Stepmania Online

So I was curious since I first DLed Stepmania 5, its default difficulty is 2 but I switched it to 4; is Difficulty 4 still the status quo for SM5 as it was for the previous versions?

I'd play with ya, but I'm unsure of which files / packs you play so if you'd suggest some I'd be down for playing sometime.

Hi everyone, I used to play pretty competitively back on FFR in '05 but I'm pretty terrible now!

Just wanted to stop in here and say Hello!

I'm currently using Stepmania 5 beta 2a.

Is the a way to hide the Combo Count and not the actual Timing as well?
Blind mode hides both, but I only want to hide the Combo, and not my Timing.
I'm guessing it has to do with changing something in the metrics but I've got no idea what to do here.

Any help is appreciated!
