@WoodysWorkshop I was literally searching for a way to do this a day before this got approved, but can you make it so it recognizes what note to place

Now with Lyrics Sync!
It’s a lot like Animal Crossing!

Here’s a demo project:
Yeah I will 
Hex data is tricky! I did have a go at this today but couldn’t match up the instruments quite right so I’ll come back to this. 
- First, you need the Text-Sprite extension
-
Choose the audio track for the lyrics to sync to; 1 note: 1 syllable
-
The demo project looks like:
Select the one channel that carries the melody. From the Daisy Bell example, this is the middle one “8-Bit Square with 162 notes”.
The notes of the melody could show as ‘Dai sy Dai sy give me your an swer do’, but I wanted the whole word to show instead of the syllable, which is why you see words with more than one syllable repeated.
