2-2-2-2-2-2, perhaps? Would require no whammy on 4th and 8th phrases.

edit- only accounted for 10 phrases, so added -2 on the end =O

02BlackWS6 - Last Child - Hard SP

This is the path that I used for 5th place. It's similar to Sully's with a few slight tweaks. The activations on the picture are correct, but the ending notes may not be, I tried to do this from memory, and it is 4 a.m.

:EDIT:
Ok so I looked over my chart and noticed a few mistakes.
1st activation last one measure longer and a squeeze is possible.
2nd activation is right
3rd activation lasts about 3/4 of a measure longer
4th activation is right
5th activation is about a measure shorter
6th activation is right

My score is now 7th place and is 931 points behind first, but I believe my activations are correct, I think I just missed the squeezes
