- Perms, sync, and metadata good.
On a technical level, my notes are mostly minor things or suggestions:
- 0.370: Higher than next few notes, suggest column 3.
- 30.645: Jump PR is odd in this sequence.
- 37.845: Missing jump
- 39.845: Missing jump
- 72.913: Missing jump
- 76.113: Missing note to guitar
- 108.025: One-handed flam ending off a longjack is pretty rude, recommend column 2.
- 145.582: Would like to see some PR on these hands, or even just changing the ones starting at 145.782 to [234] hands to accent the cymbal crashes (which aren't present at 145.582).
- 155.792: Some trillier patterns wouldn't be out of place here. Would personally use [12]34232[14].
* 189.564-199.365: Directly PRing both the cyan notes & the other guitar separately is enticing, but notice how it forces completely unwarranted 3-note anchors here, which isn't difficulty-relevant but is jarring nonetheless. I highly recommend removing these anchors--the weakening of PR is a small price to pay.
- 218.137: This is a little awkward on the right hand. Not awful, but definitely a little rude this late in the file.
- 226.271: This is fine... but lmao.
- 234.554: Suggest making this a [123] hand both for PR and so that the quad at 235.661 accents the heavier guitar note.
- 236.810: Funky PR for this jump.
But I have major issues with the colour theory in this chart.
** 57.046-63.446, 108.248-114.649: I have absolutely no idea what the cyan note colour theory goes to. Please either *vastly clarify* it or remove it entirely, because if I can't figure it out in editor nobody's going to know why it's there when they play it either.
- 97.580: This is an example of good colour theory.
- 99.180, 99.575: These cyan notes are very dubious as well--they're just guitar notes. Specifically, two of them out of five that play in sequence. Why just these two? My suggestion would be to get rid of the colour theory here, and maybe add a cyan note at 99.713 to make this more cohesive with the next section.
- 103.713: Missing cyan.
- 106.380-107.981: Kinda also strikes me as overkill, but at least makes sense.
The file is overall good, but if nothing else it's absolutely mandatory that the 57.046 note be addressed before this goes in-game. The 189.564 note is not required, but I strongly suggest you change it. Outside of those notes, I found the structure to generally be quite explicit and the choruses to be really well done. There are moments where the patterns feel a little stiff and awkward, but honestly that might just be me being awful at longjacks, and I still found it quite fun to play overall. [8/10 CQ]

- 39.845: Missing jump
there is something about this jump that i just cant bring myself to add. it is structurally correct to include this note here, but something about how the song builds down makes it feel like this is the one note that i should leave out. adding it in feels wrong and lessens the impact of the following jump for the cymbal crash and with the song building down it feels better to leave out the extra note, than to add more to compensate for it, which just contradicts that build down. all of this to say, there is no good reason for me not to add that note, but my gut tells me i shouldn't.
* 189.564-199.365: Directly PRing both the cyan notes & the other guitar separately is enticing, but notice how it forces completely unwarranted 3-note anchors here, which isn't difficulty-relevant but is jarring nonetheless.

PRing both notes isn't really the problem. I agree that the anchors are undesirable however i dont really see what can be done about it. With how the guitar notes are patterns the cyans either create a massive one hand trill, create a trill of just the cyan notes, or create jacks in the pattern. A relatively PR-y pattern is the best solution of the 3. The other option is to move the other notes, and PR the cyans, but it just feels wrong, especially when we've been following the PR of those notes for the entire section, and kinda ruins the really cool note coloring going on in this section. If i could figure out a way to avoid the jacks i would, but i think its the best solution we have. I can however alter the placement of the first set, to reduce the number of jacks in the section, but i dont think its possible to avoid them entirely.
- 218.137: This is a little awkward on the right hand. Not awful, but definitely a little rude this late in the file.
i dont find this pattern to be that bad. It could be a little easier for sure, but it also could be a lot worse.
- 236.810: Funky PR for this jump.
its not a note that really feels like it deserves some sort of difficult placement and the 43[21] feels like a nice easy pattern to
** 57.046-63.446, 108.248-114.649: I have absolutely no idea what the cyan note colour theory goes to. Please either *vastly clarify* it or remove it entirely, because if I can't figure it out in editor nobody's going to know why it's there when they play it either.
- Go listen to 3:09, and then listen to this section again. Its the same part, but the instrumentation is a bit different and its a bit slower. This includes that same guitar the cyan notes are for at 3:09, which also appears here. I guess it can get a bit drowned out at time by the other instruments but its there.
99.180, 99.575: These cyan notes are very dubious as well--they're just guitar notes. Specifically, two of them out of five that play in sequence. Why just these two? My suggestion would be to get rid of the colour theory here, and maybe add a cyan note at 99.713 to make this more cohesive with the next section.
These are just guitar notes, however, there are two guitars. In this section i have some nice PR for one guitar, and this other guitar is just sitting there and i felt i should do something with it. All of the cyan notes are to follow that other guitar. Its one of those things that had i been making this for stepmania i probably would've used hold to represent that other guitar, and without holds it feels like ignoring the guitar would be some sort of crime. without holds, instead use color. There aren't more notes/other notes because they aren't for that one guitar, they are probably in fact the other guitar. I dont hear any other notes that guitar is playing and thus the notes you suggest i should add cyan notes for, i dont hear. This is probably the weakest section of the song colorwise and i'm not all that against just removing it, but it would feel so wrong just just ignore the guitar.
everything else has been addressed and fixed.
