--Have withstood pain to create many noteskins
--Yet these hands will never hold anything

--Just play a bit with lua its not that hard if you understand coding
--But SM can be an ass in some cases, and some codes jut wont work if you dont have the noteskin on FallbackNoteSkin=common in the metric.ini
