  1. For timing reference if needed, in my ddream the first note falls on 1.661.
  2.  
  3. Some general comments first:
  4. - This is already accepted so take anything said here as a suggestion for improvement.
  5.  
  6. - Considering both the layering and patterning approach of the chart are kinda liberal (which is generally fine for chordmashing), I'll only point out layering issues that particularly stand out for me.
  7.  
  8. - The low density and usage of almost only minijacks make most of the chart pretty easy, so keep that in mind when I comment about the spike on (15) and (16).
  9.  
  10. (1) 3.452 to 3.788 (and various other repetitions of the same thing)
  11. Unless you have a very specific density in mind, 3.452 and 3.676 have the same sounds going on and should be both jumps (or single notes). I'm guessing you left it like this to make a 'connection' to previous beat but I don't think that's very effective.
  12.  
  13. (2) 7.034 to 7.146
  14. I think this is the only instance where you step the 32nd minitrill with one hand doing a flam (43 on right hand for not starting with [12] or [34]), so I'd consider changing to keep it consistent. But then again, you don't even step those 32nds for the heavier layered repetitions of this section.
  15.  
  16. (3) 7.930 to 8.825 (and various other repetitions of the same thing)
  17. This layering doesn't make much sense, the 8.377 and 8.489 jumps have hits from all the instruments that could go with the preceding quads (albeit with different pr).
  18. Using quads also diminishes the effect of the big hit on 8.825.
  19. The freeze on 8.601 is ok locally but you miss the opportunity for a motif with the patterning of the same sound in 19.124 and repetitions.
  20.  
  21. (4) 12.407
  22. Missing quad
  23.  
  24. (5) 15.094 to 15.989
  25. 15.094 has all the same instruments as 15.206 and 15.318 and should have same layering. I think you are ignoring the lower hit of that extra percussion sound on 15.094.
  26. The stronger snare hit (?) on 15.318 could be differentiated maybe.
  27. 15.430 is fine as jump as it doesn't have that extra sound but 15.542 and 15.654 are a lower counterpart of 15.094 and 15.206 and should have corresponding layering.
  28. Unlike (3), the note at 15.877 feels weird to omit if you are giving emphasis to that extra sound.
  29.  
  30. (6) 25.840 to 26.736
  31. This is similar to (3) and should be treated accordingly. More precisely, it is identical to the 11.512 repetition.
  32.  
  33. (7) 29.422 to 30.318
  34. same
  35.  
  36. (8) 37.258
  37. This doesn't have the same well marked sharp sound like the other freeze quads to warrant the big emphasis.
  38.  
  39. (9) 44.758, 44.982
  40. If those single notes are for the sake of lowering difficulty, it doesn't really make much difference.
  41.  
  42. (10) 45.989, 46.885
  43. Missing hand or same as (9)
  44.  
  45. (11) 47.780 to 48.004
  46. While I don't see a problem to step the trill to the vocals, it gets a bit confusing when mixed up with the buzz 32nd minitrills you are ignoring in this section.
  47.  
  48. (12) 67.314
  49. You ignored those lower buzzing 32nds everywhere else, so either remove this or include all of them.
  50.  
  51. (13) 83.825
  52. Same as (8).
  53.  
  54. (14) 91.213 to 101.960
  55. Same as (9), (10) and (11).
  56.  
  57. (15) 101.960 to 116.288
  58. The layering doesn't make much sense (alternating between super dense all hands to easy all jumps without any reasonably strong cue).
  59. Even alternating between two beats of rest and two beats of hard shit, this is already close to the limit of an acceptable difficulty spike. It's basically around the difficulty of (3) and repetitions but way longer.
  60.  
  61. (16) 116.288 to 129.721
  62. Similar to (15) but with less rest. The difficulty adds up pretty badly considering how long (15) and (16) are.
  63. I strongly recommend toning down both sections a bit to level with the rest of the chart. It's currently the infamous "only part I need to care about for scoring".
  64.  
  65. Beyond that is more repetition, see the previous notes.
