the length of the note to be played. Notes can also be moved side to side by clicking and dragging. To increase
the length of a note, press the "=" key. To decrease the length of the note, press the "-" key.
Notes can be deleted by clicking on the block then presseing the delete key.
You can test what notes sound like by clicking the letter-number combination labels on the left side of the canvas.
Clicking a label will sample what the note sounds like.
When you are ready to play your song, click the "Play Song" button. The notes will begin moving from right to left.
As the note blocks hit the left border, the note will play. Play around with spacing your notes out and changing their size
to make different kinds of music!
