Okay, how about this: You'll use addScore() and score groupings as normal and 
add the scores for each level into a different group. But I'll provide a flag 
to pass to show() such as show(KScoreManager::LeaderBoard) which will display 
a table with just one page and just the #1 score for each group. So basically 
KScoreManager::show() will have two different ways of displaying the data.

How's that sound?
