These are my solutions... the only levels I haven't yet beaten are, unsurprisingly, Armani's!

The solutions for my levels are all fine!

@Crane

R1 - Backroute as you might had guessed. Doh, that was a dumb on my part! I thought it was all aligned perfectly on the right side when it was actually offset by a pixel. I've fixed that now for V3 and thanks for catching that! Apparently I forgot to check the x-coordinates this time!

R2 - Backroute as well. Added a button for V2.

R3 - Intended! Great job! Now to make a version without pickups that hopefully won't be broken for my Lemmings Memories pack once I take them out, as I only plan to use them as a last resort for backroute fixing!

Alternatively,

You can dig the left pillar on the far left side with the climber instead of the right pillar. That works too. I thought about blocking this alternative off but I decided to leave it in as another nice way of solving the level

[Crane]

Now to solve your patched levels when the time comes!

Note about kaywhyn's R3

I was going to dig away the left pillar to show off, but it's actually pretty dangerous because the lemmings follow the climber, and it risks causing them to splat as they fall down the digger shaft that's tunnelled to set up the miner.

P.S. I'm pretty sure this is the intended solution to kaywhyn's R1!

Indeed, you're correct about this alternative. It does work, but it cuts it very close. I do plan to make a no pickups version of the level for my Lemmings Memories pack and I'll have to check if the alternative still works. I do plan to increase the Lemming count and maybe different entrance arrangements, but even then I could always reduce or even eliminate the possibility by

making the catwalk shorter

Yup, intended! Great job! I knew this one would be no problem for you since you use something similar in Lemmings Cranium but here I added a bit of a twist to it so that it's still pretty nasty for those who aren't aware of the main trick. Hence, it could very well still be a final rank level for my pack, though maybe the difficulty is drastically reduced thanks to there not being that many possibilities? I'll leave it as a final rank level for now and wait for further feedback!

Spoiler

This one actually has two intended ways, since the basher and miner are interchangeable!
