No picture, but you get a self-playing piano instead! Use the left/right keys to see the whole piano.

Ah, my script automatically converts the note names like `A4` to `440` and so on, the first parameter to `music.playTone` is the frequency - in blocks, they have a note chooser which automatically picks the frequency for you.

Wow, this is terrific! Did you create a parser to turn a MIDI file into the js score? Some other witchcraft??

> Haha thanks for the compliment smiley This is how I make the songs in Arcade: First I find some sheet music and download it. I usually use the [Musescore](https://musescore.com/dashboard) website to browse for sheet music. Then I open it in the [Musescore](https://musescore.org/en) software, make song adjustments as necessary, and export to the MIDI format. I usually check the .mid file in [Audacity](https://www.audacityteam.org/). After, I adjust my Python scripts to use the MIDI file I just exported. The first script opens and parses the MIDI with [Mido](https://pypi.org/project/mido/) and generates a JSON file that…

If you did use a parser or something similar, can you please make it an extention or a web based thing, like @kristianpedersen 's image convertor.

Hmmmm…that’s a good idea, I’ll try on a spare weekend if I don’t have 500 projects to finish! 😅
Time to learn some web dev!
