Custom Pitch Block turns into Regular Pitch Block + No Pitch Preview

[AnvitaPrasad]

Description

There are two issues related to the Custom Pitch Block

1. Custom Pitch Blocks are sometimes replaced by Regular Pitch Blocks without user intent.
2. No pitch preview sound plays when clicking on a Custom Pitch Block, unlike other pitch blocks.

• PR: Fix reverse and rotation issues for Custom Pitch Block #4594
• Issue: Custom Pitch block's pie menu is reversed, no rotation, and no pitch preview #2255

Expected Behavior

• Custom Pitch Blocks should retain their type and not convert into Regular Pitch Blocks.
• Clicking on a Custom Pitch Block should play a preview sound, just like Regular Pitch Blocks.
