3's & 7's optimal FC path

Barbaloot:

Although that's pretty much the same path I use, your calculation of the score (it reads ~323k at the end) is quite a bit off. My score with plenty of misses is almost 370k and the top scores reach just over 400k. I only point out the mistake because I'm curious to know what an optimal score might be, assuming that your path is actually optimal.

EDIT: Scratch that, looks like several of your paths have the same problem, so I'm assuming it's a problem with your program/calculator or a problem with the way you enter information into them. Disregard.

Of course the score calculations are going to be off. I took debr's blank charts and drew the activations on them using MS Paint. I'm not using any sort of program.

The 323K should be what you would have if you never used SP at all throughout the song.

Any alternative for the second activation?

Um, you could just delay the activation to the second GYB chord and have it last until the GRY chord, for one less note, if that's what you mean.

ummm... I activated 2-3-2-3 activating at the 2nd

of 76 after 2 and then the a note earlier than you after 3. It got me 800 less than 1st, and missed at least 1000 in squeezes. Is your path really optimal?

okay. I added them up and your pair of activations gives approximately 167 3/4 notes (rounding ticks), while mine gives only 166 notes, so your's is better, although not by much. I need to re-FC this (and beat smoky lol).

Beautiful path. Just increased my score from 375k on my last FC to 401,500 on this FC. Props to Barbaloot.
