I'll just note that the (volume) is sprite/clone/stage-specific.

That means changing it will only affect sounds/notes that are playing in the same sprite/clone/stage.

Also, if you have a clone playing sounds/notes, you can stop everything playing in that clone just by deleting it.


If you make use of the above capabilities then it's possible to do some quite decent things, even with the built-in Scratch note-blocks.

Here's a demo project to show what's possible:

Still, it'd be nice to have the capability to pause a sound (and then continue playing it from where it paused).

But, I think an even more generally useful capability would be a reporter block to get the current ‘time position’ for a sound, and a block that allows you to start playing from a specific time:

(current time position for sound [name v] :: sound ) // could do with better wording
play sound [name v] from time (1) secs :: sound // also, have another block with "until done"...?

Having the above would allow you to effectively pause and restart a sound (along with *many* other things…) – though I think it'd be somewhat more intuitive if there was also a "stop playing sound [name v]" block (rather than having to delete a clone to stop it, after keeping track of the sound's time position in a global variable, etc., so you can restart it from that point).

Uh the "stop playing sound " block is there:

stop sound [pop v] :: sound
