The article states that practice mode is done in 10% increments. Although that is accurate for most songs, longer songs are broken down into 5% increments, and shorter songs are in 20% increments. I'm not sure what the cutoff is for song length, if it's automatic or by the choice of the charter, but I think the general guideline is that each practice section is around 15-20 seconds long [[User:Bclare|Bclare]] ([[User talk:Bclare|talk]]) 00:03, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

If Future songs are added

If a section on future songs is added as with the regular DLC list, I strongly recommend that a new column to list the source be included for each song. Also, this would need to avoid using the songs-in-playtesting lists; the sources should really be music or gaming news sites rather than from rockband.com (unless, of course, an official HMX rep says something.). --MASEM (t) 02:07, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Much work is needed:

There is a lot of work needed in this article:

  • Songs should be sorted by release date: This falls in line with other RB song list articles.
  • Only confirmed songs should be included: That is, only songs actually available via the in-game store should be included.
  • Prices need to go from the table: There were issues with articles being treated like catalogues, which is hard to argue against if prices are included in the table as they currently are.
  • Do not link albums when song articles are not available: The goal is to provide song information, which we aren't doing by simply linking to an album. Some exceptions can be made if an article contains information specifically regarding the backgroudn of a given song.

I will do my best to put some of these changes in place...but some (including resorting the table by date) is going to be a LOT of work. -- TRTX T / C 02:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will note the songs are actually sorted by release date - just that the day one releases are all alphabetical. I would think it better that songs released on the same day should be next sorted by band, but I dunno what the next best step is. --MASEM (t) 03:54, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I caught that after the fact. I think you have a good idea grouping same day songs by artist. Perhaps three tierd sorting -> Date, Artist, Song...so it mirrors the current tables? -- TRTX T / C 14:20, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Practice Mode

The article states that practice mode is done in 10% increments. Although that is accurate for most songs, longer songs are broken down into 5% increments, and shorter songs are in 20% increments. I'm not sure what the cutoff is for song length, if it's automatic or by the choice of the charter, but I think the general guideline is that each practice section is around 15-20 seconds long Bclare (talk) 00:03, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
