I love this. Is there a way to make longer songs? IDK how feasible it is due to how real music boxes work. But it would be lovely to be able to do. 

It may also be nice to have a way to just press a or something to auto play. I am able to kind of do this in edit mode by holding down on the d pad but not in play mode.

Thanks!

I’m still undecided whether I want to support longer songs. In principle there is nothing wrong with it but I feel it might take away a bit from the concept of a “simple music box” that is at least somewhat realistic.

Some form of auto play is on my TODO list, though I’m extremely busy with other things at the moment. I hope I will find time to work on a few additions in February.

Here's a real life version of a simple music box that can support longer songs. You can buy sheet music strips and tape them together. So think of the playdate music box as one of these:   https://kikkerland.com/products/make-your-own-music-box-kit

Yes I’m aware of these.

FYI: I released an update today with adjustable lengths.
