[User Story] Halting of Music After the Image has Been Closed or a New Image is Played

This "User Story" appears to presume a behavior that doesn't match with the current behavior (at least when tested on macOS). In particular, once the Play action is selected the picture windows do not respond to menu item requests. This also means that it is not currently possible to begin playing a second image at the same time (such as for a duet).

Perhaps there is an intent for multiple other changes to be inferred that would provide the context for this story. If so, please write those user stories explicitly. Then this user story might be added that will build on such a product.

Investigations suggest that the behavior is likely dependent on the version of Java used in the build of imageLab.

In particular, the current release (v1.8.3) of imagelab.jar distributed via https://metrocs.github.io/imagelab/ does not appear to provide the ability to close a window or activate other windows during "play".

Builds of the current repository code under Java version 11 or later do appear to allow interaction with imageLab windows while "play" is ongoing; the behavior described in this issue.

This suggests the existence of another substantive issue involving associating particular versions of imageLab with particular versions of Java.
