When Jesus healed 10 lepers, only one came back to say "Thanks".  I'd like to 
be remembered as the one who came back.

We now have the simplest of Rivendell operations running quietly and dependably 
and we're about to throw it on-line replacing the old IDJC system.  Now it's up 
to me to comb knats out of the program flow.  May I throw out 2 questions from 
an amateur to those who have already "invented the wheel"?

Problem one:  I routinely over-program music in quarter-hours in music clock 
hours and use a MAKE NEXT for the cutaway at 13:00 after.  The problem comes 
with the next small feature which has a START TIME of 13:20.  When the ending 
song hits 13:00 it correctly dumps excess and goes to the cutaway.  BUT if the 
music goes yet another 20-seconds to 13:20 it makes the feature next-to-play 
and dumps the cutaway.  How can I make the varying contents of each break line 
up and wait their turn even though they are technically "late"?  Or do I have 
to make all parts of a particular break one EVENT to force them to stay in line?

Problem two:  (a cosmetic one)  How do get an event with TIME but no AUDIO to 
actually SHOW UP on the scrolling log?  Right now I have a full hours of LIVE 
worship service programming plugged into the grid.  But when the log is 
generated any such live event reads as a REPEAT of the previous program during 
AirPlay.  Rivendell executes correctly:  it stops and waits for one hour and 
then automatically restarts on time.  But it's confusing to look at on the 
AirPlay log.  What's the "amateur" solution you've discovered?  

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on either of these.  I think it may be 
quite a while until I feel qualified to offer any advice from here.  I'm a 
"taker" rather than a "giver".
