That F#6 sounds looped and not countable, me thinks, and also having a bold F5 and F#5 from two different performances of the same song, in the same section is kind of wacky, but you do you, brother.

Also I don't think "Feeling Good" has to be in every section from F♯4 to C5 and then a few others.

I agree, the F#6 isn't countable
