Please state why you support the suggestion. It's not very constructive when you say “support” or “100% support” and not to add anything after without further explaination.

I support this because I myself wanna make some music and then the cool ability to make it stop and play again.

if <<touching [ button ] ?>> then
pause sound [Never Gonna Give You Up]
end

Thank you for supporting the suggestion! This is also a good idea, too. But please don't use scratch blocks to spam here, (using random sentences that don't contribute to the current topic and discussion) use them here instead in this topic: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/706823/?page=1

Although this is honestly a really good idea in my opinion, there is a somewhat workaround…
(I’m not sure if it 100% works and I’ll elaborate—and I do apologize if this has been brought up before)
I usually make a pause script like this:

when I receive [pause]
set volume to (0) %
set pitch effect to (-99999999...)

(Do note that I just used the pitch effect instead of the

set tempo to () bpm

just because of 3.0 existing and all, I thought the bpm instead of pitch effect might confuse, so that, hence the block color being red-)
and unpause like this:

when I receive [unpause]
set pitch effect to (0)
set volume to (100) %

This usually works for me, but I’m not sure if it’ll work 100% because it’s still technically playing just very slowly—I’d have to conduct a lil research, but this still a useful short-term pause workaround.

(Personally though I agree that we need a block for this lol)

Please explain why; otherwise, you're adding nothing to the discussion.

This is what I want to do:

when I receive [game paused v]
pause sound [Hot Spaghetti v] :: sound
forever
play sound [Leaning Dream v] until done
end

A lot of people are gonna say there exists a work around. But these people are wrong. See you can set the pitch to -Infinity, but that won't change the reality of the situation which is that Scratch will just set the pitch to -360. Because scratch has a hard minimum for what the pitch can be

    static get EFFECT_RANGE () {
        return {
            pitch: {min: -360, max: 360}, // -3 to 3 octaves
            pan: {min: -100, max: 100} // 100% left to 100% right
        };
    }

. Now this means if you set the pitch to -Infinity, your pitch will be set to -360 or the speed of the song will be an eighth of what it previously was. There doesn't exist a workaround for this
