...or to stop the music:

music()

Parameters

• track : the id of the track to play (0..7)
• frame : the index of the frame to play from (0..15)
• row : the index of the row to play from (0..63)
• loop : loop music (true) or play it once (false)
• sustain : sustain notes after the end of each frame or stop them (true/false)
• tempo : play track with the specified tempo, (added in version 0.90)
• speed : play track with the specified speed, (added in version 0.90)

Description

This function starts playing a track created in the Music Editor.

Tip

If you call music() within TIC(), the specified track will restart 60 times per second - probably not what was intended! You'll need to add conditional logic to ensure that the track isn't continuously restarted, for example:

musicplaying = false

function TIC()
    -- ensure we only start the music a single time
    if not musicplaying then
        music(0)
        musicplaying = true
    end
end
