Folks, there's no need to get nasty about this. Obviously
some of you aren't going to believe those of us who are (were)
having this problem. Unfortunately at this point, there's no
real way to prove it (unless someone in one of these funks can
provide data).

Well, the problem here is that nobody counted missed notes
before that fateful patch. I don't think Chris is complaining
of the same problem I originally was (an extraordinarily large
number of missed notes). He's claiming he's missing notes on
songs where he'd almost never missed notes before.

I'd tend to agree with him - subjectively I'd say I'm still
failing to start up easy songs Hymn and Accelerando more than
before. I do find it odd that people are reporting about a 5%
failure rate for these songs, as before that patch I would've
estimated it closer to 0%-2%. But without pre-patch data,
we'll never know for sure. Anyhow, 5% is tolerable.
