. Also turned the 180bpm triple jumpjack into a double, because it felt a bit dickish.

A new chart file was uploaded with the following changes:
----------

Some patterns didn't convert well, so I adjusted them slightly.

-[00:26.363] Missing 16th

-[00:31.696] Missing 16th (see 00:39.446 for similar rhythmic pattern).

-[00:35.530] Ghost 16th (based on the level of layering with instruments that’s being done for this 16th section). Same goes for a following 16th after the jump at 00:36.196.

-[00:40.196] Similar ghost 16th to the same note above. There’s a lot of instances where this 16th was omitted earlier in the chart that would also need to be filled in as well if you want to include these 16ths (example being like the one at 00:25.530, 00:30.863, or 00:31.696). I get that it's being done to prevent long trill chains. But at the same time, a lot of swapping hands or trill columns usually does the trick with what has been displayed here.

-[00:58.113] Feel like PR could be handled a bit better here. It’s 100% about the direction of the 1234 in the middle of the staircase. Could probably get away with just mirroring the entire thing.

-[01:07.696 & 01:07.863] 100% speed, and this section has a much different tone on how it wants to play out vs what was shown earlier in the song. Happens again multiple times in this section, like at 01:10.863, 01:27.030, and 01:56.696. Might just be a simple fix, or an overhaul, depends on how you would prefer to tackle it. Needs a general cleanup.

-[01:35.780] Could possibly use some distinction between the two jumps here, as they both hit at different pitches.

-[01:40.363] Personal preference. I like what you did with this section. I probably would have put a [34][12]3[24] going into that 8th jump, to take advantage of that drum hook that’s following into the 8th there. Happens again at 01:46.030.

-[02:10.780] People are going to hate you for this 24th roll at this speed. Super mindblockable as people can slide into a [14][23] jumptrill from muscle memory.

-[02:27.113] Compared to the previous note, this is alright. Doesn’t last too long, changes into something less blockable after a measure.

-[02:32.113] oofiest of oofs. Nothing particularly wrong, just a lot happening at the end of the song.

-[02:44.363] With minijacks being the theme on the table in this last bit, this 16th should be a minijack, preferably not coupled with the jump, but with the 8th.

-[02:47.030] Also a minijack coupled with the 8th.

-A lot good with this chart, a lot that needs some cleaning up before going in. Don’t like how abrasive the 24ths are especially nearing the end of the song (it’s a real rough AAA-trap), but are fine as-is. It’s mostly the 16ths that are real quiet and were omitted from the earliest parts of the song, but being stepped later in the song, and some other levels of missing 16ths due to this that are of the biggest concern.

Overhaul - The Silver Crystal

Thanks for notes GS!

I made this file a while ago and over the months I've definitely gotten better at charting.
Most of the patterns and structure is alright, but I feel the fun factor is greatly enhanced with these changes

19.947, 21.280, 22.613, 23.947 etc. I turned these into mini jacks, there is a shift in velocity on this notes that makes it standout from the rest and they happen to repeat.
(I also found this a lot more fun to play)

I made a lot of pattern more consistent with repeating sounds( the most prominent one is the pattern from 30.113 - 30.447, I didn't recognise this but it's the same sound as 32.780, 35.447, 38.113, 40.780 etc etc. (I made these all a descending/ascending pattern with a 16th (some were on the same column before))

I reverted the quarter BPM thing and just made the whole chart 180 bpm.

I had alot of white flams on the melody that made the file look really messy, so I just turned the part where the melody and the percussion overlapped into full white jumps. It makes the file look so much cleaner.

omited jump at 127.780 to make room for the melody and not make 127.447 and 127.780 the same exact note because they're different in pitch.

Turned most of the 24th split trills into either rolls or splitrolls

There quite a few inconsistent jumps and singles that I adressed( I turned 119.030 from a single into a jump for example, because it's the same sound as the following 4 jumps)

Goldstinger's Notes:
Fixed everything except:

[01:07.696 & 01:07.863] 100% speed -- I removed 1:07.696, 1:10.863, 1:27.030 and 1:56.696, but 1:07.863 is very clearly there even on 100% speed --

-[01:40.363] Personal preference. I like what you did with this section. I probably would have put a [34][12]3[24] going into that 8th jump, to take advantage of that drum hook that’s following into the 8th there. Happens again at 01:46.030.

I wasn't exactly sure what you meant with this, but I moved the 4th at 101.113 to column 3 and I turned 105.780 into a slow split trill

-[02:47.030] Also a minijack coupled with the 8th.

I don't know about this one doesn't stand out much as a minijack to me, I agree wholeheartedly with 164.363(also changed 165.113 and 170.113 because it's the same sound)
