Beat snap divisor in the editor 4x3f5h

The beat snap divisor is a setting that determines the editor's behaviour in quantising beats, in a process referred to as beat snapping. It can be found in the upper-right portion of the editor screen.

The beat snap divisor corresponds to the granularity of hit objects on the timeline. The divisor is expressed as a fraction of how many parts a beat should be split into; a denser beat snap divisor setting allows for more notes to be placed in the same measure of time, and vice versa.

The beatmap editor s eleven different beat snap divisor settings, ranging from 1/1 to 1/16.

Divisor	Tick colour	Visual
1/1	White
1/2	Red
1/3	Purple
1/4	Blue
1/5	Yellow
1/6	Purple
1/7	Yellow
1/8	Yellow
1/9	Yellow
1/12	Grey
1/16	Grey

1/1 (full beat), 1/2 (half of a beat), and 1/4 (quarter of a beat) are the most widespread divisors due to the majority of songs being composed with more dense rhythms. Divisors such as 1/3 (triplets) and 1/6 (double triplets) are often used when mapping waltz songs, where a single beat is divided into three or six equal parts.

The rest of the beat snap divisor settings are uncommon and should be used with caution: unless a song or a section in it is composed specifically using non-standard beat lengths, a rare divisor such as 1/5 or 1/16 is typically a sign of incorrect beatmap timing. 1/16 in particular, however, is typically used for buzz sliders.
