Obviously not the best path, but should get you a little closer, and maybe you can adjust to get a couple extra notes....

2 sets of stars ---- use on the 5th red
2 sets of stars ---- use on the RY
1 set ---- use on the Yellow note
3 sets of stars ---- use right away.

I'm just inches from Rabies's #1 score on this (about 100 points away), so I think this path is pretty good...

- Get 2 Star Powers, then activate 6 1/2 measures later (so that your activation ends just after the chords).

- Get 3 Star Powers, then activate 1 measure later (at the start of the chords).

- Get 1 Star Power (make sure to do a full whammy), and activate immediately after (slightly BEFORE the next note, or you may miss the next SP).

- Get the remaining 3 Star Powers, and activate immediately after.
