ATTN: Scoring System Needed

[stargroup]

As you may or may not know, I am currently heading a super secret theme project which will essentially be a complete redesign of StepMania for keyboard play.

Anyways, right to the point.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with the scoring system that StepMania uses. That is, the DP system and the machine score. Obviously, because of the DP system, AA's are waaay too common compared to A's and AAA's. AAAA's are pretty elusive as well. As you can see, there is a problem with the balance issue. Machine scoring is similar too. We need a balanced system. We don't need all those digits and machine score is almost completely dependent on MA if the CBs are even remotely similar.

If any of you play Pop'n, IIDX, or Technika, I'm looking for a scoring system similar to theirs, but fits StepMania's purposes.

I don't want just random numbers. If you're gonna suggest something, make sure you have good reasoning or solid mathematics to show why your system would be suitable. I am willing to provide any information that I have currently.
