# HAG - Songs Compilation [Starlight]

One feature of this map that becomes blatantly obvious right away is the amount of symmetry used. ✔

> ^ Would reword this as "One prominent feature of this map stems from the amount of symmetry used" or something similar since "blatant" has a negative connotation to it and "blantantly obvious" implies that the reader knows this already, which shouldn't be so eagerly assumed

This includes symmetry across the y and x axis, along with notes simply being mirrored images of each other that aren’t necessarily centered on any axis. ✔

This symmetry is implemented in various different ways, including mirrored sliders that are often centered about an axis, jump patterns centered around an axis, 2 identical jump patterns with the midpoint between them on an axis, and sliders simply laid out on an axis, whether the be straight, wave, or some other shape. ✔

One pattern to note is the use of mirrored notes to begin and/or end a pattern about the y or x axis. ✔

An example of this would be entering or exiting a pattern consisting of sliders curved toward an axis with a slider curved away from that same axis. ✔

---

Partially due to the overwhelming symmetry present in the map, there are many notable note positionings that occur in this map. ✔

Regarding jump patterns, squares and stars commonly pop up in this map, with the squares oftentimes being symmetrical in some way. ✔

In addition, there are some parts with back and forth jumps (1-2’s), which are usually centered about an axis and increase in spacing slightly later into the pattern. ✔

COnsidering sliders, one commonly used pattern in this map is two symmetrical ½ sliders along with a 1/1 slider to form some shape, which is oftentimes a triangle. ✔

Another aspect of this map to look into, ~~especially for me~~, is how measures of the songs stand out in comparison to measures around them in order to emphasize specific parts of each song and keep them from repeating too much. ✔

> ^ Avoid the first person here. You can remove this part and it will still have the same meaning

For this I’m only going to focus on differences within a song, since not repeating patterns often or at all in a song compilation that is 13 minutes long. ✔

> ^ Sure, although the first person usage is making me lose immersion with the analysis itself. Grammar could also use some work here (i.e. this is a run-on sentence)

~~First off, it's important to~~ note how measures that transition into new phrases are ~~basically~~ always either circles on the 1/2s, possibly with a ½ slider toward the start, or some pattern that may include some sliders but makes use of notes on the ¼. ✔

> ^ Remove fluff words

These measures are then followed by on with either many ½ sliders or a mix of 1/1 and ½ slider with circles being a rare appearance. ✔

Regarding overall note patterns across phrases, I found that patterns mentioned before such as two ½ slider and a 1/1 slider forming a triangle, are used again at some point (*where?*), but the flow through them is changed up (*how?*) and minute changes in slider shapes are included to reduce the repetition felt by the pattern. ✔
