I see the problem, but the solution you propose would not be easy to implement since the 'value' of 'icmp3' changes with each time-slot, and I have no idea how to implement it into the current structure. I'm not sure whether moving each 'Fill-in Title for ID3 Tag' within the Switch schedule would be feasible. I have an uneasy gut feeling it will not work. What about an easier appoach? How about renaming the 'fill_in' like this (keeping the fill_in() within sstol's 'Show-block'): # === SSTOL === ... sstol = sequence([a,b,c,d,e)] # Fill-in Title for ID3 Tag . . . sstol = fill_in(sstol) <=== changed from 'icmp3 = ...' # Switch Schedule icmp3 = mksafe(...switch(...sstol)) output(...icmp3) Would this work, or would 'icmp3' become unknown in the process? I hope this will do the trick since it would involve changing only a few lines of code. It sure would be wonderful to have it work as expected!
