I personally have a very hard time reading notes when they are close together so let your eyes get used to the new mod for a couple days then when they are bump it up more and each time the notes technically get farther apart, making it easier (at least for me) to read. a little over a month ago i was at 3 and thought that was high, now im at like 3.32 (trying to get to staiain status of like 3.85 or something lol)

Something else besides bumping speedmod up that I've noticed works is moving around receptor spacing. I haven't tried to go lower than 80 yet (and whatever SM is manually set to) but I've shifted from 80-85 in spacing and it sort of helps in reading tougher sections.

On FFR it's a little tough to say what's the best method of steady improvement; people say harder songs, others say other things like rates and stuff similar to that. I know from my personal experience that speedmod changing does help but at the same time it could hinder you; especially on tougher songs. When you get up to D6 range songs, you'll notice that you want a slower speedmod to time and read better than a different speedmod. Also, I've constantly changed from 2.7 to 2.85x on FFR and changing upwards has helped me greatly, but on those tricky songs I tend to stay at 2.7 or 2.75x.
