Tutorial Nesmaker Music Timing

Hello, it's ya boi Klumpus again! First Tutorial! made this work months ago, however never made the full game
or even continue yet due to needing to either learn to make music then or especially now...
anyway, it's very simple actually! but currently only after you follow this low-mediumish tutorial by CutterCross!

and maybe set AllSongs_WithSFX to something like this:

song_index_MytestSong = 0

.dw _sfx_blank

and finally also maybe increase memory with JamesNES's Tutorial on it:

[4.5.x] Move doLoadScreen to Bank 16

After sharing it with CluckFox and Bucket Mouse in the Discord, we figured out that moving a big chunk of doLoadScreen.asm into Bank 16 is possible and saves a ton of space in the static bank (like 15%). First you need to cut out the middle section of doLoadScreen.asm. By default it's line 50...

Okay, Here we go!

Step 1:
in ggsound.asm goto around line 880 and add this under @notePlayed!

lda #$01
sta beatZ
UpdateHudElement #$01

and Ironically enough End/Step 2:
set boolean to zero after the sound basically ends with a small timer! I did this in my MainGameLoop.asm

;;Handle Rythym
HandleGameTimer:
LDA myFrames
CMP #$00
BEQ +setRythym
DEC myFrames
jmp +skip
+setRythym
LDA #$20
STA myFrames
lda #$00
sta beatZ
UpdateHudElement #$01
+skip

and that's it! have a good day everyone!
