First thing i need to ask is is there a way to make the notes scroll up, instead of down? as far as i am aware this is not possible.
concerning speed, there are 3 possible ways scroll speed could be implemented, i personally believe a/h mod is the best way.
x-mod: Multiplicative mod: The way it currently is, the scroll speed is your speed setting multiplied by the bpm of the song. If the song bpm changes, the scroll speed changed accordingly. Most preferred by dance pad players.
c-mod: Constant mod: your scroll speed is constant to what you set it at, regardless of the bpm of the song or any bpm changes. the most preferred method for most step-mania players.
a/h mod: Alternate/Hybrid mod: A Hybrid between x-mod and c-mod, your scroll speed is constant regardless of the bpm of the song, like c-mod but if the bpm changes, then the song multiplies your scroll speed by the bpm change accordingly, like x-mod.
The bpm that will be constant with your set scroll speed is the bpm that lasts the longest in the song.
eg. 2mins at 100bpm then 1min at 200 bpm your scroll speed would double from your constant speed. it makes for a very interesting system, while not having to learn all different scroll speeds like x-mod. i first saw this on thirdstyle.com and i'm not sure if it's used in any other game to date.
