Merging some guidelines from standard mode, last time it somewhat died since there was too many vague guidelines and standard's RC was changed during the proposal.
This time additions are being kept simple and sticking to more important things.
This will remain up for discussion for a week, so until July 13

Rule Additions
  1. Do not use keysounds without hitnormal support. If sounds blend perfectly with the song, feedback for hitting notes is minimal.
Guideline Additions
  1. Sliderends of extended sliders should be snapped according to the song's beat structure. If the song is using a straight beat, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 should be used. If the song is using a swing beat, 1/6 or 1/12 should be used. If the song has a sound in a different snap from what was recommended, snapping to an actual beat always takes priority.
  2. Slider tick rate should be set according to the song. For example if your song uses 1/3 snapping only, using tick rate 2 or 4 would not be fitting.
  3. Avoid using combo colours with ~50 luminosity or lower. Dark colours like these impact readability of fruits with low background dim.
  4. Avoid using combo colours with ~220 luminosity or higher. They create bright pulses during kiai time which can be unpleasant to the eyes.

I agree on the guidelines, but what is the point of the rule addition?

If the keysounds are set to be identical to the music, they blend in too much and the player won't hear the hitsound unless there's also a hitnormal
It just means that keysounds should be used on the hitwhistle rather than the hitnormal.

leaving it open-ended in case tick rate 1.5 is approved, tick rate 3 is also an option at low bpm
