What do practitioner accounts say about Wwise interactive-music transitions, state-driven switching, layering and their failure cases when official Wwise docs are unreachable?
A 2018 practitioner tutorial on Wwise state-driven music describes transitions that wait for a sync point (such as the next bar to the destination's entry cue) and says a second state change before that point reverts the pending transition if the destination segment has not started; segments added to one state need their own transition rules, so design complexity grows quickly and designs should stay simple; an intensity parameter can drive states through an RTPC curve. A library composer adds that horizontal (re-sequencing) music is tricky because pieces must cut together. These describe practice, not the vendor's specification, for an unstated Wwise version.
