I just beat the Simon boss again and not sure if this helps with your set up but map a key to have the song wheel on ( by default it's right control here ) and then move the cursor around the wheel to match, then there is no clicking. I've mentioned this a few times in previous Simon threads, but the method that works like a charm for me is to create a counting/note mnemonic based on the sequence. so I count each note in my head at the tone it is, like a little number song. keep the note wheel directly adjacent to Simon, no overlap and try and herd Li well out of the way, ideally to the top right. like Glam said, barring any note combination setting you off into beast form or something, this should help speed up the process, I was able to curry his favour and he relinquished his empty platter of plenty in about 5 minutes.
I havn't tried that technique of placing Naija right on top of Simon, very interesting! that area is my favourite place to shop for eggs silver
