Don't you think the curves should look more like steps?
After all, when you go from, say, 121 to 119, this is not a linear
progress. It's more like a jump. Or a fall.

So maybe the curves should look more like the following, don't you think?

      -----+
      -----|------------+
           |            |
120 -      |            +---- Ringo
      -----|-----+
           +-----|----------- John
110 -            |
                 +----------- Paul

        |         |         |
       then     later      now


This means you'd probably have to use two scores for the same moment in
time. If the score goes from s0 to s1 at time t, the data to feed the
program should be : (0, s0), (t, s0), (t, s1) and (now, s1)...

A little perl filter might help... ;-)
