Yes, and it will in TS4 too.  (If it's hitting a stop, you don't need 
to check "update every tick.")  But only using the default sound.  I 
said you could play a WAV file in EL to use custom sounds, but you 
can only do THAT at the end of the bar, when your EL code gets called.

You may be able to play it sooner, in your EL code, if you turn on 
"update every tick."  But in TS4 at least, you'll probably end up 
playing the sound on EVERY tick from then until the close of the bar. 
 TS4 has no "memory" of what's happened before in the bar, so there's 
no way to know you've already played the sound.

(That's only for indicators, BTW.  In TS4 there is no "update every 
tick" setting for systems.)

No thanks.  :-)
