5.0.4 Track Markers
A track marker is another meta event that is very similar in operation to note markers,
with one key addition: track markers designate or “bookmark” a place in the log where a
voice track is to be recorded. (The entire topic of voice tracks and tracking will be
covered in detail in Chapter Eight). As with note markers, track markers have absolutely
no effect on the execution of a log.
5.0.5 Chain Events
A third type of meta event is the chain event. Unlike markers, a chain event has a very
definite effect when executed in a log: namely, causing a new log (whose name is
specified as part of the event) to be loaded and executed. Chain events are often placed at
the very end of a log, typically just before midnight so as to cause a new log to load for
the next broadcast day.
5.0.6 Import Links
An import link is a placeholder event that shows where events imported from the
external music or traffic scheduling system will eventually go. They will be covered in
detail in the chapter on RDLogManager.
Each event in a Rivendell log can have its parameters modified by touching its entry in
the Edit Log dialog and then clicking the Edit button, thus opening up the Edit Log Entry
dialog, shown in Illustration 21 for a cart event, or Illustration 22 for a meta event.
