Finger choice for tapping notes survey

Hello and thank you for participating in this survey! Your input is welcome for our research into the tapping patterns of Beatstar and Countrystar players, specifically focusing on the middle column where finger choice can be ambiguous. . Please be aware that this survey is tailored for individuals who play with two fingers. If you usually use three or four fingers, kindly adjust your responses to reflect a two-finger playstyle. The initial questions aim to understand your playstyle, followed by inquiries about specific tapping scenarios in the middle column. For clarity, the highlighted note will always be colored white, unless otherwise specified in the question description. If you're a registered BeatSCORE user and logged in, your responses will be saved to your account. This allows you to access and review your answers later. Survey can be submitted anonymously, but keep in mind that viewing anonymously provided answers is not possible. Disclaimer: Your responses will be processed in bulk, and no individually identifying information will be collected Thank you and best regards, DethoRhyne
