How about a simpler wording like this?
Slider speed changes should have corresponding cues. These cues may include changes in the music, changes in note density, or visible slider ticks.
Support, though I wish we could just say "Don't be retarded" and be done with it D:
Just remember that this is the osu! community.
I second Garven's statement about what a "change in the music" actually is. There should be something
visual to indicate the change. If you're not sure that the visual cues are obvious enough and that the speed change can't be followed on the fly, then
don't use it. Yes, it's that simple and yes, you mappers should discard a feature if it isn't proven to work, instead of becoming attached to them in the name of artistic vision.
Beatmaps are made to translate the abstract (the music) into the literal (a game level which can be read and felt). This applies to every aspect of a beatmap's visuals.
