Script rules and overlays.

[hdradio]

I need to play some sweepers every (about) +15min +45min (not at fixed times but between songs at about that time) with transition starting with next of previous song.
I couldn't find a way of doing this.
So I decided to play those sweepers at random times and went to solution of script lines. I set:
1. song
2. song.
3. sweeper (with transition)
4. song
....
Unfortunately there were times where a Time Announce overlay had to play and the result was the sweeper to play over Time Announce.
Script rules does not solve this problem because it works only for script lines and not for overlays.

Any help here ?

I guess I see what you mean and I guess I now also understand your FTE vs. TrackInsertTransition question.
Today it would the easiest to use a script in 'Sequenial' mode and the use a TrackInsertTransition at fixed script-lines, e.g.:
1. song
2. song
3. song
4. song
5. sweeper (with transition)
6. song
7. song
...
13. sweeper (with transition)
..
But you are right, this is not perfect and easy..

So I'll look into the FTE with Transition issue to be added...

In v3.0.13.3 a new StartType=Manual was added, which allows you to use Track-Insert-Transitions directly with FixTimeElements.

Note, that the Manual start type means, the track is not started exactly at the given fixed start time, but only added to approximately that time.
