Urgent issues about the adaptive n-back script

Hi all,

I use the adaptive n-back script and added additional n-back level (max. N=10). Participants can access N=5, but the script won't provide N=6 although participants reach 95% in both modalities...

I followed the instructions for additional n-back levels that were given in the script and re-checkt my script again but found no errors.
Since I did not wrote the script myself, I have no clue where to look for the mistake.

Can somebody please check my script or have any hints? The file is attached!

Thank you very much!
