Filtering RandomSequentialStartLine

Is it possible to filter RandomSequentialStartLine? For example if I have
1. Mode=Random, Entry=Library A, Count=1
2. Mode=Random, Entry=Library B, Count=1
3. Mode=Random, Entry=Liners, Count=1
4. Mode=Random, Entry=Library C, Count=1
5. Mode=Random, Entry=Library D, Count=1
6. Mode=Random, Entry=Jingles, Count=1
...
and I want it to start on any line except lines 3 and 6, is there any way to do that?

The next version will include a new 'ExcludeWithRandomStartLine' script-line option - pretty much like you already suggested!
The next version will hopefully out in the next couple of days.

No, this is unfortunately not possible at the moment.

Alright, thanks for letting me know.
Should I create a Wish List thread or will this thread be enough? What I had in mind was an option on the script line that excludes it from RandomSequentialStartLine but maybe you have something else in mind.

It is enough here. I need to check what is possible on Monday.
You might also take a look at the script header option, as this allows you to dynamically add Jingles and/or Liners (Adverts) at frequent or random times automatically. See the Jingles and Advert header option. These simply take random tracks from any cartwall library. Eg. you might setup you current Liner and Jingle media libs as cartwall libs.

It's something I was going to look into but there's a couple music libs that I was wanting to exclude too so the original request would still be needed.
On the Jingles/Liners note, can you have it alternate between two different libs in a pattern eg. Liner, Jingle, Liner; Liner, Jingle, Linger; etc.?

No that pattern is not available with the header option. I will take a look how your original request can somehow be implemented.
