Here are the letters for different instruments and note heights.
a=mario
b=mushroom
c=yoshi
d=star
e=flower
f=gameboy
g=dog
h=cat
i=pig
j=swan
k=face
l=plane
m=boat
n=car
o=heart
q=pirahna
p=coin
r=shyguy
s=boo

And here are the note heights but using "replace all" wont work:

NOTE HIGHTS: (from lowest to highest)
p;
p
p#
o#
n
n#
m
m#
l#
k
k#
j
j#
i
i#
h#
g
g#
f
f#
e#
d
d#
c
c#
b
b#
a#

Since instruments & note heights are using same letters, its impossible to change one without changing the other when youre using "replace all" function in notepad but editing by hand is possible. Have fun Also you can experiment with different letters of the alphabet to see if you can get sounds lower than graphically capable in the knights who say... NI and post them here

Edit: I also discovered that there should be 6 note capability in the knights who say... NI but there isnt for some reason. An empty line where notes are set | in the .txt file looks like this when you have put a note and then erased it and saved an empty file [:++++++q:] There are 6 pluses and the notes and their heights go away or I shall taunt you a second time away or I shall taunt you a second time before a + so this leaves with one unused +. I have tried to put a note there but then the notes wont make a sound at all. (I even tryed putting 10 notes on a line but the program kept erroring) Have fun pondering that one out

Kind of did this before, but this chart is extremely helpful

Sorry to bump, but there's another instrument, too.

If you use any letter from u to z (as far as I've tested, any other symbol besides a to t works too) then it creates a glitch note which creates chords with every other instrument on that beat. For example, if there is a gameboy on C, a glitch note on F, and a car on A#, then you hear a C-F gameboy chord and a F-A# car chord.

It's very situational, but it could be used as an alternative to dickspeed for circumventing the 5 note per beat restriction.

you should do a "hq#". That cat sound is CREEPY xO
