No, I'm not telling you how to write a macro for the best xp gain. There are plenty of other threads for that. This is a macro you can use that might just make the cantinas sound less like noise and more like music. Hopefully if enough people start using this, the music will actually be worth listening to again. You can use this in combination with other macros. Just start them both. You can even use this one alone if you don't need musician xp, just healing xp.

Name the macro "Silence" and put in the body:

/pausemusic ; /pause2 ; /macro Silence

My intent is for this to be used by people who have the sound off, aren't there, or otherwise aren't listening to the music they are playing, or people who don't flourish constantly with their slitherhorn on starwars1.

I should add - This won't effect your xp gain at all. Nor will it cost any action to use. There are no harmful side effects. All it does is make you play silence while still playing.

so your not playing any actuall song?

Or is that just so you dont hear it, cause its easier to turn speakers down

Turning your speakers down doesn't help others. Some of us actually like to try to make music, not just noise. When you use pausemusic, you are playing nothing for a flourish. Nobody hears you, but you are still using the musician skill, so still healing and getting musician and healing xp. Assuming you did a flourish every 4 seconds, and a pause every 2 seconds, you would do a flourish, then be silent for 2 flourishes, then a flourish, then silence for 2 flourishes. Not sure how far ahead it will go, but it does queue up for a bit. You could even do it every second and with the above macro only actually play 1 in 5 flourishes. If you use xp decay to maximize xp for action used, you'll be playing even less. If you're capped on musician xp, you can just not flourish at all and you'll never make a sound.
