Small update today, I noticed especially after adding the applause that sound effects were cutting each other off a lot, so I baked together a lot of the combinations of sounds that frequently fire on a line clear into their own single sounds and stole some tracks off of the unused music and gave them to the sound engine. Between those, sounds shouldn't really be getting interrupted anymore. I also took out the pause counter since it's a bit ugly and this really shouldn't be being used for formal runs anyways.
Thanks again for all the support!
