I can't quite decide on the best path... but I think it is 2-2-3 to get the most notes out of it.

2 - Next note
2 - Measure 68 (3 measures)
3 - Measure 124 (9 measures)

I got 26th so I must be doing something wrong...any ideas?

I followed a similar path that barely got me 7 stars. If anyone has the 1st place path or something close it would be sweet if they would post it.

Well I just got 17th place using 2, 3, 2... and I think I could have gotten 1 more note under the SP which would have put me up to 11th or so. No squeezing.

This just got me 94350 and a top 5 position: 2-3-2 is definitely the best path. I just made a few modifications really.

2 - NOT the next note (red hold) but the red one right after
3 - after 2 red holds, first red note (measure 85)
2 - red notes in measure 124
