I also think that note counting of common music theory is more comfortable but that's just habit. There really speaks nothing against osu's counting.
You're right that you don't need the divisor but that doesn't make osu's counting bad just because it's different. You can't argue it's bad. Counting time is completely arbitrary. You could say that the whole world uses a different system to count time but seeing the first few points in this thread shows that most people assume that one's posts refer to the osu counting system.Infevo wrote:
When I search for a beatmap with streams of a certain speed I can easily find some simply by checking the bpm within the map's page. Can you believe it? I don't need the divisor to make sure I find the right map for my needs. Can't be too much different then from my idea, can it? Regardless of the particular snap divisor in use for mapping that song I am still 100% sure I get what I want. How? Applying simple music theory.
The beat divisor does make sense by the way. 1/2 and 1/1 notes (talking in general music theory terms) are not very frequent in osu and counting bars with 4 1/4 notes is unnecessary too as recurring motives don't play as much of a role in beatmap crafting as they do in "real" beats of songs.
