	There are also a number of commands that can be used to control the volume of the board music.

			===World Editor===
	The simplest way to add music to a game is through the world editor. The Alt+N editor command allows you to set the default music for a particular board. The default music will loop for as long as the player remains on the board. If two or more boards share the same song, and the game swaps between them, MegaZeux will not reload the song. You can also use Shift+8 or the Numpad * to set the board's default music to a wildcard, which essentially tells MegaZeux to continue playing the current music (if any).
