The fix to this problem is quite easy
Keripo founded it while helping me to fix mines

go to #NOTES
and before it you will see one ,
change it to ;


<Keripo> notes are suppose to end with a semicolon
<Keripo> not a comma
<Glas> lol that's all?
<Keripo> well, thats how other stepfiles are formatted
<Keripo> yes
<Keripo> cause what happened
<Keripo> was the parser read past the comma
<Keripo> kept going expecting notes data
<Keripo> and tried to parse the next "#NOTES"
<Keripo> as a new line of notes

[haruka108]

wow! that did it!
thanks Glas and Keripo!

I'ma play around with the parser later and see if there's an easy "fix" for it.

Technically though, I shouldn't be cleaning up after improperly formatted stepfiles...

I've started to play around with Dancing Monkeys, and I got this error with the first stepfile I managed to create. Maybe it's a common error with Dancing Monkeys generated stepfiles, and if so, shouldn't the dev for that be notified as well?

I generated a stepfile with Dancing Monkeys. On that stepfile, I got the same error as the OP in this discussion got-- caused by the improper formatting of the notes data.

It seems to me that Dancing Monkeys outputs .SM files with Notes data that ends with a comma, not a semicolon.

If it's in the SM requirements that Notes data ends with a semicolon, this would seem, to me, to be a bug in Dancing Monkeys, no? If so, I'd think it would be a good idea to somehow notify the dev of Dancing Monkeys.
