Trying to add this code for a button but its not running correctly

This is code for my project one tab is called Music Project and the other is called star. I also have another file which contains code for the button that can be pushed to stop and play music. The button code on its own works fine, however when I try to add it to my project code I get errors and the code will not run. I know for sure the button code can be added and it will work but I’m not adding it correctly. I have tried moving the code around make sure that its put in the draw statement, put setup code in setup, have minim etc. I’m still not able to properly add my code in so everything can run. Please let me know suggestions where and how I should add the button code so my project runs, thanks. Here is my code:

MUSIC PROJECT TAB/CODE

//minim is the audio library allowing for us to play and pull the music in

//width variable for the button

  for (int i = 0; i < song1.bufferSize() - 1; i++)

STAR TAB/CODE

//create a "Star" class
class Star {
  
// variables specify the x and y of each star,z variable wil be used in a formula to modify the stars position
  float x;
  float y;
  float z;

// avariable to store the previous value of the z variable
// (the value of the z variable at the previous frame).
  float pz;

  Star() {
//x&y places values in the variables, note: height and width are the same: the canvas is a square,note: the z value can't exceed the width/2 (and height/2) value, 
//because use "z" as divisor of the "x" and "y", whose values are also between "0" and "width/2"
//pz=z : set the previous position of "z" in the same position of "z", stars are not moving during the first frame.
    x = random(-width/2, width/2);
    y = random(-height/2, height/2);
    z = random(width/2);
    pz = z;
  }

  void update() {
    
// here you take the variable z and divide it to get the new x,y coordinates of the star, the speed value is bigger= z decreses
// when the "z" value equals to 1, the star have passed the
// you can place it on more time in the canvas, with new x, y and z values.
// this way we also avoid a potential division by 0.
   
    z = z - speed;
    
  if (z < 1) {
      z = width/2;
      x = random(-width/2, width/2);
      y = random(-height/2, height/2);
      pz = z;
    }
}

  void show() {
    
     float temp= random(0, 100);
   
//if the speed of the stars is less than 50 then we display random colors for the stars with no outline which is the noStroke
   if (temp > 50 )
       
    fill(random(0,255), random(0,255), random(0,255));
   else 
     
      fill(random(0,255), random(0,255), random(0,255));
      noStroke();

// map will give new star positions
// the division x / z get a number between 0 and a very high number,
// map this number (proportionally to a range of 0 - 1), inside a range of 0 - width/2.
//this makes sure the new coordinates "sx" and "sy" move faster at each frame
// and which they finish their travel outside of the canvas (they finish when "z" is less than a).

    float sx = map(x / z, 0, 1, 0, width/2);
    float sy = map(y / z, 0, 1, 0, height/2);

    float r = map(z, 0, width/2, 16, 0);
    ellipse(sx, sy, r, r);

//use the "pz" valute to get the previous position of the stars,
//to draw a line from the previous position to the new (current) one.
    float px = map(x / pz, 0, 1, 0, width/2);
    float py = map(y / pz, 0, 1, 0, height/2);

    pz = z;

    stroke(255);
    line(px, py, sx, sy);

  }
}

BUTTON CODE

import ddf.minim.*;
Minim minim;
AudioPlayer player;
boolean play;
int button_x = 40, button_y = 40, button_sz = 20;

void setup()
{
minim=new Minim(this);
  player=minim.loadFile("Tobu - Higher.mp3");
}
void draw(){
  background(20, 0, 0);
  stroke(255, 0, 255);
  fill(50, 0, 120);
  rect(button_x, button_y, button_sz, button_sz);
  
  if (play)
    player.play();
    else
    player.pause();
}

void mousePressed(){
  if( mouseX > button_x && mouseX < button_x + button_sz &&
      mouseY > button_y && mouseY < button_y + button_sz){
  play = !play;//will switch false/true each click
      }
}

You sketch (all tabs, combined) can only have one setup() and one draw(). You can’t combine two standalone sketches and have them work – if you have two setups, your sketch is already broken.

Do the error messages in the console tell you anything?

BUT
it should not be that difficult:

again: this will NOT work:

import A

variable B

setup 

draw

// same or other tab
import A

variable B

setup 

draw

but for a “merge” that could work:

import A

variable B

setup 
setup_button()

draw
draw_button()

// same or other tab
// import A    // disable double import

// variable B // can not declare same variables 
// comment out if same use
// rename if same name but different use
// use like:
variable Bbutton

// setup
setup_button()
//draw
draw_button()

I was able to get it figured out, thanks!
