Hello! I have a new feature idea for Arcade’s Music Maker / Song Editor.  
Since the song editor doesn’t have **sharps** , **bemols** , and other notes that are not natural notes, I’d love to see these other notes present. It would add much more songs you can make with it, and even if it might be hard to understand to people who are relatively new to sheet music or similar stuff, I’d appreciate this change to be possible.

I’m requesting this new feature specially because I’m trying to sort of remake Tentacious D’s _Videogames_ song. I’d be very thankful if you can add this!

I believe you can control click notes to cycle through natural, sharp, and flat.

If you hold down Ctrl and click a note it becomes a sharp, and if you do it again it becomes flat.

It also works to press J after placing the note. when making chords with the same Instrument, Place the higher notes first as this targets the bottom note. What they should add is the ability to change key signatures, or atleast triplets to get a nice swing feel.

personally, i think having more volume control would be really convenient and would also give music more depth
