I’ve been trying to make a rhythm game and for the chart design I’ve been testing how the song block works exactly. The issue is that I can’t seen to figure out if it’s actually synced to anything I can actually read the song time progression from. If there is something like that, it would make syncing it to the chart way easier. If not, I might need to invent a complicated system, which could possibly make making songs for the game way more difficult than it should be ---

Is there really no sync to anything on the song block? I really don’t want to recreate the song block just to properly sync a chart ---

There is an extension by Richard that might work here. `Riknoll/arcade-dj` it has an “on note start in track” block. You might have to copy your music into its “track” blocks, which would probably be annoying, but this would be a way that might be as good as copying the native music code and making your own version… ---

that could be extremely useful. I’ve not made any music yet because of this now (probably) resolved issue so I don’t have to copy anything. Might try it tomorrow
