# Custom Notes

Ways to customize the default notes

### Step 1

Creating custom notes can be as simple as duplicating the demo note prefab for each type

### Step 2

Then relate your new prefab with your custom new mappings

### Step 3

Then relate the new mapping to your TrackManager

### P.S.

The long note setup is a bit tricky since it requires sprite tiling, you need to set the top and bottom border as follows and mark the bottom point as the pivot point.

And it's better to make sure the default size is 1 x 1 in the long note prefab and it looks proper at this scale, as the height is being set according to the note's duration in runtime.

### Alternative 1

If you just want to customize the note skin, its possible just to overpaint your skin into the notes textures.
