Well I have done what I could do a few hours ago. I used the effect Display instruction to play music. But if you do this the problem becomes that if you have playing a music you are not able to send other chats. You only can send instructions before the music starts.
I already placed the music at place 2 and the all the other instructions on 0 or 1 but still it won't work.
(how it is done) Trigger "music": (looping) Condition 0: Timer (is needed) Effect 0: Display instructions send sound on the music. And type a . in the chat part.
Try not looping the music trigger, instead have it play through once, and it you want to music to loop, activate a trigger that plays the music every how many seconds there are in the song.
Use Send Chat instead of display instructions, it might work. Didn't try.

The reason is that the text will stay put as long as the sound is playing. What you need to do is instead of playing the sund on display instructions, make a different effect called play sound.

No, because he wants the sound to stop when he wants and the only way is either Display Instructions or Send chat(not sure as I said before).

At EO: Thanks for the help. Didn't help I can start the chat but I don't know how to stop it.
To all the other people who tried thnx too.
At Byzantine_Warrior: MM nice try but I am no N00b that was my first idea to but that does not work.
Condition: Send Chat: 2 : Player 1 Effect: Deactiviate trigger: Music trigger
Trigger 2 Condition: Send Chat: 1 : player 1 Effect: Activate trigger: Music Trigger
What this does is when u type 2 the music stop ( you have to wait for it to end and the trigger has to not be on loop ) and then when you type 1 it starts again.
That is the problem If you use Send chat or Play sound you can't stop it. If you use Display instructions You can stop it but you are not able to display other messagers.
