Can't You Hear Me Knockin'

It's due to an approximation I make on the sustains that are only partially covered under an SP activation. I use a simple ratio:

score = <total note sustain score> * <duration of activation> / <length of note>

which is not exactly "tick" aware. Make sense?

As far as optimal, I don't even have the squeezes dialed up as aggressively as they could go (I'm missing JCirri's squeeze on the 1st activation for Surrender, for example), and I certainly don't have fully accurate tick accounting. However, the SPs don't seem to suffer too much from the latter issue.

Yes that does make sense. Great job with the program.

It's the same as debr's optimum path. On the second to last activation I waited 2 notes later (first blue note) but it doesn't really matter because there's no way you're getting hold pts out of the red. But I guess it doesn't hurt to try.
