Timing language
A cue is the sound, phrase or musical pattern that tells you when to press. A visual tell is the screen motion that may help, but can also distract. Calibration is the settings step that aligns input timing with your display and audio setup. A Perfect attempt is a cleaner run after you understand the cue, not the first thing to chase.
Writing guides with this vocabulary keeps advice precise. Say "press on the last sound of the phrase" rather than "press at the right time." The first sentence gives a player something to do. The second only tells them they failed.
When a page describes a miss, name the likely failure mode. Early means the player predicted before the cue. Late means the player reacted after the cue. Wrong layer means they followed animation instead of sound. Those distinctions produce fixes.
This vocabulary also helps multiplayer pages stay fair. Instead of saying one player is bad at rhythm, the guide can say the group is counting a different layer and needs to agree on the phrase.
