So as the music plays in the beatmap editor, you can actually place circles and sliders as the music plays. Cool!
But the suggestion is: it might be easier to map when you just press the "x" and "y" keys and then circles and sliders just appear on the map.
Given you have a tablet and a stylus, you could just "air play" as you write the circles and sliders on the map.
This is also dependent on the time divisions (the measure is divided by 2 or 4 or even 3 or 6). Let's say you have each beat divided by 4 which is 4/4 time signature in musical terms. When you press either "x" or "y", there is a duration of the pressing of keys in milliseconds, right? So even pressing for a circle would have a duration which means it'll turn into a slider. But to fix this, it has something to do with thresholds. If the milliseconds is too short enough, it would generate a circle. If it is long enough, it'll generate a slider.
To make things simpler, we should base this in the time signature or time divisions. For a 4/4 time signature, when you press either "x" or "y" from the beginning of the measure and it reaches to 1/4 of the measure, it must create a slider. But when it didn't reach the 1/4 of the measure, it must be a circle. Same applies for 3/4 signatures. When pressing of "x" or "y" encompasses 1/3 of the meeasure, it must generate a slider. If the duration didn't make it at least 1/3, it must generate a circle.
Of course! Let's not forget to snap the circles and sliders on the perfectly divided time divisions!
It's also nice to have the option where the notes could be applied on the map without being snapped on time. Here's why this is useful. Because some music have irregular beats and sometimes they change tempo. By applying notes out side the perfectly timed divisions, this could help mappers pinpoint the change of tempo in the song.
Antoher crazy idea is: what if there's a feature where the system automatically creates a new time signature depending on how you often press the keys?
That's all the time I have, thanks for reading!
