In ATPro, when building a clock, you have the option to unmark any log item to make it not droppable by Myriad (also do not fade option too I believe). Now, we have several pre-recorded shows which go out regularly, and the clocks are built up of pre-rec voice link carts and a semi-fixed playlist of songs. Some of the songs must stay in the log (not to be dropped) so I mark those in the clocks in ATPro. All the others and the idents are chosen by ATPro when scheduling according to show and station rules. however... Although I unmark them in the clocks, when it comes to Myriad playing it back, I see that it drops the songs if it feels like it, even though they were marked to not be dropped in playback. Very annoying. Is there some way to sort this like a setting I've missed (quite likely!)?
One other thing, when scheduling, and despite the "update song information when sending schedule" option unticked, ATPro still sometimes updates song information! It takes ages and always seems to happen when I'm in a hurry to leave. Is it some automatic setting that ATPro does to make sure that Myriad is constantly up-to-date or is it not working as it should?
We're on v3.1.43. Thanks Adam
