Hello, us again!

We are currently re-building clocks for our automation hours and we're wondering the best way in which to end the hours E.G. Not having to add surplus tracks to the clock to accommodate any short comings in the Song-Link-Song-Link chain. 

As we understand it, links cannot be dropped or faded, for this reason at present we add tracks to the end of the hour back to back, meaning that for perhaps 5-7 minutes at the end of the hour we have back to back songs and it sounds pretty rubbish and predictable.

Does anyone know of a better way to end the hour so we can maintain our format but not have 3-4 links play if songs have been dropped? 

As well as this, we are looking to tidy up our advert breaks and make them more consistent. Does anyone know of a way that we can add a sort of, 'Soft' absolute time so we can start an advert break at say 18-22 minutes past the hour or at any other time such as this?

We are using Myriad version 3.6 with autotrack pro.

Thank you!
Oliver
