Subject: Re: Missed Notes


And you know what? Not to sound rude, but I'm getting tired of people saying
that there IS a bug without doing tests about it. Everyone here who has sat
down and started a variety of songs and counted missed notes seems to have
normal failure rates, yet you're accusing everyone of "black helicopter crap".

I tested last night with my level 30 song, which I had never even played before
(I just levelled), and I missed 6 notes in 60 tries. That's a reasonable fizzle
rate, in my opinion. With Bellow, I missed one note in 60. With Hymn, I missed
3 in 60. After that, I grew weary of counting. :)

If your test was Denon's Discord, I think I know what the problem might be...
perhaps there IS a bug in that it's checking the instrument skill regardless of
whether you're singing or playing an instrument. If you're like me, your brass
skill is one of the only ones not maxed out, and denon's discord uses brass.
