stepmania offset

i dont see this in any other threads (yes, even the obvious ones), so here is is.

both my keyboard and my pad seemend to be lagging on every single song i played, and i didnt want to change the offset on every single song. i didnt see any options for general offset in the stepmania menus, so i tried the forums. no avail. i searched through a bunch of ini files and finally found:

Your devices do not lag, the stepcharts are just a bit off and that will be 0.03secs

That was already well known (atleast I did)

i mean every single song. its inherent of the electronics to take a very short while to register. if i push a button on my joystick, it takes a fraction of a second for the signal to be represented on the screen. so, i offset the difference my changing the timing bar.

I think that settings moves the whole stepchart, not just the timing window.

thats what i mean. it offsets the steps to the song so button presses are on beat with the song and the steps instead of just the songchart being in time with the song.
