Hi! I have the alpine Takayama matsumoto area pass and just found out that shinkansen is not covered with the pass. My question is can i ride the shinkansen using the pass and just pay for the fare difference?

I don't think you can ride the shinkansen using a pass and pay for the price difference.
at least I have never seen anything like it during all of my travels to Japan. Passes have special-set prices and they wouldn't be able to properly calculate the price difference.
you would need to buy a shinkansen ticket for this.
In the title you mention that it is a follow up question, was it this one?
