I already know that this will most likely never happen seeing as FFR is not affiliated with the creators with stepmania, and i'm probably less likely to influence them, but i still like this idea. Oh, and someone let me know if anyone has already thought of this before, 'cause it seems pretty simple to me.
Instead of creating stepfiles the traditional way, as in, entering in arrows and playing them back to see if they fit correctly with the music, you could play the song and imagine the arrows in your head, and play the song like it's already a stepfile. The arrows you press would be placed into the song editing chart and you could edit it normally from there (obviously you won't always play notes directly on time, and you'll probably mess up a few times).
You would still need to enter the BPM and offset first so the game knows where the beat is, but other than that, it seems like it would make the process so much easier.
On a side note, i would also add a feature to round notes to the nearest, say, 16th note or so (customizable option, not default) while doing the imaginary file creation process, that way you don't have a bunch of orange and green notes everywhere.
