Colored steps?

What do they mean?

Off-topic: Why is balloon fever the only song with pink notes?

Re: Colored steps?

Red notes are 4th notes, blue notes are 8th notes, and yellow notes are 16th notes.

The pink notes in Balloon Fever came from when they tried to use 12ths in DWI converter. It didn't work so well, so they stopped using 12ths.

Re: Colored steps?

It should also be noted that 32nds/64ths take the color of the nearest 16th note.

and 24ths turn red. hence red note syndrome.

Ohh. That's why those arrows are pink. I thought they were like uber arrows or something...

Doesn't work for FFR, FFR doesn't have colors for anything past 16ths.

I thought that's what was happening in some songs. At first I thought it was an unsync'ed double, then after seeing it a while, I realized it was intentional because it matched the music. It usually throws me off, but I'm not that great, so I'm not that surprised.

Regarding 1/192 notes, I can't ever remember seeing them in any music I've played, and I've been playing music since I was about 5 years old. I can't imagine them appearing unless they're used for musical grace notes (look it up on Wikipedia or see some of my remarks and responses to them in the Trills thread). Have people actually used 1/192 notes in step files? Is that why they exist and have a color?

Re: Colored steps?

I've seen them in SM files and everytime they needed to just make the song faster.

That or they did it for an artwork type thing. (File is offsync but not too much so it just looks pretty lol)
