I was playing around with music speed mods last night, trying to give myself a .95x to go at Club with. Here's what I have found out.

Open up the .metrics, and do a search for "RateDefault" which will bring you right to the section that sets out the speed mods. This area is set up pretty much exactly like the arrow speed mods, so you should be able to figure out how to work it.

The thing is, while you can add more music speed mods, all of the ones that SM can handle are already there (well, except for .1x and .2x, but who in their right mind would use those?). Setting a mod above 2.0 will crash SM if the mod is used, and setting a mod that goes to the second decimal (such as a .95x) will just round it (in this case to 1.0x; .94x rounds to .9x). So unless I'm missing something, it seems that SM already has all of the music speed mods it can handle, and that tinkering with the metrics isn't going to get you more.
