But there's at least a music track or so made on TIC-80 using the note-cutting upon frame transitions.

Yeah, that's Hyrum's Law.

In my opinion, it's more consistent when the note gets sustained, so that each frame is just the continuation of a track, not a break point. What do you think is better? :)

We have a lot of tracks previously created without the note sustaining and we have to keep compatibility with them.
So, as a workaround, we could add a sustain flag to the RAM (somewhere here 0x13FFC https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/wiki/RAM#music-position) to control this behavior.

Sounds good to me, I'll try to implement that :)

Great, also we need to add a sustain param to the music(track, frame, row, loop, sustain=false) API, as well as UI button in the Music Editor to enable the mode.

Maybe we should add a settings popup or second screen with this mode, follow mode, and future modes we may add? In this way, the tracker's UI remains clean and only with the most used tools. I don't think people will be constantly toggling follow mode or sustain mode. Plus, a cluttered UI usually turns people off. What do you think?

We can add a popup or second screen with the options, but the easiest way is to add a button to the toolbar to enable sustain mode, I think. There is a lot of space :)

That's right, right now there aren't many config options to justify a window. Well, if you add more features in the future you can consider the config window :)

awesome, could you pls fix two points I mentioned in the comments?
thank you

Right! Thanks :) I also want to make some tests with all the APIs to ensure nothing went wrong...

How do you deal with the API reference in the wiki? Should we update it now or after a release?

Yes, I forgot it, we have to update the wiki with 0.80 badge

Ok. I'll do that then :)
