E: Or maybe make them change colour once they go from incoming to outgoing? Or maybe an ultra brief flash or some kind the instant they're on beat. When you've got a top-down format for a rhythm game it's tricky to make things intuitive to sightread. I had problems in Elite Beat Agents where I had to memorize the flow of every pattern in songs I had never heard before, and if I started messing up it was difficult to know, at a glance, how to get back on track.
The actual jubeat doesn't do that as far as I can tell (but then again the actual jubeat rarely has anything faster than 1/8 note) so I didn't think to implement anything like that, but I'll keep it in mind for a future release.
