Rotations

Use the Average Turnover chart to plan where songs in a category will play next, and see how adding or removing songs changes it.

Understand why the Average Turnover number can differ from the rotation chart for a category that only runs in some hours.

Know which chart shows what: the Average Turnover chart for the category, the Song Rotation chart for one song’s actual plays.

Fix the "category not included in any clock" message by entering your day formats in the Default Dayformat grid.

Read orange squares on the rotation prediction chart as a rules conflict, and fix the category so rules and rotation agree.

Get the repeat pattern you want, such as no repeats within 14 days, by sizing the category and using packets.

Keep Gold songs moving between dayparts with the right category size, and use the daypart rotation rule as the fail-safe.

See where to set how far back M1 looks when it keeps songs from repeating in the same daypart.

Fix poor rotation patterns the right way: set up a natural rotation first and use Flip only in rare cases.

Give the songs in a category more spins a week by adding units of that category to your format clocks.

Schedule one song every hour with a one-song category on an every-hour clock, and set its artist separation to match.

Understand why every song in a category gets equal spins, and give some currents fewer spins with hour restrictions or a packet.

Understand the Play Number, total plays and category spins, when new songs get scheduled, and whether a search-and-schedule counts.

Find out why cutting a song from a saved log makes M1 schedule it again soon, and how to avoid it by editing before you save.

See why a shuffle without "clear played flags" can make a song play too soon, and how to shuffle safely.

See a song’s past rotation while you schedule and edit, without opening the song card, and set how the chart is shown.

See where to change the Song Rotation Chart settings.

Check song rotations in a finished log by browsing song cards straight from the schedule.

Fix a "last played" date that doesn’t match the Song Rotation chart after an upgrade, by updating the last-played data.
