Melodics scores your lessons based on how accurately you played and how consistently you kept a clean streak. There's no ceiling for how high your score can go, and stars are awarded at set performance thresholds – including one, two, three, and Platinum stars.
How scores are calculated
Two things determine your score:
Timing precision Every note is measured for how closely on time it was – not just whether it counted as a hit. A note that lands very tightly on the beat scores higher than one that was technically "green" but slightly off. The more precise your timing, the higher your score.
Note streaks Hitting correct notes in a row builds a streak. Longer unbroken streaks contribute more to your score. A missed note resets the streak, so consistency matters as much as accuracy.
Stars and performance thresholds
You can earn one, two, three, or Platinum stars based on how well you play. Platinum is still earned for a "perfect" performance with all-green notes, but it's no longer the ceiling – it's a checkpoint.
Why there's no ceiling
Because the scoring system measures how tightly on time each note was (not just whether it was green), there's always room to push your score higher through greater precision and longer streaks.
In practice, this means:
You can push for a new high score by playing again and more accurately
Your score doesn't stop at Platinum stars – you can keep improving on the same lesson indefinitely
FAQs
Can I earn a score of 100 anymore?
Can I earn a score of 100 anymore?
You can, but 100 is no longer the maximum. It's possible to score above 100 on any lesson by playing with consistent timing precision and maintaining long streaks.
What's the highest possible score?
What's the highest possible score?
There isn't a hard ceiling. The score reflects the quality of your performance, so it scales with how precisely and consistently you play.
Why is my score on one lesson so much higher than on another?
Why is my score on one lesson so much higher than on another?
A lesson with more notes has more opportunities to earn points, so the overall score ceiling is naturally higher. On a note-dense lesson you might score 10,000 or more; on a shorter one, something closer to 1,000 could still represent a strong performance. Each lesson effectively has its own scoring range, so the number is most useful as a personal benchmark on that specific lesson rather than something to compare across the library.
