New Music Block Suggestions

Often, these blocks could be useful for the Music extension:

stop all music of [all v]::pen
//can be set to a specific sprite as well
set instrument of [myself v] to (1:piano v)::pen
//other sprites are possible too
(volume::pen)
//volume of music extension can be set independently from the one in the Sound category

Also, more instruments and drums would be nice as well. And maybe, instead of a bunch of blocks to create music, make a sub-page to compose music more visually, and not in form of numbers. That would make composing music easier.

And maybe, although it can be workarounded as well, this could also be useful:
(last note played::pen)
(last drum played::pen)

I hope, you like my suggestions

New Music Block Suggestions

I like the idea of having a separate volume value for the music blocks than the sound blocks, it allows for you to make more dynamic sounds. However, I'm not too sure why you need a last drum played block. Wouldn't the last played note block cover that?

What I was gonna say.

I do think that the music extention volume block should be named something else, as to differentiate it from the sound volume as the only different thing is the color, and that'd still be confusing.

Thanks for Suggesting!

Good question! Drums count separately from notes in Scratch, so that separate values actually make sense.

Thanks for telling me that! I would probably call it „instrument volume“ or somehow this way.
