According to my count, what I do have gives me 30 points total right now.

Oh yes. Those points that are "hard to judge" are ones I need to go back on and make more clear. Thank you for reminding me.

But for example, if I were to FC Thinking Different instead of having a single digit miss on it, I'd add 2 points for that song, not 3, and my overall total would become 1 point higher.

Yep, you're absolutely right on that. It used to be that all the points added cumulatively, so an FC on Thinking Different would have been 3 points, but that can get too complicated/annoying to count for a lot of people, and also adding them normally like you were describing comes more naturally to people.

The reason I haven't tried making a calculator yet is because of those odd requirements such as Devotion and Desire: Combo all the parts where he says "devotion and desire" as well as "set myself on fire". That would be extremely difficult to work into a calculator, and most likely the calculator would have to have access to your replays, which wouldn't work for more than the 5 scores that you'd have saved in your replays. I'm debating whether to take those requirements out. IMO, they hit the nail on the head as far as singling out the prescribed skill, but they're hard to prove without a replay.

Now I have LOTS of ideas for improving the system, but unfortunately I need to be working on homework that I should have been doing since the beginning of spring break. :\
