Renaming Difficulties

If you had to rename the difficulty levels of a Bemani game, what would you rename them to? Sure the current ones are fine, but what if?

I'd only change Another to Expert in IIDX, and recolor the Black Another to purple and call it Master, so IIDX gets difficulties that still make sense but with DDR and GFDM names respectively for the two hardest difficulties. I still don't get why it's called Another though; is it not because a song would sound different in the earlier IIDX games?

Pretty much, its pretty rare to see songs with a "true" another chart. They just kept the name.
