How To Add Paths
Overview
If you have a path to contribute to the wiki, here's how you can help:
- Upgrade or apply for access to edit song pages.
- Navigate to the song page where you wish to contribute a path.
- Either click "Edit" at the bottom of the page, or double-click somewhere inside the page.
- Change the existing {{path}} action or add a new {{path}} entry to the page.
- Click "Store" to save the changes.
Using the Path action: {{path}}
Here's some templates and examples for specifying paths on both single player and multiplayer pages. All parameters are optional, so you may include as much or as little information you have to describe a path.
To use the following templates:
- Copy and paste a template below into the appropriate song page.
- Remove any lines or parameters that don't apply (i.e instruments that don't exist, fields you can't provide, etc.).
- Replace the blank lines with data similar to that shown in the examples below.

Learning short Path Notations
One of the most common things provided to describe paths is shorthand notation. If not familiar, these can often be quite confusing at a glance. The community has adopted standards for each instrument to concisely and accurately portray a path in a short line of text.
To better understand these notations yourself, and to ensure you're contributing paths in a way others will be able to understand best, please refer to the PathNotations page.
Notes and Tips
- Shorthand notation and path notes should avoid references that require a visual to understand. The purpose of shorthand is for users to memorize and execute paths without having to figure out what it means with a chart. For example, "Activate on 2nd B after the break" is much better than "Activate 3rd beat of measure 127".
- Everything is optional. So provide as much as you can, but don't hesitate to contribute if you don't have much to add.
- If the label field is omitted, it will default to "optimal".
