Since I starting this project in September 2013 , the BMS naming format has always been a bone of contention with so many people – it became obvious that there was never going to be a middle ground. So I’ve stuck to the original naming convention used over the years, with small modifiers used, for example;
2013 or so: {artist.name en/jp} - {BMS title from script, UTF8 chars not kept}, [BPM], {GENRE} {usrsong perception} ) EX: beatMARiO - -front of cherry blossum- , (164BPM Genre, Oriental Euro ^^ Fan Made) 【BMS】 2014 or so: {artist.name en/jp} - {BMS title from script, UTF8 chars not kept}, [BPM], {GENRE} {EVENT/PACK.TITLE} EX: -6yen - Esoterica, (121BPM Genre, BigBeat. 2002 Classic!) 【BMS】 2015 or so: {artist.name en/jp} - {BMS title from script, UTF8 chars not kept}, [BPM], {GENRE} {EVENT/PACK.TITLE} EX: DJ Oddball - Drunk Monkey, (145BPM (Beatmania 4th Mix) 【BMS】 2016 or so: {artist.name en/jp} - {BMS title from script, UTF8preserved}, [min-maxBPM], {GENRE} {EVENT/PACK.TITLE} EX: SmiGoon - World, Beautiful, 43-173BPM.
