As the usage of extended sliders become more and more common throughout mapping in standard, it quickly becomes apparent that a major time-consumer while hitsounding is silencing slider ends.
By definition, extended sliders are sliders that emulate a sort of mania-style "long note", where the note is held until the next clickable beat. Usually, this means that the sliders are 3/4 or 5/4 of a beat, but some may be longer, extending for full measures or more, and some are even 1/2 with the next slider starting on a blue tick.
The reason these should be "silenced" (setting a timing point on the end to 5% volume) is because of the extra hitsound that the extended slider end will cause, indicating a beat that isn't really there. Therefore, as mentioned before, the mapper must set a timing point to 5% volume on the slider end and another one with the original volume on the next hitobject.
That's a lot of ctrl+shift+P's
With this program, the hardest part is finding your .osu file within your songs folder. The rest is just knowing what kind of song you're mapping and clicking a few times.
