The Chart Editor - SlightlySimple/FNF-Restructure-Engine GitHub Wiki

Restructure Engine's chart editor is vastly different from the base FNF chart editor, as it was designed originally after an editor called ArrowVortex and is meant to edit the whole chart at once, rather than doing it one section at a time.

Creating a new Chart

Select the "Chart Editor" option in the Editors Menu and click on "New". This will open a file browser where you can then select one of the audio tracks in the song you want to chart. Assuming said audio track is in the right location for the game to access it, you'll then be taken to the editor.

The Layout

The editor, like the game, can be either upscroll or downscroll, and will default to whatever your scroll setting for the game itself is. This can however be changed with the "Reverse Scroll" checkbox.

In the middle is the chart. The strums are placed at your current position within the song, which can be changed with the mouse scroll wheel. Notes can be placed using the number keys 1-8 on your keyboard, and will be placed at wherever the current position within the song is. To place a hold note, press your desired number key and hold it, scroll to where you want the hold note to end, and let go of the key. You can remove a note by hovering the strum line over it and pressing the appropriate number key, or by right clicking on it.

By default, the editor has a zoom of 1 and a snap of 16. Zoom controls how spaced together notes and other elements are, while snap controls where these elements can be placed. Zoom can be increased by pressing X on your keyboard and decreased by pressing Z. Snap can be increased by pressing Son your keyboard and decreased by pressing A.

Selecting Notes

Notes can be selected by clicking on them, or by clicking and dragging. You can add notes to the selection by holding "shift" as you're selecting them. You can also select every note in the chart by pressing Ctrl + A on your keyboard.

By clicking on an already selected note and dragging, you can move every selected note at once to a different part of the chart. These notes can also be moved one space at a time by holding Shift and pressing the arrow keys.

Pressing the Delete key on your keyboard will allow you to delete every currently selected note. Pressing Ctrl + T on your keyboard will allow you to change every selected note to a certain type, as defined by the "Type of new Notes" field in the "Misc." tab. Pressing Ctrl + B on your keyboard will cause every selected note to align with the current snap. Pressing Ctrl + C will allow you to copy every currently selected note, and pressing Ctrl + V will paste the last copied notes at the current strum position.
