There are three approaches to this: 1) put all events of a specific type in their own band 2) write a function to put all events of a specific type in their own track within a band. 3) hardcode the track number in the event data itself
Option 1 is useful when you might have overlapping events of the same type - they'll get put into different tracks automatically, but still grouped within a band, and not mixed with other events. Option 2 requires some custom coding, but gives you flexibility. You'll have to figure out if you need to worry about overlapping events. For example, if person A works from January to March and from July to August, will the event tape and label for Jan-Mar collide with the tape/label for Jul-Aug? Option 3 is easiest to do, but gives you the least flexibility to control what happens with overlapping events, or if you want to dynamically change track layout/order, etc. (You decide you want Person C before A and B). --Mike On May 14, 2012, at 2:14 AM, Ravee wrote: > Hi > > We are using Timeline to create duration events corresponding to > people.
