the new scoring system

yea so with the new score system i just want to clear up a few things
(please tell me if i'm right/wrong)
1. you now get points on how much of a phrase you hit (much like GHWT)

2. the above now also applies for SP (you can get more then a quarter bar by hitting a long phrase)

3. in some phrases you can get more than the base score for previous games (eg. in the last 'woah's in kryptonite i seem to get around 6000 points per phrase without SP)

any and all help would be appriciated as i still haven't gotten my head around this engine

You do get more SP by hitting more of that phrase. Never enough for an activation, though.

Just a few clarifications:

- You gain anywhere from 1/4 (minimum) to 1/3 (maximum) of a SP bar for completing a SP phrase. The better you do on the progress meter, the more extra SP you get. 3 really good phrases will give you a full bar if you're pitch perfect at all times.

- I'm "pretty sure" the score for each phrase is based on the number of ticks in the pitchlines. The more time is covered by the pitch lines, the more points the phrase is potentially worth.

- Note that you only get the SP double score bonus for any phrase in which SP is active at the time you complete the last word in the phrase. Activating at the end of a phrase on the last word is good - just bear in mind that any "left over" SP that trails into another phrase (but doesn't reach the end of the phrase) gives you exactly 0 extra points. This minimizes the importance of exactly timing your SP activations, and instead emphasizes pitch accuracy.

are you sure about that last one i thought they fixed that

it might be different from version to version like how the PS2 has a base score unlike all the other versions
