Fairer take checks with a distorted guitar
The take check no longer hears a ringing distorted chord as dozens of extra notes, and extra notes can't drag a well-played take down to zero any more.
A distorted chord you let ring doesn't sound steady: it beats and swells several times a second. The take check heard each swell as a new note, so a take of a sludgy riff with long held chords could come back with more than a thousand extra notes and a score of 0, even with nearly every written note right.
What changed
- Where a held chord is ringing, a sound only counts as an extra note if it's about as strong as a pick. A note you really play on top of the chord still counts. Elsewhere nothing changes.
- Extra notes now cost a measure at most half a point for each note the measure asks for. However many there are, they can take at most half off your score, so the notes you played right still show.
Takes you check from now on use the new rules. A take you checked before keeps its old score.
