I guess I see your issue.
The event is suppressed… but, you are always writing with each event the next track. And ‚LIAL Sang…‘ is the next track. And this can of course not suppressed!

You can see, that the excluded event is working, that ‚LIAL Sang…‘ will NOT be written as the current track!

The exclude option will work on the events, but can not word on macros.

If I need to configure a template that outputs the current and next track within the Music genre (from the playlist) and write this to a text file, would this be possible?

No, as if you write the current and the next track, this is what it is doing, writing the current and next track.

There is no option to write the next (music only) track and skip any non-music tracks in between.

But this might be handled by a post processor app or your RDS app. I.e. if you write the media type and the track name, such post processor can skip/ignore any non-music entries.
