Though I would personally suggest the latter since I believe you'll improve faster, and in more fields, when working with a larger variety of patterns and maps rather than focusing on a couple patterns featured in a couple songs.If you keep playing songs that level for practice, slightly bellow to master the basics and slightly above to expose yourself to harder stuff, there's no doubt you'll acquire the skills you need to do the patterns you're having trouble with in time.

And it is a lot more fun.Practicing one specific pattern you're having trouble with, can really help you get better at that pattern a lot faster in my experience. But just be sure that you play more songs than you practice specific patterns because mania is still a rhythm game after all.Also this 'lvl' is just something mappers use to indicate how difficult they think their chart is. There are different standards though, but most will use the o2jam lvl standards (1-50, there are also levels beyond that but they are usually a bit on a weird scale imo. A lvl50 song can be just as hard as a lvl90 etc)<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n Raging Bull<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 2,809 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed June 2010<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Raging Bull<\/a>\n\n \n 2013-12-24T01:49:40+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n well to me, it seems like theres a huge jump in difficulty for me with a diff that is very straightforward and then a difficulty that is completely unbeatable to me.

Higher level (O2Jam) maps (and I think BMS also) combine rhythms in songs, so you might be doing left-right scales while playing chords.
