Hello guys, anybody can explain me what the difference between handstream, quadstream, jackstream, and jumpstream is, and also please give the sample maps of it. Thanks before :)

So basically a jumpstream is a stream that includes jumps(2 note chords), handstream includes hands(3 note chords), quadstreams include 4 note chords. as for jackstreams you have jacks integrated in the streams as the name sugests. More terminology too help you out. As for the maps, none that fit every category perfectly come to mind, I hope someone else with a little more map expertise will help you out in this regard

Jackstream isn't really a term used in VSRGs by the way - mainly because of how ambiguous the term is. It generally means either a stream chart with lots of minijacks (two consecutive notes in the same column) or just quadstream in general. There aren't many charts with there's both jumpstream and longer jacks, mainly because longer jacks at a speed that JS is present is usually significantly harder than the jumpstream itself.

These are examples of charts with streams with minijacks in them:

The other definition for jackstream (charts that have continuous notes that contain jacks in them) is in a separate category on its own, and they call those charts jack charts.
This is a general jacking chart: https://osu.ppy.sh/s/373379

You'll also notice that you'll have difficulties grouping charts into jumpstream or handstream because there aren't many handstream charts that have jumpstream present and the other way round. Examples of that would be something like Mmmmmm (the chart Evening linked above), where there are both handstream and dense jumpstream sections. Strictly speaking, you can't really classify them as either because the handstream contributes a good amount of difficulty to the chart, but so does the dense jumpstream. So try to not worry about any classification, just know what you have issues with and find charts that have these types of patterning.

Wow nice resources, I was looking where I can find what those terms mean. Are there more directories for patterns (other than Drace's thread)?

Interesting to see that what you guys call bursts in FFR(/SM?) are what are usually called grace notes here as far as 7K goes, with bursts generally being huge loads of notes in a short amount of time, with generally even tighter snaps as I understand it.

this?

Well judging from the .gif and the actual definition it sounds like they are describing different patterns.

What I had in mind
Burst
Grace (or what seems to be displayed in the ffr wiki .gif for "burst")

Actually you are right, burst are exactly that thing, the exaple of ther ffr wikia is someting like a ¿mini burst?

While Grace notes are something like 2 consecutive notes in 1/16 1/32 or even /1 64 (this last 2 are not posible to do in the osu!mania editor)

Grace notes is a term that comes from music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_note

When grace notes are replicated in a chart they usually result in short bursts, often in the form of stairs.

A good example of grace notes would be this bms chart for Grand Thaw - Flesvelka



The way I look at is that grace notes should refer to specific musical instances where short bursts are used.

The term burst is a generic word meaning any section of a chart with many notes at a higher snap than the surrounding sections.
