Notes
This action is disabled for regular
oszbeatmaps. ↑This action sometimes ignores changes made in the
Designtab. ↑The stacking behaviour is controlled by the stack leniency setting of the difficulty. ↑
osu!, osu!taiko, and osu!catch use the osu!taiko key bindings. ↑
Useful if the BPM or slider velocity has been changed. ↑
This action does not work anymore. ↑
