sometimes people get confused with the keys for changing bmp and gap .. happens to me too.
and concerning the ~~~ .. they come into being when you part notes with strg + -. you can edit them directly via F4 - it lets you enter text edit mode.
SsX Can you not edit my files please? There"s too many ~~~~~~ after "happy rythm music" and it"s annoying, plus when I try to edit it now in UltraStarEditor, the BPM is messed up and I can"t edit it. Thanks
ChrissyLeggs: You can use the UltraStar Manager to recalculate the timestamp automatically. Just activate "Set first timestamp to zero".
Another thing to mention about your txt is the syllable division. Words with more than one syllable should be divided, e.g. really, wanna, along, rhythm, ...
This will help you a lot if you want to do a more accurate finetuning.
Speaking of finetuning it can also be helpful to calculate the exact BPM from the original mp3, especially when you are working on dance tracks, which usually have a very linear bass drum. There are several tools out there, which have this function included. BPM Analyzer is just one of them.
To recalculate an existing txt you can use the built-in editor of USDX (hit F5).
One last thing: You don’t need several accounts to rate your txts 5 star. If you stay tuned and try all the advices given here, your txts will become very good and people will rate it 5 star anyway
b4St1@fuN I"m sorry I don"t get what you mean, I"m afraid to touch the txt file incase I mess it up lol, you"re more than welcome to edit it though if you want
