Running Rivendell 2.10.3 from Tryphon on Linux Mint 17 with no .x
upgrade.

We are running 2 logs--nothing but the day's music in the Main log, with
all stopsets and any program length material in the Aux 1 log.  This
method eliminates the necessity of daily reviewing hourly log timings,
as we are an all-volunteer station with no volunteers to do that job,
which is pretty time intensive without the help of additional scheduling
software.

At the end of the day's music log in Main, there is a make-next marker,
set for 23:30 at the point of about a half-hour of music remaining,
which insures the music log rollover occurs fairly close to midnight.

On several days, we run 5 to 8 hours of paid programming in Aux 1 that
extends to midnight.  The problem I'm facing is that when those programs
are running in Aux 1 and the Main log of music is stopped waiting for a
restart macro command from Aux 1 and that near end-of-day make-next
marker in the Main log executes, it also starts the next event in the
Main log, so we have 2 audio sources playing at once--one from each log.
This happens whether I use a make-next marker or use a song as the
make-next event.  On other days, when the Main log is playing and the
make-next marker executes, it does not start the next event, but truly
only does a make-next advance down to the proper event.  (On normal
days, the make-next music advance never occurs when Aux 1 is playing, so
this is a problem that only surfaces when the paid programming is
airing.)

If I sit at the computer and do a manual make-next in the Main log while
it is stopped and Aux 1 is playing, it does NOT start the next event,
but dutifully just advances the log list and waits on the Aux 1 macro to
restart it.

Is this a bug somewhere in the system? or am I using the wrong command
to advance a stopped log so it stays stopped but begins with a later
event when restarted?
