Ratings?

[flygon9]

This may seem very redundant considering how long I've been using this site, but the vertical lines between the arranger's name and the file downloads- is that a rating for that arrangement? That would to make sense, as it seems that the better arrangements typically have more lines. However, if this is the case, who actually does the rating? The admins? Because if that's a rating for the piece, I certainly don't see any way to actually rate it myself. So what exactly do those lines mean?

It means the popularity the sheets have been gotten, more lines mean viewed more times.

I considered that option. But, two songs I uploaded that were in the last update already have a full amount of lines and that seems off, 'cause they've only really been on the site for 5 days.

The bar represents an arrangement's popularity with a scale from 0 to 10. The popularity is based on the number of downloads in the past week and it is updated weekly.

Idk what merits a full bar. I don't think anyone besides the admins has access to the actual numbers.

Ahh. Alrighty, thanks guys!

It stands for the amount of downloads in a two week (iirc) period.

[Maelstrom]

Pretty sure it was a one-week period.

And it's actually on an 11 point scale, in case anyone wondered.

Additionally, if you mouse over the rating, it says popularity, sooo...

It means you're a hit and you should celebrate.

Well usually the songs that were in the last update will get a popularity spike in the beginning since they are new and people want to check out the latest sheets.

Also I'm pretty sure that every time you yourself view the sheet it counts as a hit.
