After reading the first post. Would you like scorehero to add a derived higher difficulty rating for 6-stars?

Absolutely. This is an excellent idea.

69%

[ 114 ]

Maybe.

14%

[ 23 ]

No. Just stick with the game's ratings.

15%

So realistically, anything under 3 stars doesn't make sense without going outside the boundaries of the game's rules. THere isn't even such a thing as a 3* cutoff.

I think you're looking at the calculations from a different perspective. You're calculating each cutoff relative to another cutoff. If you ignore other cutoffs and those fractional relationships, and calculate each one only depending on the base_score for the song. Then it's simply:

4-star cutoff = 2 * base_score
5-star cutoff = 3 * base_score

So, it is easily possible to define:

3-star cutoff = 1 * base_score
6-star cutoff = 4 * base_score

which allows for 2-star and 6-star ratings. If we add 7-star cutoff=5*base_score to the scheme then 7-stars would also be possible (at least for some songs).

But none of these derived cutoffs (even 3-stars) goes outside of the game's linear progression ratings system.

don't know if anyone has already said this, but about 6* scores, take a song with a proven 4* cutoff, double that, and that's your 6* cutoff. _________________

Even if we already know that, it's still nice to have photo proof, just in case.

The same can be said about taking 4/3 of the 5* cutoff. But as krim said, it's still nice to prove both cutoffs.

Oops, 2* would be anything between 0 and (base_score-1), yes? I was looking at it backwards.

Correct.
