String blocks

Something that has always bothered me about the piano is that it's impossible to hold out notes. If we had another instrument, this problem could be fixed. As I imagine it, string blocks would have almost the same interface as the piano, but with an enable/disable button somewhere. So if you select octave 4 G enable block, an octave 4 G string sound would play until you hit an octave 4 G disable block.

The actual instrument isn't that important, I just thought a synthetic string sound would be really good for this.

Listen to my in-game music! (it's pretty much all I'm good at)

Re: String blocks

The only problem I have is that having enable and disable blocks for every note may be kind of confusing, where-as the current music system is pretty simple to use.

Perhaps instead of enable/disable blocks, we could have an extra option when placing a note block, to set the length of the note. There should be an input for tempo, and an input for the length in terms of a bar (1/4, 1/8, 3/4, etc). Alternatively, there could be an input for the length in seconds (you can input decimal numbers) but I think it would be a bit tedious because you would have to fiddle around with it to figure out the right number.

Re: String blocks

We should have a full ingame composer, like what https://musescore.com/ offers
