Redstone current only causes the note to play once, even if it is a continuous current. A note block must have at least one block of air above it to play a sound. Notes can be heard up to 48 blocks away. Each time a note block plays a note, a note particle will fly out of the top, with the color depending on the pitch (but not the instrument). Minecraft Note Block Studio 3.6.0 is free to download from our software library. Minecraft Note Block Studio was developed to work on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 and is compatible with 32-bit systems. The file size of the latest installation package available is 8.6 MB.

There is not much documentation yet, but the program should be pretty self-explanatory. To play the map, choose Export in the File menu. Just experiment and try everything out. Don't forget to check the menus, and to see what happens if you right-click instead of left-clicking.
Having said that, the documentation, such as it is (including a FAQ), can be found here.

The Minecraft Note Block Studio is a fan-made, external music editor for Minecraft. With it, users can compose complex note block songs without redstone knowledge, though some minor musical instrument knowledge is required. In the software, the range of the note blocks can go far beyond the 2 octaves allowed in Minecraft and custom instruments may be added from sound files. In January 2019, the program was discontinued by David Norgen, however, in the webpage, he mentioned an open-source continuation made by HielkeMinecraft.
The program supports MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), both from input files (.mid files) and from connected electronic keyboards. Songs can be exported into .mp3 files and converted into data packs that can be used to play them in the game, and also .schematic files, that can be imported into a Minecraft world using MCEdit.

MIDI import problems:
Note Block Studio No Download
- Tempo changes aren't supported. If a tempo is supposed to change in the middle of a song, the tempo will remain the same, resulting in the song becoming faster or slower.
- Time signature changes aren't supported. This can cause problems in a large amount of XG MIDI files that have their loading data in the first measure, but the first measure has a time signature different than the rest of the measures.
- The way MIDI files are read have a few issues, F#5 from MIDI is being treathen wrong and requires manually to shift it one octave up.
