Is there a way to start audio and autoscroll at the same time?

OnSong can perform actions when certain "triggers" are encountered. Triggers can be screen taps or foot pedal pressed. In addition, certain actions like autoscroll and audio playback can trigger other actions.

To do this, open the Utilities Menu by tapping on the gear icon in the Menubar and then go into Settings.  Select Navigation Settings on the left and then Triggers on the right.   Here you can set an action using the Actions Menu for certain triggers such as when the autoscroll starts by choosing the Autoscroll Trigger.  This action could be set to toggle the audio backing track (Backing Tracks > Control > Toggle).  That in turn could perform an action that you specific in the Audio Trigger.  You could set this to toggle the metronome (Metronome > Control > Toggle).  In that way, performing one action like autoscroll can start everything else for your song.
