theres more than 27 points left i guarantee it. no offense but your program can't account for squeezing hold ticks

I never claimed these were truly optimal...

you're right about the squeezing. I both miss some hold ticks and I miss some bonafide note squeezes as well (e.g. expert surrender, among others). The program is very much still a work in progress. I do think the results are still quite usable, so that is why I started to populate the forums with them.

This is going to be a bit tough for me because I have a regular guitar with a broken whammy bar and a 3rd party terribleo ne with a whammy that i switch off with, Are you sure the green outline in the charts where star power should be activated? Or am i looking at it wrong.

Theres always a part when I miss and its i the solo.I don't whammy very much cuz Then when the other notes come at me I have the whammy in my way and miss.The 3rd activation after the solo is tough to get cuz I have to whammy very quickly.I only made it to 317k cuz at the last activation my SP ends early.Maybe I activate it to early
