If your googledrive file is up to date, then all your Normals are flipped. There are also some Faces on the edges that are wrong:

That can’t be good for baking…

What caused these normals to get so messed up?

It looks like A) your LO poly may not be aligned well enough with your HI poly or B) your sculpted accepts changed the broad shape of you HI poly too far away from the LO poly. Either way I demonstrated a way to refine the threshold of baking during the week 3 stream.

Make sure to thank @duerer and @spikeyxxx for their insight and attentiveness 🙏

All right, I’m done.  This was not an easy decision to make, but my computer has been struggling for a very long time.  Even in completely new files, Blender stops responding for no apparent reason.  In addition, my tablet buttons are jammed, and I’ll have to get a new pen.  Regardless, I learned a lot from this collab, and I’m happy I got an A for the first week.  It’s been great working with you all.

I have ordered a new custom-built computer that is estimated to arrive on July 2nd.  It has the latest graphics card, a ton of RAM, and a 144 hz monitor.  I will not be making anything in Blender until it arrives.  I have lost all patience for my cheap laptop.

In the meantime, I’ll focus on music.  I need to get back to some of the music I’ve been working on, and I need to get better at the piano.

See you in July!

@williamatics You’re always welcome 😀! You clearly made progress in this Collab and what you’ve learned will make future projects easier for you. I’m looking forward to see you here again 😀!

@williamatics, I am sorry to hear that you have been having computer issues that have prevented you from benefiting from the full collab experience.  Even with your computer limitations, your thread shows that you made good progress.  I am sure you can’t wait for the delivery of your new computer.  We will see you on the other side.  Until then, enjoy working on your music.

@williamatics I agree with @splat21: Enjoy your music until you come back with full thrust from your new computer 😀!

PS: As an amateur piano player myself, I very much like your piano model (WIP) here and here😀👍!
