 Favourability is a function of your maximum combo only. The formula is the same calculation used per combo string in School Idol Festival, which, explicitly, is:

Below the art are buttons for Song Information and for score ranking (on the ranking screen, the first tab shows your place and those around you in the ranking; the second tab shows the overall top scores; and the third tab seems to show friend scores).

At the top is the bar showing your score progress, with actual score at the top-left. The different score rank grades will be at different points on this bar depending on difficulty. At top-right is your stamina indicator - don't let this run out, or you'll fail the song!

		+	Heart-shaped notes will travel from the pulsing center heart out to their tap zones, which appear only when there's something to tap.
		+
		+	There are single notes, double notes (which are more shaded than the single notes, and have two smaller hearts inside), and hold notes (which you have to keep pressed, and release on time).
		+
		+	Occasionally, you'll see other textual elements on screen - at the top near the pulsing heart, you'll see note timing indicators, score/combo rank milestones, and your current combo total. There'll also be little bits of text that scroll across the screen to indicate cards' skills activating.
		+
		+	At bottom-left and bottom-right, there are two buttons that you can tap to activate a clothing skill - just be careful not to break combo when you're activating the skill!
		+
		+	At the very bottom, once your combo is high enough, you'll see the disco ball for Mirror Bonus pop up. Swipe it to keep it spinning in order to score higher!

		+	Songs can end in 3 ways - a Full Combo Clear, a regular Clear, or (sadly) a Game Over. Aim for the former as much as you can!

 First off, your Center Girl will have a little something to say, based on your score rank obtained during the song. Next to the big score rank indicator will be your score for that play of the song in question, and below that, if applicable, your current high score on the song. Below that on the left is a breakdown of how many of each note judgments you hit - try to get as few of the last three as possible! On the right will be your highest combo for that play of the song, your highest combo over all plays, and the Mirror Bonus percentage you were able to obtain during that play. To the lower right is a reminder of the song you just played.
