No problem! The solution here is actually to just set it to text song_name as opposed to text "[song_name]" (and you can add the font as a property i.e. text song_name font "gui/fonts/EBGaramond-Medium.ttf"), since that will mean that the "child" is different when the text updates (vs when it's just text "[song_name]", although the substitution means that song_name is changing, to the marquee, it's still the same object). Hope that does what you want!
