Cut down the instrumental intro in "Sunday Smiled" by Hungry Lucy to allow the player to more quickly begin play.

Two new songs added to Steno Hero!
We've released Steno Arcade version 1.1.7, which includes two new Steno Hero songs and a minor bug fix. Details below:
We've added two new, "Very Easy" songs to Steno Hero:
"Sunday Smiled" by Hungry Lucy
"I Think I Started a Trend" by Brad Sucks
We know that many have been complaining about the difficulty of the songs in Steno Hero, so we've added these two new tracks in the hopes of making the game more accessible. Let us know what you think.
Bug fixes:
Fixed a crash that was caused when the user pressed specific keys in-game.
We're also aware of a bug that's causing Steno Arcade to crash on start-up. It's affecting a very small number of players which is making it difficult to troubleshoot, but we hope to have the matter resolved in our next update.
