Hi,
If I've understood your make next correctly your log looks a bit like this:
12:00 An awesome song
Make Next 13:00 My 20 Second Cut away
Make Next 13:20 Program Feature
If this is correct, you don't need the make next on 13:20, it will play
20 seconds after the cut away by virtue of the cut aways make next.
As for the no audio event. How about inserting a log marker, these show
up highlighted in blue. If you create an event that is just a place
holder then right click on the pre-import section and click add marker,
you can type some text in to let the presenters know whats happening.
You don't actually make the scheduler import any songs for these marker
events.
Is this what you need?

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".
