Yeah I think this one was to complicated and didn't end all to well on paper.
Score sums is not the sum of the dice :
1 dice = 1pt, bonus +1 if it's a 6.
You gain 1 additional point for each series of dice (so if there are equal dice, they don't count here)
You gain bonus points for identical notes, as noted.
Looking back, the count is ridiculously complicated I'm sorry =')
As an example : I choose Ballad as my difficulty, so I roll 4d6.
- First roll : 3, 4, 2, 2.
I keep the 3.
- 2d roll : 2,1,5.
I can only keep 2. So my 2 notes are : 3,2.
- 3rd roll : 6,5.
I can't keep either, so I discard one dice.
- 4th and last roll : 4.
I can keep it, and I'm left with 3 notes : 4,3,2.
- My score is : 1pt by notes, so 3 pts. 1 by notes in series, so 3 too. No six, so no bonus. No identical notes so no bonus.
My total is 6.
According to the Ballad difficulty rating, a socre of 6 is "Confirmed" which is not to bad but not amazing.
Hope this helps !
