So it alternates between Track 1A, Track 2A, Track 1B, Track 2B, Track 1C, Track 2C then loops for each successive stage. The stage music in Negative works the same way, coincidentally.

Big advantage of this is that, aside from making it seem like I’ve put in way more work than I actually have, it really keeps the file size down - audio is the one thing on PD that isn’t relatively tiny, and I don’t feel like a deserve to hog 40mb of limited storage.
Your audio samples for the instruments do eat a storage, but that can be somewhat mitigated if a lot of your tracks end up using a lot of common samples.
There’s a fair bit more setup involved in using a midi sequence for music rather than streaming an audio file, though, and I gather it’s a bit more of a processor overhead particularly if you have a lot of individual instrument channels. I’ve code to help me manage this stuff at this point tho.
Anyway, that’s shop talk for this evening. I should probably talk about my half-arsed stage production pipeline at some point, that might actually be useful to know for someone.
