Default Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary

you forgot 2-hand 3-finger, which is a variant of index that a lot of people used to use but it isn't that common anymore

what you have labeled as "triplets" should be "triples". triplets are a musical term indicating 3 notes where the note denomination would usually have two (an eighth note triplet (or 12th in music game terms) has 3 notes per beat where there would be two eighth notes in that same beat). triples are the term for the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.etc pattern

gallops can also be x..xx..xx..xx and not just x.xx.xx.xx

you might also add in that hands also includes quads (because to hit a quad without cheating them on pad, you have to use two hands)

you could also include mini-staircases (123212321etc) as a running man variant

rolls don't have to be 1234 or 4321, they can be any pattern of all four arrows (1324, 1423, etc)

you could include spins (1243 or 3421), a roll variant (though they're more important for pad/index than anything)

for the stream section, you could include that "stream" usually indicates a string of 16th notes, but there's 4th stream, 8th stream, 12th stream, etc. to indicate any long set of notes with a single note denomination. in general I disagree with all of the places that say it only applies for a certain denomination and up, because those terms can be useful to describe patterns at any speed
