Syncing a cut-scene and music will be hard even without fades, because for similar reasons the sprite speed isn't the same everywhere. But if you accept a low threshold it can work.

If you're worried about fades, maybe you could spawn a script and do the fade in that new script. Meanwhile, your main script will wait(2000); and continue independently of the fade status.

To avoid a fade_up effect, you might use fade_up() on a black screen (where this will have no graphic effect) and then load another screen.

On to fade_up() time

1.07: depends on whether the game could complete a complete fade_down(), or only a partial one (fade_up will then be quicker). It then depends on computer speed (the faster computer, the quicker fade)

1.08 8bit: depends on computer speed

1.08 32bit: same than fade_down() 32bit
