This one's bugging me: I can't seem to find a path better than my current, which gets me only 143,675 and 6th place. Top two places have over 146K. Hints anyone???

I've been going with a straight every 2-2-2-2-2-2 SP strat....which means I am activated during SP #11 (2nd set of RY chords in measure 106. Naturally, you want to tweak where you start/stop. That only puts me about 500pts ahead of you...which means you have probably been doing the same strat.

The only other thing I potentially see is the SP#5 GR notes in measure 49...but I have failed to see how to incorporate those without screwing everything else up.

hmm.....looking it over....I should try a 2-2-3-2-2 strat...where you are activated during both SP#5 (meas 49) AND SP#11 (Meas 106)....I'll try that tonight and let you know...unless you beat me to it.

This is identical to the one I came up with...and I mean Identical.
