Its very frustrating that when you are mapping some easier difficulties that you constantly have to click test, or press esc to song select to see the star difficulty, because its very hard to tell how many 1/2 notes or something like that you can have in a row without the difficulty jumping up. It just makes people want to use the copy paste feature, because they dont want go away from the editing mode to check the difficulty every time they try a new pattern. I know it takes only one or two seconds to check it, but many times i find my self checking it like every 5 seconds, especially when i try to fix a pattern that is too hard. And if you do the mistake that you map a difficulty from start to finish without checking and then find out that its too hard to fit the current ranking criteria, oh boy you are in shit now. Have fun going trough the map looking for the one spot or multiple spots, not like you know, of too hard pattern. Make a change, check, no difference, repeat and repeat and repeat.
There is a ton of empty in the editor mode so the number could be placed easily there. Bonus points if there is some kind of arrow/color indicator that activates if your, lets say, last 5 changes to the map have increased or decreased the difficulty rating.
