The play note () for () seconds block was a stack block and a LEGO WeDo 2.0 block. The block was available in Scratch 2.0, although it was removed in Scratch 3.0 because the sound it made was very quiet. The block beeped the specified MIDI note on the LEGO WeDo 2.0 for the specified number of seconds. The block appears and functions as expected in Scratch 3.0.
