    Quick question!

    Found awesome song i am working on now tho i have ran into a problem. I have a song where the b.p.m is 135 now i cut that in half to 67.5 to space it out more so the arrows wouldn't be so close together but when i hit a section when i want to start streaming my reds 4ths notes blues half notes and yellow notes are not fast enough for it, and i also dont want to just make a rainbow chart i want to keep it clean, any suggestions? sorry probably a dumb question but i am still learning and yes having fun!

    Either stay at 135 BPM and use 16ths; or use 32nds instead of 16ths when you have 67.5 BPM, it's up to you

    You can't avoid stepping a song at its full potentional while keeping it "clean"

      What Xayphon said.

      Basically double the note by its number the lower you decrease the bpm by half.

          That's not a reason to cut the BPM in half at all. When using a Cmod, the notes are going to be spaced the same independent of the BPM. And with an Xmod, lower BPMs make the notes closer together.

          If the beats offset "out of nowhere", then that means there's a break in the track that needs a stop to be fixed. (If the beats offset gradually, then the BPM would need fixing.)

          I can't think of why this would be happening if you update both the .ds and .sm files regularly, unless you have a global offset in SM that makes the offset different between programs. (Other note: If you use a positive offset in SM, that does not translate to ddream, because it does not allow beats before the start of the track. But if you open an .dm in ddream, the notes will appear in the same place.)

          If you can link to where to download the track you are stepping, I would be able to find the right sync for it, so you don't have to upload anything yourself. If you want, though, you can upload your .sm file or something.

          Don't forget to use punctuation in your sentences to make your thoughts more cohesive.

            That sounds like a VBR track, transcode it into CBR and stepmania should not go offsync when you start the song in the middle using the editor.
