Downscroll Hold Fix

[SKG_Scintill]

There's one thing about downscroll that keeps messing up my reading, and that's this:

Here the distance between the two arrows is relatively large compared to some other files, but this was the first file I found to have this.

The 4th note is at the end of the hold, which in some cases causes an overlap with the next note.
Also, if it's a long hold, I can't even see what snap I have to hit at the beginning of the hold, given that I normally play C700.

Now I was wondering if it was possible to put the hold head at the bottom of the hold instead of the top:

I suppose it's possible to change it in the metrics, maybe someone can figure out how. It would help a lot.

Re: Downscroll Hold Fix

yeah its a simple noteskin metric fix
add this and you should be good:
FlipHeadAndTailWhenReverse=1
StopDrawingHoldBodyOffsetFromTail=0

Doesn't seem to work, any particular place in metrics that it has to be in?

Re: Downscroll Hold Fix

the noteskins metrics (each noteskin has its own), not your theme metrics

Re: Downscroll Hold Fix

Thanks, that worked
The end of the hold is straight now though

You need to make Hold TopCap Active.png and Hold TopCap Inactive.png and edit the .REDIR files for each of the arrows

ie.

add in Down Hold TopCap Inactive.png and Down Hold TopCap Active.png

Since there's an image for the down arrow already you just need to edit (in notepad) these following files:

Left Hold TopCap Active.redir -> replace blank.png with Down Hold TopCap Active.png
Right Hold TopCap Active.redir -> replace blank.png with Down Hold TopCap Active.png
Up Hold TopCap Active.redir -> replace blank.png with Down Hold TopCap Active.png

Left Hold TopCap Inactive.redir -> replace blank.png with Down Hold TopCap Inactive.png
Right Hold TopCap Inactive.redir -> replace blank.png with Down Hold TopCap Inactive.png
Up Hold TopCap Inactive.redir -> replace blank.png with Down Hold TopCap Inactive.png
