How do I Keep a song playing across multiple layouts?

I have a Level Select Layout, but I also want a World Select layout. The thing is, I can't figure out how to keep a song playing, even when the World Select layout ends, and it changes to the Level Select Layout. I don't want it to restart, just keep playing.

And the same goes for the levels. I have a song that plays, but when you restart the level, the song restarts, which isn't really a big deal, but it would be better if it just kept playing.

How do I do this? Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

Music will naturally keep playing, so you must be restarting it either in your "On start of layout", or somewhere else.

Yeah, but I have a retry button that restarts the layout, wouldn't that make the song start again without ending the other song?

Check if music is playing first then, and only start if not playing.

I got rid of the event that stopped the music and the end of layout, then I did this, but it still restarts the music.

Oh, I did it slightly different... Thanks for the example! It works! But what if It's a different song between layouts?

You can keep track of the current song when you play it, and apply more logic to test if it keeps playing or needs to switch. And/or use "Is tag playing".

Thanks for all your help! You've steered me into the right direction!
