Maker’s note
Perfect, good and ok hits score 10 / 6 / 3 times the multiplier (x2 at 10 streak, x3 at 20, x4 at 40, x5 at 60). Strays cost 3 ink and break the streak, misses cost 7; run dry and the song ends. Finishing adds accuracy squared times 600 plus 4 per best-streak note. The note chart comes from a seed.
