I think that will be OK.
A clock lasts an hour and is then scheduled som for example you could put the "Tuesday" clock in every hour on Tuesday and the "Wednesday" clock in every hour on Wednesday.
The tricky bit is handling hour over and under runs.
I think what you are seeing is a result of "the duration of a track group item
is determined from the average duration of all the tracks in the group"
(page 155 of the PDF manual).
As with most highly capable software PlayIt Live has quite a steep learning curve.
The best thing to do is find a spare computer, install it and play with it, letting it run.
My number one tip is to think long and hard about your music folder structure as how you make the library will influence how well rotation works.
Ah that's great. Thanks so much. I hadn't realised that the duration was an average of all in the group. I had thought that it represented a specific track.
That's very helpful, thanks!

Hello!
I'm new to Playit LIve and this is my first post in the forum.
I've made my first Clock and was hoping to clone it so that I could have the same Clock for the next day, but with different continuity announcement etc. I'm a bit worried though that this will mean that the exact same songs will play in the cloned versions.
For clarity, my exact case is that I have a clock called 'Monday - 30's, 40's, 50's' This has a day-specific continuity announcement at the start, then is just made up with the Track Groups '30's', '40's' and '50's'. I've made a clone of the this clock, retitled it 'Tuesday - 30's, 40's, 50's', and put in the Tuesday continuity announcement. Now will the Tuesday clock have the exact same songs, even though each track group entry has the 'Smart Selection' track scheduling strategy selected?
I had thought that this would mean that even though it was cloned, it would still have a different selection of tracks, but it looks like all the times are identical to Monday's clock, so I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance!
