Can you explain what “going over the staff” is? In my years of writing music I have never heard of “going over the staff" before. Also, what is “it”? I am assuming that “it” is in the image but I can’t tell what you were referring to as “it”. ---

I don’t think it’s possible to go above, though @richard made an extension that has a block you can edit the octave of a certain instrument. I forgot what the extension was called though. ---

He means that the song he’s remaking goes over the highest note on the makecode arcade staff, which is G. ---

Sorry, I Didn’t Clearly State. I am Trying to make a remake of a game thats mostly faithful. However, the music goes farther then the clickable options (you can guess by the sheet music presented). Since i just learnt that you can change the note from natural to sharp or flat using the J Key, I Wonder if there’s more that i don’t know ---

What I do when a note is too high to be in makecode is that I just lower it one octave. It does change the song’s feeling, but it still sounds good and not really bad. Hope this helps?
