New feature + complementary tool

Extended Music Room for Ren'Py
A downloadable music room

I've released a new tool which complements the music room - Marquee for Ren'Py! There are some example screenshots where I use it to create scrolling text for song titles. The code to do that looks like:

if current_track:
     marquee:
         xysize (250, 40)
         animation marquee_scroll(5.0, 2.0)
         text current_track.name layout 'nobreak'
     marquee:
         xysize (250, 40)
         animation marquee_shuffle(2.5, 1.0)
         text current_track.artist layout 'nobreak' color "#bfbfb9"

I've also added a small new feature to the music room - a special function which will fetch the currently playing song to set as the current track right when the music room starts up. I've updated both files and the README to explain it. Basically, it means that instead of 

default current_track = None

You can do

default current_track = mr.get_current_song()

and it will recognize any currently playing songs from the music room.

I hope you find the new feature and tool helpful!
