Comment (by mystrw1):

 Gameplay testing update: (07/13/26)

 The following issues were noted during latest play-testing:
 - The Save/Load system now works but is still a bit flaky.  Game can
 indeed now be saved and then re-loaded later but Save game titles (as
 shown in their save slots) do not display properly during the current game
 being played.
 - An original bug was found in the maintenance room off the back basement
 hallway.   (SPOILER...)      When you close the lid on the wooden crate
 next to the room's entry door, a "Question" note is found.  You can pick
 up the note once to look at it but once you put it down, you can't pick it
 up again. (all other "Question" notes can be picked up repeatedly...)  Can
 something like this be fixed in ScummVM...?
 - A progress-blocking bug has been found after Questions 1-19 have been
 correctly answered.  A 2nd floor performer make-up/changing room
 (backstage of the theater) contains a puzzle that is currently broken.
 Marbles are removed from a dispenser and then placed on a puzzle board in
 a certain pattern.  Currently, the marbles can be removed from the
 dispenser but cannot be placed properly on the puzzle board. Solving the
 puzzle is required prior to continuing on in the game.

 The following issues remain as previously noted:
 - During the opening cutscene, during the close-up of the newspaper, the
 bottom-right quadrant of the screen is black, whereas the other 3 quads.
 display the newspaper page properly.
 - Navigating the learning areas (accessed from either Options menu or in-
 game links...) had the following noted issues :
 - Within the "Music Theory" learning link, in "The 12 Tones" book, using
 the lower-right corner "Return to the shelf" arrow at any time crashes the
 game.
 - Within the "Music Theory" learning link, the "Scales and Keys" and "A
 Short Lesson in Harmony" books briefly flash their Table of Contents (ToC)
 but then proceed to display a learning page (should just remain on ToC...)
 - Within the "Music Theory" learning link, the "Rhythm" and "Melody and
 Form" books both briefly flash their ToC but then proceed to display a
 blank white screen (should also just remain on ToC...)
 - Within the "Instruments" learning link, click on any of the various
 instruments.  When you click on their small "Movie" windows, a single
 video frame appears but then the video immediately closes without
 completing.  Also, the information text box below the "Movie" screens do
 not currently scroll to allow viewing of all contained text.
