-[01:04.128] Single here on the 8th, jump on the 16th instead (see 00:58.878)
-[01:07.428] Somewhat of a nasty transition with the 16th jack from the previously following [13] jump, since it’s a jack going into a burst spike. It’s a hard call since I wouldn’t want to do [34][12] either for this.
-[01:09.228] This should be a 4th jump. I feel like there was intended emphasis for the bass here, but the drum still happens here, just like other iterations of 16th jumps into 4th jumps.
-[01:13.878] This is fine as an alternative to a jump, but speaks volumes about layering singles into jump minijacks. (see 01:03.978 or 01:21.678, they don’t necessarily contain the same impact, which could say some stuff about layering progression that may not be intended.)
-[01:23.178] This is fine, but would have liked to see the same thing over at 01:03.978.
-[01:28.428] Same note as 01:09.228.
-[02:00.228] Think either this hand or the other hand that are still 4th colored should be swapped to white. You already have a hand at 01:59.628 colorized, there should be more to color here, whether it be reserving the major 4th hand at 02:00.828 for the measure transition, or reserving the 4th hand at 02:00.228 for proper spacing, since this colorization happens every other 4th.
-[02:05.628] see above note, in regards to colorization.
-[02:15.227 onwards] Section imho could use a small clean-up based on what’s happening with minijacks here, from the note entailed at 01:13.878. Did a quick gloss-over of the section, and just needed a double-check to make sure specifically the single minijacks are proper for what has been used elsewhere in the file.
-Really like the construction of the file. Also very non-bursty & all-around same difficulty, which is nice. Plays well.

"-[01:04.128] Single here on the 8th, jump on the 16th instead (see 00:58.878)"
The jump on the 8th is the result of two different synths: the melodic bass synth and a much quieter synth that's a repeated note. The following 16th remains a single because it's only a bass drum. This sequence is actually not the same as the earlier section you referenced.
"-[01:09.228] This should be a 4th jump. I feel like there was intended emphasis for the bass here, but the drum still happens here, just like other iterations of 16th jumps into 4th jumps."
You're correct here - added.
"-[01:13.878] This is fine as an alternative to a jump, but speaks volumes about layering singles into jump minijacks. (see 01:03.978 or 01:21.678, they don’t necessarily contain the same impact, which could say some stuff about layering progression that may not be intended.)"
Took a bit of thought but I understand what you're saying. Fair point, something for me to muse upon.
"-[01:23.178] This is fine, but would have liked to see the same thing over at 01:03.978."
This is basically the same thing?
"-[01:28.428] Same note as 01:09.228."
Fixed.
"-[02:00.228] Think either this hand or the other hand that are still 4th colored should be swapped to white. You already have a hand at 01:59.628 colorized, there should be more to color here, whether it be reserving the major 4th hand at 02:00.828 for the measure transition, or reserving the 4th hand at 02:00.228 for proper spacing, since this colorization happens every other 4th."
"-[02:05.628] see above note, in regards to colorization."
So the colored chords are to actually emphasize the "reply" portion of the call-and-response melody. The louder and more dominant chords are basically echoed with a slightly more diminutive reply of the same notes (and occasionally dominant and diminutive melodies overlap), and it's that reply where I'm putting the colors. That said, this does mean I should have added color at 02:00.828 and 02:20.03, which I will.
"-[02:15.227 onwards] Section imho could use a small clean-up based on what’s happening with minijacks here, from the note entailed at 01:13.878. Did a quick gloss-over of the section, and just needed a double-check to make sure specifically the single minijacks are proper for what has been used elsewhere in the file."
So I probably did what I did because I felt there was more importance to the PR of the melody, and it didn't feel too jarring to have some minijacks slide by despite having different intentions. I feel it's also a bit difficult to avoid those unintentional minijacks in the second half of this latter section as we now layer in the claps, which often create hands.
