So I’ve never been fussy about hitting the top of hour IDs exactly, but usually they’re within a minute or two…

Except at midnight. During the week I tend to run two longer programs in the 11PM hour, the first of which may run longer than 1/2 hour, and the second timed at exactly 29 minutes. But I would expect my midnight legal ID (next day’s log), scheduled “timed, make next” at 00:00 to be the next event after midnight, even if it’s a few minutes after…

I've learned the hard way to be very careful with putting timed events anywhere near midnight.

You could put an ID just before midnight (say, 23:59:50) as a timed event set "start immediately", followed by the log chain. That will run your ID on time and start tomorrow's log, but at the expense of blowing away whatever remains of your 11 PM program.

The other way to do it is to set the ID up as a timed event an an aux log, followed by a chain t the same log. The ID will then play on top of the program running in the main log, which will then continue to run.
