Song Corrections Thread

[gold stinger]

Since there hasn't been further discussion on the topic, I have de-capitalized the D in drumcorps.

The song name "floating point (Drumcorps Remix)" stays as-is, since that is how it is posted both from drumcorps links and The Algorithm links (original musician for floating point) and can be verified via a google search.

Switchee seems to have released "Famous (feat. Uncle Outrage)" back in July 20, 2020. It is currently listed as "Famouz" by Richee. There seems to be a discrepancy; I had a version on a computer at one point credited only to Uncle Outrage.

[E] Ding Dong Song [Light]/[Standard] should be changed to [E] Ding Dong Song / v2, since they are different step authors, Light being Dossar, Standard being Bmah.

I don't see a problem with this. They're two songs of clearly different difficulties. Differences aren't distinguished by the stepauthor.

Recent charts are getting v tags regardless of difficulty (e.g. Altale v2, Rationalist v2, and res extensa v2). I'm not sure if that was the originally intended policy. I'm very in favor of difficulty tags.

I tried to change difficulty tags to be like this, and the community revolted and wanted version tags instead to denote stepauthor in order of release, so that's the way majority of songs are set up to do atm. Under the current setup, there should be a "Ding Dong Song" and "Ding Dong Song v2". Essentially Difficulty tags are currently reserved for 2 released charts submitted by the same Stepauthor.

Then make a convincing argument for why the above should be changed.

also changed to explicit unless a ruckus is made about it. Better safe than sorry, [E] doesn't hurt anyone.

[jh05013]

Some full versions:
Szerencsetlen v1, v2 -> [Cut], [Full Version]
44 Edit v1, v2 -> [Cut], [Full Version]
If You Can't Hang v1, v2 -> [Cut], [Full Version]
Epidermis v1, v2, v3 -> [Cut] v1, [Full Version], [Cut] v2
Cruel Whole (Abelcain Remix) v1, v2, v3 -> [Full Version], [Part 1], [Part 2]
Cold Heart v1, v2 -> [Cut], [Full Version]

Arguable, since the longest version still has the relatively silent last half minute or so cut out:
Nomina Nuda Tenemus [Heavy], [Oni] -> [Cut], [Full Version]
Reluctantly Accepting Temporary Overexhaustion v1, v2, v3 -> [Oni], [Full Version], [Light]

On the recent Escucha song release there's a small capitalization error for the musician aka the following change should happen:
Ruby my Dear > Ruby My Dear

Hahah I just checked and Deamer did point it out in the judges notes:
> *Metadata mostly good. Artist metadata should be Ruby My Dear (capitalize the M)

Laylers pls

Song titles
Gonna ... Kylie -> Kylie <3 (or closest approximation if the < character is unusable) (Source)
Champion Freeverse -> Champion (Freeverse) (this may be too pedantic lol)
Cold Heart -> Cold Heart Remix
Cold Heart v2 -> Cold Heart Remix v2

Famouz -> Famous
Additionally: The artist name on this song should be changed to Uncle Outrage & Switchee (Source on Uncle Outrage YT)

I also got confirmation from Velocity that FFR supports song titles up to 200 characters, so these can happen. (Source):
Thinking -> Please Don't Stand Behind Me And Make Those Stupid Noises With Your Mouth That You Seem To Think Indicate To Me That You Are Thinking
Ripoff -> I've Really Lost It Because This Shit Is Starting To Sound Like A Washed-Up, Half-Assed Fatboy Slim Ripoff With A Twelve Year Old's Sense Of Humor

Family Farce songs use various aliases in the Stepmania version:
- Donkey Punch uses the alias Rampage Superstars
- zZz uses ASSIMILATION Retunes
- !(Z)x(Z)! uses Sidewinder, and the X is lowercase (though the banner seems to suggest otherwise...)
- TSUSURVIVORGAMUSH does use Family Farce, but it's fully uppercase. The title in the file was fixed while in batch, but the submission itself wasn't, leading to the error.

The Bandcamp entries do say Family Farce, though most of the Stepmania version came before Bandcamp.

Instead of triple-posting, I'll just keep editing this post

The author of ZENITHALIZE is Anegasaki Nene(姉ヶ崎 寧々), not Nei. 々 means "repeat the previous letter." Link to BMS
The author of Unicron Barbeque is broken in-game because of Ä.
A c i - L needs a space between each character (just like G e n g a o z o), and the author uses the alias 裏吉川 (Ura Yoshikawa).
BBBLOW should be uppercase. The only official source I know that uses lowercase is the BGA, which I think shouldn't supersede other sources.
+++Chaos Time the DARK+++ should have 3 crosses at each side. (Original title is †††カオスタイム the DARK†††)
I don't see any source of LWVIIX having the subtitle "Lawn Wake 69". The last part of the BGA does say "Lawn Wake VI IX," but I don't think that's significant enough to put in the title.
The author of The Impresario is Jake Kaufman & Tommy Pedrini instead of his alias Virt.

We back

For GENERAL SERUM, I believe "A64" normally goes by Abstract 64 and I'm having trouble figuring out where A64 came from as everything I find credits him as Abstract 64. Even on his upload of it.

These songs need genre changed from Dance to Dance 2

11th dimension
Symbols
Sweet and Fruitful
Lolitonic
Robinet
Akazu
endleSSStation (Frums Shuuden Bootleg)
Crystal Chamber Combustion v2
STRONG 280
Cortex Charger

Dance 2 is currently over twice the size of Dance. Maybe the boundary between them should change? Or Dance 3 in the near future? Or Misc 2? Or "who even uses genres anymore?"

[storn42]

Heroes Should probably get a "feat. Michael Kiske" thrown somewhere in there cus appearently he does guest vocals on that track.

[CocoaPuff3100]

Hi, I'm not sure how often this thread gets checked, but I'd like to +1 Tru's suggestion on changing "Gonna R*pe Kylie" to "Kylie <3" or just "Kylie" if the < character is unsupported. Like they said, it's based on the most recent official release from Annoying Ringtone. https://annoyingringtone.bandcamp.com/track/kylie-3

I think it's a good song and chart but the name might make people skip over it, and it's also a little awkward to see it randomly in places like the Recently Played widget on the homepage. Plus I think it's reasonable to assume that the artist would prefer it to be changed.

Thank you.
