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.

[BAZanine]

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 

[Macca]

Added more Upside Down Show notes.

[Macca]

Okay I've cut the amount of Feeling Good notes.

[avi]

Agreed on not counting the Dont Dance to This F#6 and the G5 is the blackest G5 ever

[Electric Mami]

The A5 is linked 20 seconds too far and I'd mark the bold A4 as a G♯4 tbh
