The link to set options to set difficulty levels (All keys, Treble keys only, Bass keys only, option to set sharps and flats) has been improved to make it easier to find. As suggested by a customer, the previous information icon seemed like it only links to company information, but the icon actually provides game settings options.

We truly appreciate your feedback and we love to hear suggestions on how you think we should improve in future updates.
