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)...
