MusicONE is designed to schedule each and every song in a category the same number of times (hour-restricted songs, excepted) and to do it without violating any of our formatting or music flow rules. Doing so requires some human edits during scheduling sessions for most music directors. Three to a dozen edit-stops per schedule is typical. If it takes you more than ten minutes to get a log completed, you may request an exam of your formatting and rules interaction. It should take less than five minutes a day to get a violation-free schedule each day.
