Re: Help with [play note ( ) for ( ) beats] block
If it's the actual setting that you're having trrouble with, click on the dropdown arrow, and click one of the "B" keys on the little piano keyboard that appears.
If you can't hear the sound at all (on any notes or drums), check out this thread: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=240
Hope this helps

Yes, that block can be confusing. In Scratch, the "notes" aren't actually the names of the notes (like B or F#). Instead, they are represented by numbers. Like Wolfie said, click the little arrow and choose the note on the piano you want:
If you don't know the notes on the piano, you can use this chart to help you:
Good luck! I look forward to seeing your project!
