[1] marks yelps and short trills in high range or anacrusis and short dips in low range.
[2] marks notes of questionable identity that cannot be confirmed to be the singer in question.
[3] marks non-melodic notes that don't have a significant enough pitch to warrant inclusion.
[4] marks notes that possess uncertain pitch or have been pitch-shifted.
[5] marks notes that do not fit the previous criteria but are not of a substantial enough quality to warrant counting towards the singer's range.
[6] marks notes that were produced via inhalation

I would like some input on this, do we really need the E4 and F4 sections for Arthur here because I've been questioning this for a while but I would like some more opinions

[Velsarie Vivardesque]

Having heard his voice I think not at all, F#4 is fine to start from

[Bink]

Thought I'd let you all know, I am going over a few thread finishes in the next few weeks, and this guy is near the top of the list! So expect a finished thread of him soon.

(also smart quotes are gone! yay!)

[Homelander]

That B5 is impressive, though I definitely think it should be blue.

[Homelander]

Also, I think the B4 from “Revelation” could be coloured green as well. Very harsh screams in that song.
