You’ll see then. I also saw this, by @Kikketer, which looks relevant to what you’re doing: > [@Introducing: Make Beeps! - Create music in BeepBox and import to MakeCode Arcade!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/introducing-make-beeps-create-music-in-beepbox-and-import-to-makecode-arcade/41378): > > Over the last couple of weeks I took a challenge of seeing if I can use BeepBox to craft a song then import it into MakeCode Arcade! The inspiration came after watching some of the “collaboration” options videos and how “copy/paste” was promoted as a way to collaborate a projects across students.
