Visually link two slash marks together

In more challenging songs, more slash marks are present. It is difficult at times to determine which of these slashes are done together, or one after the other. My suggestion is to add a visual line connecting both left and right slash marks to be hit at the same time with a line connecting through the center point. Think of it like clock hands, where the clock hands connect the slash marks. You will see the lines approaching and will prompt you to get ready to use both hands at the same time. Lines would probably be a partially transparent glowing yellow, or maybe lighter shade of blue and orange.

    I've been thinking the same-- DDR would use different colors for quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes, which would help with this issue if the arrows themselves looked different in some way (while still indicating left or right hand).

      Snakins I don't think this would work well with how Starri is set up currently. The orange and blue coloring are set to make sure you use the correct hand. DDR didn't care which foot (or hands) you used, just as long as it was on the beat. Because of that, they could change their arrow colors to which type of note (quarter, 8th, 16th, etc.) Imagine having 2 sets of colors like that, one for each hand. It'll look pretty cluttered and complicated IMO. It does take some time getting used to, but wasn't too difficult to adjust away from knowing what type of note each slash was.

    This is an interesting idea. I agree on the harder songs it gets very difficult to identify the prompts and the timing.
