autosplits for special stages

Has anyone created autosplits for the special stages? I'm planning an All Emeralds run and would love to have a second timer running that splits each time I get an emerald.

Yeah, the autosplitter supports separate blue sphere splits. You'll want a completely separate copy of livesplit for the secondary timer.

In the main timer you can tick the setting "Pause for Blue Sphere stages", and add 2 extra splits before Mushroom Hill 1 and Hidden Palace, and it will add the total time spent in blue spheres for those halves in one go.

For the secondary timer, you can use the game name of "Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Bonus Stages Only", and the timer will be paused outside of blue spheres, and will start upon entry and stop upon exit. https://www.speedrun.com/s3k/run/yw4e1l9z is an example of it working - for that video the S3 Half had the chaos emeralds split just before LB2, but it was changed to after, when routing was found that you could use a big ring in LB2 for the final Chaos Emerald, before moving onto the Super Emeralds.
