There has to be a better way...

Got around to charting this, played it OK and was more than 10K off the high score rather than my usual 3000.

So..........looking for a tweak here.

1. Get 2, use it on the next RY chord
2. Here is where I might be off...Get 2, use it ASAP. Didn't combine it with SP 5 because I used that with #6.
3. Get 2, use it ASAP
4. Whammy 7, use it at the end of the first RY hold
5. Get the last 2, use it towards the end where the many green notes start.

Thought this would be best path because there isn't many SP toward the end and I couldn't figure a way to use them all. Is it better then to combine 3, 4, and 5, use it on the chords, then combine 6 and 7 but activate during the sustain of 7? I'll try it this way but I'm curious if this is how you guys did it. Thanks

I'm rubbish at this track. My best score is only about 101,000. How many points do I actually need to get 4 stars on this setting?

Sorry debr5836. I've just spotted your 4 star estimate.
