Hi,

I understand that -x in comments means that they missed x notes for 100%, but what does +x mean? (it seems to be a good thing).

No, it's a bad thing. Number of overstrums.

Ah ok, thanks!

I was confused by "+4 woohoo" and "+36, Whooparidoo!!" comments

But wow, 36 overstrums and still 100%?

Ahhh... in that case, it's number of points increased (over their previous best, or more often, for a first place score, over the previous first). Hold ticks at 4x are worth 4 points, so hanging on to a hold can eek out 4 points at a time here or there on songs that have been played nearly optimally. +36 would be 9 such extra ticks, which would be quite an achievement.

i remember reading somewhere that -(number) might also mean the number points they are away from an optimal score, if that's any help.
