Play chord block
Title says all.
This block would be very helpful for people who make music (like me) and want to put it into Scratch. However, the way the current system goes, you need three separate scripts just to make three notes. And it can be a pain trying to synchronize the notes. Maybe something like this?:
(The first three notes being notes, the last being beats.)

That's a perfect example image of a custom block that can do so. Just put each note into the block's definition.

Well, you can do this:
This worked better on Scratch 1.4 (i.e. the notes sounded more together), but it sort of works here too.
when green flag clicked
broadcast [F chord]
when I receive [F chord]
play note [53] for [0.5] beats
when I receive [F chord]
play note [57] for [0.5] beats
when I receive [F chord]
play note [60] for [0.5] beats
when I receive [F chord]
play note [65] for [0.5] beats

You need three scripts to make a chord, as jvvg showed. I don't really want six scripts cluttering up the script area just to play a song.

Perhaps like those BYOB arrows where you can add or remove notes, so you can have like 1-10 notes or so?

Uh… Aren't there only like 88 possible notes to play?Perhaps like those BYOB arrows where you can add or remove notes, so you can have like 1-10 notes or so?Mine uses a list, so you can play 0-300 notes at once

Technically, there is notes between all the numbers on Scratch (although I have no clue how this works.)Uh… Aren't there only like 88 possible notes to play?Perhaps like those BYOB arrows where you can add or remove notes, so you can have like 1-10 notes or so?Mine uses a list, so you can play 0-300 notes at once

Play chord block
I am having the exactly the same problem, I am trying to play a lot of different chords, so broadcasting them would make the code look messy and would be hard to add on to if I needed to.
The idea of a
block is a good idea but would take a lot of coding and I would have the same problem as I had before.
I am desperate to finish off this project but those pesky chords mean I can't.
The idea of a
play chord (note1) (note2) (note3) (beats)(sorry that it is red and orange)

The fact that the screenshots here are of 2.0 and that freaking jvvg responded to the topic should let you know this topic's practically old enough to drive.

Please help me, I will be looking for a solution also, but I will need you guys to help me because I can't do this myself.
Thanks.
If you're having this issue please make a separate topic.
