Over run / Under run when pre-recording

Hi,

I've been volunteering at a local radio station for a few months now and they use Myriad.

I do two shows a week live.

But now I'm doing a third which is pre-recorded.

In "live mode" it will tell you how much over run / under run you have to the next "absolute time" which enables me to search for a track of specific length to fill the gap.

However when pre-recording it says on each item (including absolute times) what time they will happen based on the current items on the log.  However it doesn't tell you the over run / under run to the next absolute time.

Is there anyway to get it to show the over run / under run in pre-record (seg edit) mode as it does when running live?

I dont think underun/overrun works unless at the clock is at the exact time of the show.

we use a 2 minute silence cart, which we throw into our voice tracked shows, this firstly accounts for the 2 minute news bulletin,
then you can backtime to perfection with an end or sustain every time.
just remember to remove your 2 minute silence cart, then you cant possibly overun/underun.
