Hi, unfortunately "Wait up" means it waits exactly the time and then start the event. I always combine "wait up" with a "make next", like Peter suggest.
E.g.: 00:59:45 make next (empty macro, "cleans up" the log at this time) 01:00:00 wait up to 3 minutes (cart with time announcement) If the song ends between 00:59:45 and 1:03:00, then the announcement will be broadcast after that song. A song will only be interrupted, when its longer then 3:15 (assuming it is starting at 00:59:44.9). In our case just in a few cases the songs are interrupted. (this is the night schedule) For news we use the same approach, but with 1min wait-up-to time. Still, I think a real "wait up to" would be nice. Can anybody tell me, for what this "delayed hard time" (which sounds for me as a more accurate label for this feature) is useful?
