    • Place notes in C3 (60)

    Feline Fretboard:

    • Lane 2: D#3 (63)
      • Lift notes: A#2 (58)
    • Lane 3: D3 (62)
      • Lift notes: A2 (57)
    • Lane 4: C#3 (61)
      • Lift notes: G#2 (56)
    • To chart sustain notes, extend the duration of the note

  4. Export your MIDI and place it in the Assets/StreamingAssets folder

  5. Add the album art to the Assets/Textures/AlbumArt folder (ensure it is POT)

  6. Create a new SongData asset in the Assets/Songs folder, and fill in the details

  7. Add your song audio and album art to the Songs addressable group; and add a label for the song e.g. songname + songasset & titledownload. Then add the song data to the SongData addressable group; and add a label for the song e.g. songname + songdata

  8. To test out your new song, set it as the default song in the SongManager script under the Music object in the GameSystems scene, then open a _xxBase scene to test that gameplay mode
