I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, but I wouldn't want to "unpeg" the level difficulty from the 1-star score, only the reverse.

I.e., Have level difficulty depend on score as well as other requirements, but have score difficulty not depend on level difficulty.

Consider a case where attaining the 1-star score is insanely hard, but other requirements are easy to fulfill. It will be insanely hard to pass the level, since passing necessarily "includes" making the score. Therefore, level rating should depend on score as well.

Conversely, if a level requires you to make 10 color bombs in 10 moves, but the 1 star score is 500 pts (an extreme example), there is no difficulty associated with the score. Making the score does not necessarily "include" passing the level, so score rating should not depend on that.
