What do the bars by the songs mean?
« on: May 22, 2020, 06:18:33 PM »
Hello, new user here.

By every song, there is a colored bar. Sometimes it's blue and full, other times it is green and almost empty, etc. I assume this is difficulty right? What is the key to this? Is the blue full one harder than the green empty one? Can someone explain this to me or link me to the answer? Thank you so much! This website is a great resource for music!

Those are the popularity bars - they change every week depending on how many people download the sheet that week.

Thank you very much for your quick reply! One more question, do the colors mean anything? So the emptier the bar the less popular it is? And the colors are just a nice touch I assume?

Yep, that's exactly right. Blue/completely filled means it's very popular, empty means it isn't.

Additionally, new sheets will start with an empty bar for the first week, as there's no data on them yet.

What's the number of download per time relative to colors?

At the end of each week, the sheets are all ranked according to the number of downloads in the past week. Then they're split into 11 brackets and given a 'rank' from 10/10 to 0/10, with each rank having its own colour. So the top 9.09% get 10/10, the next 9.09% get 9/10 etc etc ... and the bottom 9.09% get 0/10.

So to answer your question, there is no set number of downloads to get into a bracket, its just about the last week's rankings.
