Did you search for existing feature requests for this? It's important and we need to cast a ballot for one that gets most attention, bc otherwise it the votes will spread and not make impact.
Okay I searched for it - there's one I found, only regarding missing hos and pos, dismissing bends and articulation: https://yousician.uservoice.com/forums/296820-feature-requests/suggestions/39813496-hammer-on-pull-off-indicators-in-guitar-standard
Let's just hope they'll react.

What if the producer made some edits for the record, should those be included? What if someone else wrote it and the artist just performed it? What if there's multiple versions that the artist wrote and only one of them got onto the record and got heavily altered through the production process?
You think those songs in Yousician aren't following the original writings? Or recordings?

Very much yes, technical development needs clearly laid out development goals or integration to existing learning paths through obligatory supporting exercises, kind of a shadow learning path that runs along the missions.

Please file this as feedback directly to the company as well.
There used to be warmups and such for singers on guided lessons, but they were an unpopular feature and got removed. After all they need to give the market what it wants or they have no business. They may still there (on some videos maybe?), just not mandated or actively encouraged. Dunno.
I think there's a lot of room for growth all across Ys' spectrum. They'd need to tailor the ue differently for serious learners and people looking for fun while learning on the side. That would need a lot of effort, I hope they'll be able to pull it off some day. They could at least have an option for those warm ups.

Then again that's not a priority in their main market. Western cultural sphere would be alienated. They probably need another subsidiary altogether that would work in India and serve Indian audience, and they would need much more effective content filtering. This is a huge endeavour. Doesn't sound like a bad idea to get culturally sensitive, but given the limited resources of the small company they're probably hard pressed to meet this need for now. I hope they can do it some day though.

You can find it out yourself by playing it.

This will only foster artificial score hunting and serves no purpose game-wise nor learning-wise. You should learn to play it perfectly.
You can press R or costruct a controller pedal form a broken keyboard to do that for you.

May I add that your muscle memory needs to learn how to move your muscles in a fluid and controlled manner. That's why it's best practiced at slow tempo. Even Liszt did that for his whole life, and he earned his position as the greatest pianist ever lived.
I would suggest that you break the song into phrases and learn them at extremely slow tempo without a backing track. The original suggestion does not provide the value you want, practice technique will. That's something Yousician should be teaching more.
You may stop the song first to get the general idea of where your hands should move, but after that, you should practice at slow speed - as slow as it takes, and even use the play for me -feature and play along first. And listen to it playing. That will give you more and faster than playing one note at time while ignoring the rhythmic and dynamic structure of a phrase you're learning.

Here's another one of this where I put it in more blatant words what I think of the idea: https://yousician.uservoice.com/forums/296820-feature-requests/suggestions/35863915-at-your-own-pace

Music happens in time. The accuracy of playing a certain note means anything only when it happens in the context of the time of the song. This is not practicing accuracy, to be precise.
You can do this by stopping the playback in practice mode and playing the notes one by one. I do this all the time.
I don't oppose, but I don't see myself using this a lot. But you never know, maybe I would. I would couple it with a metronome click so that I could have a goal speed that I could try to match.

I loved it to the bits and didn't find it too difficult. I'm sorry to hear that you did. Maybe it could help to get some peer support and tips for playing it in the Facebook group, their Discord server or Reddit. Reddit is growing, but still FB group has to be the most active, and the Discord server the next.
I've never seen a vertical staff on sheet music.
