Will be adding note color schemes soon. Judging can be done anytime, colors are an afterthought

New draft. Does not include color schemes (yet).

A new chart file was uploaded with the following changes:
----------
Note Count changed: 4885 => 4988
AVG NPS changed: 12.40792 => 12.66955
Hand Bias changed: -73 => -56

Shihen (Full Version)
---------------------
- Perms, sync, metadata good.

** This song is really, really repetitive. Like, kind of painfully repetitive, to the point where I don't really think it's suitable for FFR without a significant cut. However, the chart is not awful on a technical level, so I'll give you a 6.0 so you can appeal this with another judge if you so desire.

I've also included some specific notes about the chart itself, but please keep in mind that these are not the driving factors behind this file's rejection.
- 23.728-41.625: These jacks / jump chains seem inconsistent; the lengths vary seemingly randomly, with variously 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 note long jacks happening throughout to sounds that are basically the same. It gets stranger starting at the 33.435 hand where even whether you follow it with jacks becomes inconsistent. Repeats at 43.142-61.342.
- 42.080, 42.383, 42.687: What are these jumps for?
- 63.314: In this section you usually keep the entry to the minijack clear; this is the one exception and there's not much reason for it.
- 91.296: Should be a jump as at 110.710.
- 117.914: Missing jump, see 115.488.
- 118.066: Yikes, that's pretty left hand biased. At the very least I suggest moving the 8th leading into the minijack to some other column, but this might be best handled just splitting this jump and putting the minijack on the right hand instead.
- 123.678: Ascending, not a minijack. 139.451 is another erroneous minijack.
- 138.390: This seems like a weird time to halve the bpm. Why not at 140.210?
- 162.505-187.530 (roughly): While not technically incorrect, I'm personally not a fan of having hands to the clap because it detracts from the escalation when the heavy beat comes in ~189.047.
- 315.538: Again, why halve the bpm here?
- 396.377: Should be 24ths, not 32nds.

[6/10]

Thanks for the comments here and the file, most of the feedback seems to align with what I have changed about the file since submission in October.

However I'd like to appeal on the reject with a different judge since it seems FFR seems to dislike marathon files that are not super technical or 'not repetitive' - please read over this commentary with the other judge if possible - thanks ya'll - I sectioned different parts with different patterns so that the player doesn't get bored with the changes in the song (or lack thereof) and to keep them on their toes (which is why the file gets progressively harder), and also thought FFR could use a full version of a dance trance marathon. I know most files are kept to under 3 minutes since the average file tends to be that way for replayability but I genuinely think trance songs can be an exception if the file is hard enough with varying sections to keep people interested.. that's just my thought process anyways behind this file and Fake Promise. If another judge could look over this file or the newest version I have that would be great but I'm sure they would have the same technical comments and it'll boil down to the song being too long or you guys saying 'okay maybe we can give this marathon song a shot and see if the general public likes it or not' kind of a deal. I personally enjoy trance marathon files. Maybe I'm the odd one out?

nvm we got it figured out
