Switch background music after changing scene

Question

Hi everyone, I’m new in Godot and this is my first post. I’m trying to change which music is playing in the background but can’t find a proper way to do it and searched a lot before coming here.
For exemple: I have the menu scenes musics and a main scene music. So I tried do get the current scene through the get.tree and using conditions, signal etc but didn’t find a proper way to update the info receive and change the music once the scene is changed. I’m only able to play one song in all project instead of only a fews. How can I keep monitoring the current scene so the correct music will be played? I wanna do this in a single scrip instead of putting one song at a time in all scene.
This is not my native language, so forgive me any erros!

How to get the value of a variable from another scene?

Looking at it made me think more and helped me to get a conclusion. Here’s what I did:
I have two autoloads scripts, GameManager and MusicManager:

# On GameManager.gd
var current_scene = null

Set the function conditioning the current scene in MusicManager to play the specific music and then I use the game manager in the following scenes:

# Menu.gd
func _ready():
	GameManager.current_scene = "Menu"
	MusicManager.current_song()

And did the same for the others scenes and it worked. But surely theres a better way to do it, cuz what if I have several scenes? It will be a lot of work. But for now this is working!

Thank you for the help!!
