Instead of the arrow icon on the sliders being always the same, make it so that if the slider goes back and and forth more than once the icon on the slider changes accordingly to how many times it is going to happen/make it just indicate that the slider will go back again.

This way in case you're dealing with very fast sliders you will know how many times they repeat just by looking at one of their ends (basically just makes it easier to see what the slider is going to be like).

Good, but for some of the fast repeaters, like Big Black's 360 1/4 with 20-30 reverses this is hard to do ;-;
Really like it, and makes multiple reverses more rankable

I really like this idea. Too bad I don't have any votes. ;w;

Maybe instead of showing a number, it would be better to just use the "two sliders" Icon as many times as needed, then such repeat sliders like the ones within big black wouldnt be a problem.

This idea has my support!

i'd rather just have a separate skin element for this. like instead of just a black arrow, it would be replaced with like some other color or effect to make it clear that it's different. I personally think the two arrows look weird.

If it can be disabled or if it can be a skin element, like winber1 said, I guess it's okay. But I have to agree with winber1. Two arrows on a same circle look weird. The arrow means that you have to return. And there's an arrow on head, and signifies the same thing.

I think that if this gets implemented it would be a seperate skin element of it's own for sure so you could disable it by putting a transparent blank on it.

If you play a really fast paced song for the first time where you dont expect a multiple repeat you approach the situation differently, your mindset will change completely if you can tell that the slider will have multiple returns before it actually has the first repeat, and therefore would be very useful on first playthroughs of a song

I never thought about those sliders.

Very support!

I love trying to play songs without having to memorise them, and back-and-forth sliders like this trips me up quite often. Would be great if Osu! didn't require as much memorisation.

I like the concept, and the creativity of this. But if the sliders are very fast, how are you going to read the numbers on the reverse arrow? On maps like The Big Black, all this will do is confuse people and make it unreadable.

Would do with just a dot or something in order to know that the back-and-forth slider won't end at the first cycle. I don't need to know that it goes 5 times back and forth, I just need to know that I need to stay on it for a while.
