The leveling macro as shown for the 21-50 range is wrong. It should be:
/ac "Waste Not" <wait.2>

/ac Innovation <wait.2>

/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>

/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>

/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>

/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>

/ac Innovation <wait.2>

/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>

/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>

/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>

/ac Veneration <wait.2>

/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>

/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>

/e Macro Finished <se.1>

The problem with using Great Strides between Basic and Standard Touch is that it cancels out the combo. So you no longer get the bonus from comboing Standard off Basic. Putting Great Strides before Basic will still boost a touch action and give you the Standard combo immediately after. This will consistently give you max collectability, whereas with Basic > Great Strides > Standard you only get to max collectability sometimes.

The macro is intentionally designed this way for a few reasons. Great strides actually provides a larger benefit on the Standard Touch than it would on the basic touch. Both because you have more IQ stacks when Standard is used as well as Standard Touch giving 125% efficiency vs the 100% efficiency. It makes the great strides required for the macro to hit T2 rating at level 21-26. 

From there it also serves as a learning experience, situations like that have become more prevelant in endgame rotations sometimes as CP caps increase where you may need just a little more control to actualy reach a good quality breakpoint.

there's nothing on the 80-90 range, is that not ready yet or is there an issue with the slider?

There is, you just need to scroll down. Due to how the slider interacts with gear set embeds, it's creating gaps in the text. We'll try to get this fixed.
