Stop melody does not stop all melodies from playing

[microbit-mark]

If you create multiple melodies in a loop, stop melody does not stop them all playing. In this program, if you shake during the first melody, it stops and then passes back to the next melody to play.

I would expect this program to stop all melodies playing on shake ie not play the second melody.

This reproduces in MakeCode and on the device.

Play melody is sequential. It is possible, first melody is stopped and the second one starts based on the timing.

They are not run in background but in foreground.

The stop melody block seems confusing then. Perhaps the default should be 'Stop melody - current' to indicate that it will stop current melody playing but not 'all'.

[abchatra]

It is stopping all the melody which is running. It can't stop the melody which is going to run in the future.

[abchatra]

You can always start a melody once it is stopped.
