I have a couple sound blocks to suggest:

play sound [meow v] for (1) secs :: sound

This one here plays the selected sound for the amount of seconds in the number input.
It can sometimes be more useful than the old

play sound [meow v]

Block.

Another block is

(length of sound [meow v] :: sound)

This will report the length of the sound. It can be useful when you have an animation or something requiring a character to say the length of music or a sound effect.
An example is

say [Ok then, the length of the music is] for (4) secs
say (length of sound [music v]:: sound) for (3) secs

Eh? Want one more? Ok.

stop sound [bang v] :: sound

This stops the selected sound. Can be useful for if you want to stop a particular sound. It is much better than

stop all sounds

Because it only stops one sound. If you want to stop multiple sounds, do this:

when I receive [stop some sounds v]
stop sound [bang v] :: sound
stop sound [crackling fire v] :: sound
stop sound [confetti gun v] :: sound

Well, that's all for now. This is updated ASAP, so check back for more blocks.

Support, all of these would be very useful.
some of these might be duplicates but i really don't know for sure

Thanks!
ugh, 60 secon rule. And the wiki thinks it allows you to spam waffles!_waffle_

There's a duplicate for the “play sound for whatever seconds” and the “length of sound” (made by me), made a few days ago, but I say keep this because there are more blocks you suggested.

Wasn't that on my testing topic?

1.

play sound [ v] for (1) secs :: sound

You can do that if the stop sound block is done. Here is the workaround.
Script 1:

when green flag clicked
play sound [ v]
wait (1) secs
stop sound [ v]

And it's really simple.
We're not gonna need that.
2.

(length of [ v] :: sound)

Support!
Cannot see any workarounds!
3.

stop sound [ v] :: sound

Cannot see any workarounds.
2/3 support.

May be a duplicate of the topic over here.

Or without 'stop sound [ v]' block

Could time it. XD

This missing and no easy workaround inspired my suggestion here.

A technique here uses clones for control of a single sound to stop an individual sound.

Well, new scratchers probably won't know about the workabouts.

What triggers me the most is that users are simply rejecting blocks because they have a workaround.

It's like saying, “why do we have go to x y if we have set x to whatever and set y to whatever? Remove this block!”

Yeah. All my blocks I suggested (except for these ones) were rejected just because they had workabouts. Somebody commented on my profile saying they hate me and my ideas and that I didn't deserve to be on Scratch.

Seems to be a pretty old topic. Might want to keep this one.

Yeah. Otherwise, we wouldn't have this block:

go to x: (0) y: (0)

Broken quote!

Let's get this back to the top with my bump machine.

What about time or key signature blocks for things like note block songs?

set time signature to (4) (4)::sound
time signature::reporter sound
set key signature to [C v] major::sound
key signature::reporter sound
set key signature to [A v] minor::sound

and remember:

forever
imagine::motion
program::sound
share::operators
end

I sucks that you have to stop all sounds when you only want to stop 1 sound

Here's a way to stop one sound.
