84K away from the top, egads good job #1

Once again from the chart it doesn't look like you can use all the sp, so which do you sacrifice?

Here's my proposed path, critiques welcome

1 - after 2, act. @ 3rd sp so you don't get the 3rd sp. Don't want the 3/4 meter as that would wip out 4th and big points after 5th. With me so far? Also cant bring 3/4 or full meter after 5th 'cause it wipes out 6th etc. This is actually where I don't kow if my strategy is sound. pun intended.
2 - after 2 sp (4th and 5th), use it
3 - after 3 sp, use immediately
4 - after 2, wait 1 measure (should be about meas. 62)
5 - after 2 sp, use at start of YB chords
6 - after 2, use it
7. after final 2 use immediately

any suggestions?

Edit - the 2-2-2-2 etc path is about 38 more notes than this "what was I thinking path"

My current path is much simpler than the above path --- mine is just 2-2-2-2-2 etc... all the way through. I don't think it's worth skipping over to get those extra notes after SP 5. With one minor exception, you even activate each one on the very next note.

If only the execution were as simple as the path is...

is the total amount of hit notes or the score that determines you having a 4 or 5 star award?

Overall score, hence why the SP path can be so crucial. With a decent SP path, you can get, say, 93% of notes and get a 5*. With a poor SP path, that might only net you a 4*. Of course, it depends on the song, but...

Yeah, overall score determines it. Have a look under the 'Song Stats' Page for further info, including the (almost) exact cutoffs.
