1. Hour Select & Tempo Policy Indicator
Each shell consists of 24 hours labeled in military time from 0 (midnight) to 23 (11PM).
There is also an indication of which tempo policy is active in each hour of the shell. 
Set the tempo number to 0 to exempt that shell hour from tempo policies.

Edit Window

2. Edit Window
 
 
This Edit Shell window allows users to insert:
a) Audio files from the categories (IDs, Liners, Jingles, etc.)
b) Music Categories
c) Stop Set Slot Commands for Commercial breaks (9201, 9202, etc.) to be filled from External Traffic Programs
d) Music Slot Commands (9993) to catch Music from 3rd Party Music programs
e) Commands such as Announce the Time or Announce the Temperature
f) End of Hourly Time Update - Last Event In Hour
 
 
NOTE:
Log List
Adding events to this Edit Shell window is straight forward and all that users need to do is think of the Line Items placed in a sequential order that would replicate the programming desired.
This Log List will, in essence, build and produce programming that generates the "Sound of the Radio Station". 
It will become the On Air log.
 
DRAG &  DROP
This Log List window is fully Drag & Drop, which means if things aren't on the Log List as you want them, simply Drag an event / Line Item by clicking and holding down the left mouse button on a Line Item or event and moving it to where you want it.

Add Audio Cut

3. Add Audio Cut
This button pulls up the window below allowing you to select any audio file in the database.
You can also put a cut number in the search box and click Search.
Click the cut and click the select button to insert it in the shell.
 
One other feature to note here is Exact Time.
If you put a time (MMSS) in the box, the item will Cue To Be Next at that time in the hour. 
This is good for an item before a StopSet to keep the playlist on track.
 
If you check the Enable box and put a time (MMSS) in the box, the item will play at EXACTLY that time in the hour.
It will fade the currently playing item and skip any unplayed items between the current item and the Exact Time item. 
This is useful for joining a sporting event or remote at the correct time.
