I have a few questions:
1. Do you have any good tips on matching a ust with music? I'm having a really hard time doing that.
2. Do you use sheet music to insert the notes for your UTAU?
3. If not, what do you do use?
4. Do you have any tips on how to make some of the more fast notes not sound like word vomit?

1. The easiest and simplest way to match off vocals with vocals is to listen to the original song. Download it, put it together with your off vocal and match the vocals, then remove the original song, so you've only got your vocals and the off vocals left. When it comes to volume mixing, it depends on the clarity and power of the voice banks that you use. Softer voice banks or appends naturally struggle with louder off vocals, but adding a soft echo or treble and bass might help, if lowering the velocity and volume of the off vocals doesn't work as desired.
2. I rarely make usts myself but when I do, I make the off vocal or instrumental first. When I do so, I already have a midi file which gives me a good idea of note composition.
4. That mostly depends on how clear your voice bank is. Power appends tend to focus on pronunciation. But you can add more emphasis of your consonants in a second act for your utau. For mine, I made it a point in the oto editing to keep her pronunciation harsh and focused on consonants, so when she sings fast paced songs (ex. Beats of silence or CARLA) she has no other choice than to sing clear. The way the ust was made plays a keen role too. If your utau indeed sounds unclear, you can try editing the ust to your utaus oto. Ini. I often have to tinker a bit with existing ust, to make Em suit MiKO.
Hope it helped. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.
