I don’t understand the piano role

[Adude]

Hi very new to lmms I’m having trouble with the piano role every key is c6 or c7 or c4 or whatever their is no e5 or a4 or any other chord types! I’ve been watching some videos and these videos are saying things like f5 or g4 are the keys they will be using and I have no idea how to understand about g4 or whatever if every key on the scale is labeled c something like c2 or c6. Pls help

I’m having trouble with the piano role :: no e5 or a4 or any other chord types!

They are not chord-types, they are notes.
To make a chord, 2 or more notes must be pressed at the same time.

I have no idea how to understand about g4 or whatever if every key on the scale is labeled c something like c2 or c6.

You need a crash-course in simple music-theory :)
Once all this also was confusing to me, but you need to work with things, before they get easy :)
All notes are not all labelled 'c'
C-note on each octave are default enhanced by a label.
All notes are not default labelled. A lot of users would dislike that strongly! You need to select that option in your Settings!
Edit| Settings| General-Settings
Here you find the option for labels on all notes as the 5. from bottom
Select that!
So now all your white piano-roll notes has a label:
C D E F G A B
The black notes are called sharps, they are named after the closest white-note under it : C#
Here you will find much more easy to follow tutorials on simple music-theory
