DoReMi is missing two octaves, programmers needed?

Doremi is extremely useful as a tool to teach piano. I've never taken a single lesson, but through time I've eventually begun to play things like Moonlight 1st mvt., Fur Elise, Turkish March, and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 with both hands. However, some songs require an entire octave below and above what Doremi recognizes. This caused me to reach a stopping point in learning Hungarian Rhapsody, because of 16ths reaching all the way to the last octave and chords in the first octave.

Any expert in programming know of a way to add the missing octaves to the full mode? It'll make the program 100x more useful. Maybe examine the PMS converter too, I don't know if it supports 7 octaves yet.

Thanks!

those octaves are not supposed to be there. This is a keyboardmania sim, and as far as I know keyboardmania does not have any more octaves.

I'd be interested in trying to do something like that, but instead of attempting to modify an existing program (would be far too difficult), I'd rather just make a new one from the ground up.

now that would be pretty cool. Theres one app like that called piano hero that uses MIDI files, but as of yet it does not play back the audio or anything, which makes it kind of pointless.

Synthesia, Piano for Everyone

not sure if the current version is locked now in anyway, I believe I have 0.6.3 and .1 and neither of them are locked (I think)

Obviously, they're not supposed to be there. I'm saying it's missing two octaves because full pianos have 88 keys and Doremi only has room for 60. I use the program to teach myself to play songs, and I can't play parts of the songs because they go too high or too low for the program.
