How can I externally schedule timed events into a music log?

 

Or should I be looking at an hour clock that combines a couple of events
that load the external music log either side of a timed event late in the
hour?

 

Ideally I want to include a 'make next' event around 58:30 in the hour to
drop any overfilled music

 

At present I have followed Fred's wiki advice and have an hour clock with
one event in it that contains an import from music setting with
first/imported carts set to 'segue'

 

The event is programmed in the hr clock to run from 00:00 to 59:59

 

All is good, music fills the hour but at this point no timed events...

 

I did move the timing of the import music event back to 57:59 and added a
'make next' timed event at 58:00 followed by another 'import music' event
from 58:01 to 59:59

 

I found when the music logs imported that  if music was scheduled to start
after 58:01 it was placed after the 'make next' event - not ideal.

 

Perhaps I should have a 'make next' set early at the start of each hour
(00:05) and then fill the rest of the hour with music etc?

 

Separately (but related) I'm interested to learn more about the 'post import
carts' and 'import inline traffic with the..' options in the edit event
screen - I'm wondering if that could be a way forward to schedule timed
events?

 

I'd also appreciate info about the 'edit service' section where music data
imports are configured.

 

Whilst I have a music log importing  I am not using 'contract #' 'event ID'
or 'Annc. Type' - what are these fields and can any be used to tell
Rivendell what type of event (timed) to schedule?

 

What is the use of the 'pre import command' and 'note cart string' options?

 

Thanks for your help / info... I have looked about on the wiki but can't
find too much on these areas asides the basic set up.

 

Cheers, Paul.
