All songs are Double play charts, using Random key modifier, and have a rating of at least 12. Songs in the courses are selected at random. For most songs which have multiple 12 ratings, I modify it so that the highest type of chart (Black or Another) is the only 12; that way I play the hardest version of the song and ensure I don't play it twice in the same course.

Courses are played with the 100% Gauge. Yes, this is glorified practice.

Scores are given as: EX; J Great, Great, Good, Bad, Poor, Max Combo, Letter Rating

Back to work tomorrow, so earlier start today.

artelia method, quasar, snow storm, Raison d'être~交差する宿命~, 灼熱Beach Side Bunny

Interestingly spaced course. Artelia Method is a d&b techno which isn't too bad for most of the chart, but the end has you doing a lot of scratching to squeak out the melody on one hand (with chords) while the other hits the syncopated percussion. Not very easy. Came into quasar at 61% and out at 55% B. I held the border for most of the rest it seems. Snow Storm went a bit better at the first half, perhaps. Nothing special for Raison. I think I got some parts better on Bunny. Just need to play it a lot more.

nemesis, calls, ALL MY TURN-このターンに、オレの全てを賭ける-, betelgeuse, nu known

9822; 3555 2715 893 286 820 Combo 292 A -713

Came out of nemesis at a flat 50%, and got it to 62% by the end of the course. Maybe I had a few nicer hits with the song, and not as bad scratch chords in the first half, but it's too difficult to really tell. Had a very friendly roll with calls, where a lot of the left hand scale running at the end was mostly all on white keys in proper chromatic order. Finally felt better with all my turn, even if sloppy. Still can't handle random double scale sets with betlegeuse. Nu Known is mostly a creampuff and has the 12* just for the ending - something like gigadelic. Pretty happy with the end score here.

lower world, 旧地獄街道を行く ~反逆のパルスィ~ ["down the road to old hell ~ palsy's counterattack"], inazuma, コウソク*コンプライアンス, calls

Came out of lower world at a 70% A with the last 70 notes comboed, so it's good to know I can still reasonably play the song well. Not as neat in the first half as I'd like though. There's the A-typical double scale trap at the end of Palsy and then some rolls to muff ("anmitsu"), so I usually don't come out so hot at it. Did OK with inazuma and konsoku. Tired of calls, but I knew it was the last song so I didn't bother to abort. Had an A through a good portion of the set.

jelly kiss -midihead smack mix-, the deep striker, vox up, 物怪舞踏 ["mononoke butou" ("spirit dance")], innocent walls

For JK I had to invert my left hand up and do the main melody note roll, because it was 232323 with the end note on 6 - my brain couldn't figure out how to do it otherwise. Deep Striker went right into Vox Up and I didn't have a particularly good play with either. For Spirit Dance I had a better time of it, and I keep anticipating the song to be worse than it really is. When IW hit I had to let out a laugh, because it's usually murder with a bad roll but I was able to get a fair amount of the song down. Man, that's only four now?

First song was Konsoku Compliance. No. Next.

canon (blazing summer mix), solid state squad, the lost dedicated, dimension block, ミラージュ･レジデンス

Something about the way this game plays where if you start bad you can't climb out and if you start good it's difficult to fall down. I came out of canon at a 77% A and kept it to a 71% after SSS. Lost Dedicated is mostly chords and it felt like I flailed most of it but by the end I found a consistent rhythm to attack and kept at it. Wasn't until Dimension Block that I finally fell to the B. Almost came back with that horseshit Mirage Resonance song. I can get most of the chart OK and it's only the ending that gets really hectic but god is that song just fucking terrible.

I'm mostly done. Just for shits, I'm going to try to put it on Extra mode and restrict BPM range, and open up the song roster.

.. nah. Doesn't work the same way. Well, that somewhat sucks but oh well.
