Hey folks, calm down, I have enough blame for everyone! :P
So, who would like what paragraph in which section? I think there seems to be some disagreement on what belongs in the Usage and Report sections.
My personal understand was that Usage is the bad print-out plastered to the Item handed to the unwitting office clerk when shit just hit the fan, with the Report being the somewhat more complete info for operatives that don't have to interact with it on a moments notice (for example when retrieving it), but I can see how other people would structure their documents differently.
Though way to big of a topic for this forum, I want to mention this is just one of a myriad reasons[long-ish video] the Galactic Empire failed.
Also, I forgot to answer your last point yesterday, Meta, re:Could we make the dance as effective as we like by making music and dance ourselves?
Yes! And I think this is actively done, but not in the way you may think. Most of these games work by identifying a main beat/rhythm in the music (I guess with fourier-transforms or other signal processing magic) or perhaps a few distinct Bass/Vocal/whatever lines and then base all gameplay around this base beat.
In theory, there is no difference to the machine between an actual song and a monotonous tone beeping at the same rhythm. But since that is highly irritating to the performers, I guess the CI sticks to normal music.
But you will probably use extended/long play versions and might want to clean up your tracks, because certain songs really screw with the algorithms (my experience was especially bad with a chip-tune song, which the software insisted had the BPM of a lullaby, and a metal track which got very unreasonable during fast timbales), so "smoothing" them for the game's algorithm might work wonders.
