Let me write an example:

There are some songs that are 5k or 7k.
I can play 4k & 6k but I cannot play 5k & 7k.
I don't want to turn all songs to 4k or 6k(using main, modification menu) but only those songs that are 5k or 7k.

The idea is to put "options" to each songs, so I can play one song in 6k(or in other mode) while the rest stay the same(6k, 7k).

I don't see much point in this request. If you want to get better, you should practice.

Lets just see what others has to say.

Actually not a pointless request.
It's even possible to transform a 7k into 5k, 6k.

However the main problem is, the score multiplier is hard to set.
To set a fixed multiplier may be something unfair to players who play the original map.

For example, a 7k map consists such patterns:
(1)
o------
------o
o-o----
----o-o
o------
------o
(2)
-o-----
--o----
---o---
----o--
-----o-
------o
where every line is a 1/4 note length gap.
It's clear that without the column on the left most and the right most (which is usually wiped out when 7key is converted to 5k), the difficulty changed dramatically in the first case, but nearly nothing is changed in the second case.

When a fixed multiplier is not a good idea, what about a variable one?
When everyone has their own skill biased, some people can play a certain pattern well but others just can't. Based on this, a variable multiplier discussion activity would easily turn out to be a fighting on who is the best player.

I believe this may need further discussion.

In my opinion, changing number of columns should put you into unranked mode.

Being able to play 4K and get a ranked score on something that is meant to be played on 7K will result in a huge and unfair advantage to inexperienced players.

The 4k skill of someone who is good at 7k should be close to the 4k skill of someone who plays only 4k
But on the other hand, on 7k, someone who only play 4k can't compete with someone who actually plays both modes.

So multiplier suggestion is a no for me.

But being able to play mania charts on any number of columns you want would be nice I guess.

@Fr33z3R, so let me know what's wrong with it.
@xxbidiao, @Akihiro I don't want to change amount of points you get playing in 4k/5k/6k/7k/8k modifier. Score penalty & "being able to play mania charts on any numbers of columns you want" is already implemented. See link/table here: http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/4K#4K.2F5K.2F6K.2F7K.2F8K

I don't want to go here:

to change number of keys ( http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/4K#4K.2F5K.2F6K.2F7K.2F8K )used by song every time song use number of keys that I don't like.

I suggest putting in song's menu( http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/File:Soloplay9.jpeg ) new options: "number of keys used" so we don't have to change it in modifier menu( http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/images/thumb/0/0 ... oplay8.png ).
Doing this lets user do something like this:
Song1 -> set keys to 4k
Song2 -> set keys to 6k
Song3 -> set keys to 4k
...
Song42 -> set keys to 4k

This way, once set, we can enjoy songs in number of keys we want not changing any options.
