ON PLAY(n) Statement Details
 
Syntax
  ON PLAY(queuelimit) GOSUB {linelabel | linenumber}
 
The following three rules apply to the use of ON PLAY:
 
  1. A play event trap occurs only when music is playing in the
     background. Play event traps do not occur when music is running
     in the foreground.
 
  2. A play event trap does not occur if the background music queue
     has already gone from having queuelimit to queuelimit -1
     notes when a PLAY ON is executed.
 
  3. If queuelimit is a large number, event traps may occur often
     enough to slow down the program.
