A lot of times, depending on your traffic software, it could be easy have 
traffic add these elements in as part of the break. If it can be done as part 
of a "traffic template" (usually on an hour by hour basis, if I understand 
correctly) then once it is set up, they don't have to deal with it on a day to 
day basis.

I have one client who does this:

1) Creates a music schedule, assuming there will be no spots at all. Each
commercial break is filled with a song, and has a liner in front and
another afterwards.

2) Creates a traffic schedule.

3) Runs a script to merge the traffic schedule into the music schedule,
dropping the "fill song" from each break as the spots are added.

4) Imports the merged log into Rivendell. Filled breaks will run as liner,
spots, liner; unfilled breaks will run as liner, song, liner.
