The menu music won't stop unlike the code (should) suggest.
The in-game music DOES, however, start and I need help to make the menu theme stop while the in-game music plays. Help?

The code that won't work:

It's because you set the music to play until its done, meaning that script can't perform another check for the backdrop number until the song finishes playing. I think that

wait (3.50) secs
play sound [GameSelectTheme v]
wait until <not <<(backdrop #) = [3]> or <<(backdrop #) = [4]> or <(backdrop #) = [5]>>>>
stop all sounds

would be better. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much! I really can't explain how much I appreciate this. Like, I know it's weird that I appreciate this, but I just really really needed to get this update out. I'll definitely credit you in the “Notes and Credits” section!

however then the music only plays once and if there are any other sounds playing or the new music starts before the old one ends then those will stop as well. i usually use

when green flag clicked
forever
play sound [music v] until done
end

when green flag clicked
forever
if <not<too lazy to write all of the backdrops>> then 
set volume to (100) %
else
set volume to (0) %
end
end

the only disadvantage is that if you need to play it again it might continue in the middle because volume 0% doesn't prevent the music from continuing to play

If OP wants to go this far, then they could use

when green flag clicked
wait (3.50) secs
forever
create clone of [myself v]
wait until <not <<(backdrop #) = [3]> or <<(backdrop #) = [4]> or <(backdrop #) = [5]>>>>
wait until <<(backdrop #) = [3]> or <<(backdrop #) = [4]> or <(backdrop #) = [5]>>>
end

when I start as a clone
hide
play sound [GameSelectTheme v]
wait until <not <<(backdrop #) = [3]> or <<(backdrop #) = [4]> or <(backdrop #) = [5]>>>>
delete this clone

It would allow the music to restart at the beginning anytime its played.
