Hammer-ons / Taps / Hopo Note Fix

We've received a few complaints over the past few months about having to hit the note before a hammer-on / tappable / hopo note earlier than usually necessary. We looked into this and realized the feedback was well founded, specifically with runs of descending hammer-on notes (ascending runs were fine, for the most part, but not always). Notes that you had to strum before a hammer-on, or series of hammer-ons, had to be strummed earlier than necessary because of a bug in how we evaluated chords and tappable notes. I am extremely happy to say that, as of 3 minutes ago, we pushed a fix to the live site. Rock on!

how does those hammer-ons work?
i always treated them like normal notes, and couldn't find an explanation
I never heard of a "definition", but I think it is, when you have to press a series of different notes in quick succession (like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) you only have to strum for the first note, and then press only the frets afterwards.
But really it would be nice to clear up a few things.
Like why is fc means a perfect score?
When you can hammer-on?
How does the score gets counted for notes you have to hold down exactly? (Should I press a bit before, or after, or try to aim for right on?)
How does the ladder score gets counted? (Read half the anwser for this in a reply)
Maybe these could go in the FAQ?
Does this patch will correct problem when hitting chords ? I can do 1-2 chords, but when I do 2-3 chords (yep, I'm still a beginner :-), nothing happens when I strum with Enter key or Shift key. Any clue ?
@ Qzole: FC means "Full combo" -- you never lose your "x4 multiplier" and get 100%
Ah, that explains it, I too had a perfect once, which wasn't fc. Thank you for clearing it up.
