Do you plan to post your estimates for all skill levels Riff?

I've updated the expert level estimates. Nearly all of the estimates match the current proven 4-star and 5-star cutoffs. Bark at the Moon is off by a whopping 2 points. One or two other songs are off by less than 20. The problem child of this game remains Texas Flood. The estimated base score is off by more than 50. The midi file also contains chords where each note starts at a slightly different time delta. I adjusted my processing to take care of the chord issues but I suspect there may be other similar traps that will cause the sustained note point calculations to be incorrect.

You may notice that the post contains actual sustain points and contributing sustain points. The method used in-game to award sustain points is different from the method used to calculate the number of sustain points that contribute to the base score for the cutoff rating. The game will award sustain points rounding to the nearest integer but the cutoff calculations require the truncated calculation (round to zero).

Why not post them for all difficulties? I was recently trying to narrow it down a bit on Easy by cutting alot of the higher numbers in half, but if you have numbers with a bit less of error which they seem to I would like to try to hit them on the lower difficulties.
