They're definable by the themes. Currently there's no .chart standard for the drum fill and drum overdrive specials. To answer your question though, yes, they can be added. You could even create your own custom theme if you wanted to, say for a 10 fret guitar track.
This is what the default theme looks like. All the images are stored in an sub folder in the same theme folder. The actual note properties are stored in a different file. Keep in mind the format of themes is going to change but this should give you an idea of how easy they are to change. This is also probably a gross misuse of xml but it works so I'm not complaining.

Wow man !! Very nice work you have there !! I have 2 questions though.
Will you be putting in a view, like the original GH/RB note Highway??
And
Will there be a "play test'' mode, to play along to the song to test it? It doesnt have to do points or anything, just let the person hit the notes for testing the chart.
Edit : Also, independent GH/RB drums, slider/ solo's. ect ect, things that make each game individual. |

Probably not. A 3d view destroys the advantage of using a mouse. If photoshop's image views were angled the way the guitar hero fretboard is, it would be hell to edit images.

I don't really see the point to this but it is possible. I'd have to do research into timing windows for this though which I don't care to do currently.

Yeah, this is all possible and will be implemented.

Starpower and overdrive are the same thing. It is the fault of the chart->midi converters that things get mixed up as far as I know.
You guys have to also remember that the chart format doesn't hold any game specific data. It's up to other programs to convert them to their respective games.

a good idea for the play testing mentioned earlier:
if its not too hard (which i imagine is really hard), just program a bot that'll "hit" the notes right at the strike line so you can see if your note pitch is right and what not

How is this any different than just letting the chart play and watching it?

Figured I'd bump this with an update. The video below is basically showing the arpeggiator tool I'm incorporating.

I really can't give an estimate as my work on it has become erratic. It's making progress though.

What sort of syncing methods are you planning on including? Obviously BPM changes are necessary; will we be able to edit those to tenths of a whole number? Hundredths, thousandths?
Anything similar to anchors in Feedback or an alternate syncing method?

It's essentially going to be the same as feedback save for being able to use the mouse. I plan on having a little bpm icon on sync points where people can set or remove the anchor with a right click and move them by dragging them. Of course they'll also be able to be set via a popup box or the feedback way of using +/-. I apologize if I didn't explain well. It will make more sense when I have a working implementation but I am more focused with other things currently.
BPMs can only be precise up to thousandths because of the way turkeyman decided to set up the chart format. They are stored as signed integers although I'm not sure why as a bpm should never be negative. I am honestly considering implementing my own chart format eventually but not yet.
A bpm of 107.99 is stored as 107990.
