Wiggle can decrease score when there are filters

My overall score decreased by nearly 10 points after performing a wiggle, due to the combined effect of two penalties. There were no constraints imposed, ie. no bands or frozen segments, slow filters were enabled and clashing importance was equal to 1.

Arithmetic shows that the score before penalties would have increased slightly, so I assume this is the criteria for a "successful" wiggle. I suggest wiggle takes into account the score after penalties, or that it's optional.

I didn't attach a screenshot- the only thing that looked different was the score.

Arithmetic:

BEFORE WIGGLE: 12877.108 (would have been 13687.108 without penalties)
Score:
0 Bonuses, 3 penalties, all conditions met

  • Residue IE Score: met
  • Core Existence; lost (-360)
  • Polar Core: lost (-450)

AFTER WIGGLE: 12867.153 (would have been 13687.153 without penalties)
Score:
0 Bonuses, 3 penalties, all conditions met

  • Residue IE Score: met
  • Core Existence; lost (-320)
  • Polar Core: lost (-500)

Wiggle does micro optimalisations. But what is good for the segments involved can have a negative effect on the filters. Wiggle does not care. It is a feature. It would probably make wiggle a lot slower if it has to take the filters also in account.
