Installing the editor

Download

Windows/Linux

You can download the editor from these URLs:

Windows

Linux (x64)

AUR (Binary)

AUR (Source)
Alternatively, you can download from github
Go to the MercuryMapper GitHub repository.
In the Releases section, find the latest release (it’s usually at the top of the list).
Under the latest release, find the assets section and download the version for your operating system.

OS X

Due to the requirements to develop for mac, the mac version is seperately maintained by h3llo_wor1d. (No guarantees this works/doesn't break)

1. Go to the MercuryMapper Mac Repository 2. In the Releases section, find the latest release (it’s usually at the top of the list). 3. Under the latest release, find the assets section and download MercuryMapper-Win-Portable.zip 4. Alternatively, you can download from one of these links:

OS X (ARM64)

Requires .NET 8.0.12

Install

This is for Windows, but the core concepts can be transferred to other operating systems.

Once the download is complete, navigate to your download location.
Right-click the MercuryMapper-Win-Portable.zip file and select Extract All or use a tool like 7zip to extract it.
Navigate to the extracted folder.
Locate and run MercuryMapper.exe

Setting up audio

Audacity/Tenacity

This guide will use audacity, but the core concepts can be transferred to other audio editors.

Open Audacity or Tenacity and import your song.
Insert one or two measures of silence at the start of the audio, use one if you want the song to start immediately after the metronome.
Ensure the song is synced so that the first beat lands at the start of a measure, you can use Generate -> BPM Labels to check this.

BPM Labels is not a stock plugin

If you don't have it, download it here: bpm-labels.ny

Example image, where the audio starts on measure 2 and the first played beat is on measure 4: BPM_Label_Image

Export the edited audio using File -> Export Audio, It's recommend to export as WAV as it tends to work the best.

Reaper

Open Reaper
If this is your first time running reaper, make sure Grid Lines are enabled:
Then, go to File -> Project Settings, change Timebase for items/envelopes/markers to Time, and click Save as default project settings
Drag and drop your audio, or use Insert -> Media File
Set your song's BPM on the bottom right
Hold shift+click to drag the track without grid snapping, and time the audio to the measure line.
If you need to add measures, expand (click and drag) the left edge of your track until it snaps to a measure line, then click and drag the track to move it around.

Basics

Initial Chart Setup

In the editor, select File -> New to create a new chart.
Set the BPM and Time Signature here, if you don't have them you can usually find them pretty easily or calculate them yourself.
In the right of the editor, open Chart Info and fill out all the information.

3.1. See the User Interface Section if any fields are confusing

Hitsounds

Download the hitsounds zip here: hitsounds.zip.

Right-click the hitsounds.zip file and select Extract All or use a tool like 7zip to extract it.

Open the settings, then select Audio, from here you can change hitsound volume and assign the audio files to each hitsound type.

`Chart Author` - The author of the chart, probably you

`BPM Text` - The BPM to display on the Song Select Screen.

`Chart Background` - Saturn only, changes the styling of the background during gameplay.

`Diff(iculty)` - The difficulty level of the chart, includes a 5th option of `WORLD'S END` in reference to Chunithm that is used for experimental/joke charts.

`Level` - The decimal difficulty value

The game starts '+' values at .7, so a 13.6 is a 13 while a 13.7 is a 13+
The game doesn't support 14+, so difficulties of 14.7-14.9 should be avoided

`Clear Threshold` - Determines how much score is needed to clear

It's recommended to use `0.5` for Normal, `0.6` for Hard, and `0.83` for Expert/Inferno

`Paint Selected Traces` - Applies the selected color to all selected traces

`Hold Bake/Ease` - Bake hold will fill the area between a selected segment of a hold and the next segment of a hold with more segments to achieve a smoother result

The easing type to the left of the bake button determines where the inserted segments are placed
If you want your non-linear eases to look closer to official charting (see: less smooth), use eases and then reconstruct hold to 1/16th intervals. After that delete any unnecessary extras, and bake linearly.
Examples of non-linear curves can be seen at this website

`Insert Segment` - Inserts a hold segment at the current time with the same size/position as the cursor in a hold if one of its' segments are highlighted.

`Stitch Note Collection` - If only a hold end and a hold start are selected, they will fuse into a singular hold.

Settings

Editor

`Quantize on Pause` - Whenever you pause, snaps to the nearest beat based on your beat division. (Highly recommended)

`Highlight Placed Note` - Automatically highlight a note when you place it.

`Limit to Mercury Bonus Types` - If unchecked, allows bonuses to be used on any note (Not compatible if charting for mercury).

Note Placement

You can adjust note size and position by clicking and dragging in the viewport or with the sliders found in Current Note Settings on the left.
Place notes by pressing I or by clicking the button under those sliders.
Select note type with the colored buttons in the top left or by pressing number keys.
Place Bonus/R Notes by using the buttons under the note type panel to change bonus type.

Holds

Once you place a hold note, you can only place hold segments until you finish the hold note.
To finish a hold note place the last segment and then click the End Note Collection button next to the insert button.

Selecting, Editing, Deleting

To select a specific note, Ctrl + Left Click or scroll to it and click Nearest in the Selection Info tab. If there are multiple notes at once, you can click < Previous or Next > while highlighing to cycle though them.
Highlighting and Selecting are two different things
- Highlighting (Red) is used to select certain notes (useful when overlaps are present) and to view information in the Selection Info tab
- Selecting (Blue) doesn't show info in the Selection Info tab and can select multiple notes at once.
To delete a note, either undo with Ctrl + Z or select a note and press Delete/click Delete Selection in the Modify Notes tab.
To edit the type/size, you can use the edit note keybinds or use the Edit [Shape] and Edit [Type] buttons to change the selected note into the shape/type of the currently selected shape/type.
MercuryMapper converts copied sections to text in modern versions, so you can paste between windows or even paste into discord to share a pattern.

Gimmicks

Hi-Speed

Can be used to slow down or speed up the scroll speed
If a hold that moves/changes size is in the view port during a really slow hispeed (under 0.01), the game may have issues/crash.

Stop

Stops the movement of notes, effectively a 0 hispeed
Mixing Stop gimmicks with Hi-Speed gimmicks will result in unintended behavior, so it is generally not recommended (does not apply to Saturn)

Reverse

Creates a section where notes scroll backward before playing back normally
Almost exclusively used when referencing another game that does it
Mixing Reverse gimmicks with any other gimmick will cause crashes. Please leave plenty of space after the reverse end
