Music in the IRQ without wrecking everything else

ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION
Calling the play routine from a raster interrupt works until my screen effect starts doing real work. Then the tune occasionally hiccups.

I am measuring both routines now. Any favorite way to budget the frame before the code turns into archaeology?

Give the music a stable slot first, measure worst case rather than average, then make the visual effect fit around it.
REPLY #2
Also confirm the player itself has no surprise heavy frames. Some instruments cost more on particular steps.

Want to add to this transmission?
