Trivia

This event is one of few events that do not have a beat parameter, the others being Set Crotchets Per Bar and Set Heart Explode Volume.

This is the only event in the game that, regardless of zoom, spans two beats visually in the editor's timeline.

Placing multiple Play Song events causes the waveform to be a thick line on top of the first song's waveform. This does not affect playback.
