@Blind_Evil: If you having trouble getting the Boss #2 to appear (as you seem to imply) then my advice is to put your slowest character first in the FMS (or if you really know the songs, put in a low level character in that place with low agility) since it actually isn't about doing well or doing badly in the FMS to decide whether you get the 1/2 or 2/3; it's actually about distance and passing the sign that says 2/3 on the road in the FMS. This means you will likely not go the distance required and then in the second one you simply have to do well and the boss 2 will appear.
@Turambar: I found that levelling up character individually when you unlock new ones is more efficient, especially if you have an EXP Hound Ability Item to put on them (this means they get all the experience so if the other 3 are maxed out then none of the Exp is wasted), this allows you to continue to do high level songs because the other three can make up for the low level character, and since you are doing high level ones (as long as you are doing well on them) then you will get more Exp. Doing it by this method means it is quite likely the low level character will level up at least once every song.
@GunstarRed: When I find ones I am bad at I find simply setting up my party with a healing set-up and possibly an item to heal if it goes badly (I end up with loads of Potions so I just leave them equiped when I am not trying to get a high score on a level; if I want to do this I go for the stoic bonus but on Dark Notes it actually doesn't gain you anything to go stoic). This way I can sort of brute force my way through songs I am bad at and then I can enjoy the ones I like (it also means I can clear a Dark Note and move on to the next one pretty quickly so I can do a bunch at once and since they slowly get harder/faster then I end up doing well on levels I usually expect to do badly on since they are such a high level due to me getting used to the speed previously meaning it feels like the difficulty is going up slowly like a normal games difficulty curve rather than what I found when I beat one then later went back and found I was horrible at it due to sort of forgetting the speed).
