What the heck, sm5 can't count?
 Some people try to aim for lucky numbers when they step their files. I was lucky enough to step 777 arrows on a file without doing that. In order to be able to realize that, though, I had to FC the song (which is not easy considering my level of expertise). Just look at those results SM5 throws at me if I were not to FC it, none is right. How am I supposed to understand this? How do you guys do it!?

Basically jumps/hands/etc. are counted as one arrow in the score

Re: What the heck, sm5 can't count?
I think they're not even counted at all, 549 is the number of taps if you look in the lower part!

Re: What the heck, sm5 can't count?
Maybe Quads aren't counted in the hands. Is there a quad in the file?

the individual notes in jumps, hands and quads are not scored separately; stepmania isn't ffr and yeah there's probably a quad in your file that's counted as a hand

What I was ultimately wondering about, though, was how did you guys effectively counted how many arrows you had in your chart without any imprecisions? PS: yeah I used a quad it does make sense on that part, though I'm a bit bummed SM doesn't see it as one

Re: What the heck, sm5 can't count?
549 judgments = 549 chords
"taps" = all chords with 1+ notes "jumps" = all chords with 2+ notes "hands" = all chords with 3+ notes (Not sure why they don't bother putting quads there lol) SM5 is BS for other reasons though... pce

Re: What the heck, sm5 can't count?
Also sm5 counts taps = full combo in the song selection >_> quite confusing
