Creating a song for StepMania (and syncing it up '''PROPERLY'''), is actually a bit more complex than just placing arrows on a chart when you hear where you want notes to be placed. With this guide, you should ascertain a general understanding of how to create a SM file, collaborate and input backgrounds, banners, and CD titles to your song, and of course, actually step the song to a decent syncing ability.

It should be noted that newbies to the game should NOT try to create songs until they are good enough players to be able to complete the song they are going to step (in other words, if a song dictates fast guitar paces, or intense drumming sequences, don't step the song unless you are sure you can pass these sequences if you were to step them accurately). This way you will have an easier ability to double check a song's accuracy if you are stepping the file from scratch in the editor.
