Song Language

Hi guys,

I have a question about planning certain songs.
In my database i have mostly english and dutch languaged songs…
Now what I want to do is make sure no 2 dutch songs will be scheduled right after eachother.
How to do this? I can make a format wich includes certain attributes.
Is there a possiblity to make like a music template with the rule… ‘Only 1 dutch language during that block’? or maybe ‘Not 2 same dutch language planned after eachother?’
I really wonder how to do this…
maybe someone can help me?

There is no rule you can apply in order to avoid two Dutch songs back to back.

You have to adjust your music template. One way of doing this is to add an extra attribute to your songs: e.a. language. This can be done in the Config app. -> Miscellaneous -> Standard Attributes -> Add language (or “taal”) I should make a Text Field with drop-down option list. Add some values: e.g. Nederlands, Engels, Spaans etc.

Now adjust all your songs by stating the language in the Property’s, on the attribute-page you will find your language attribute.

In the music template you can add a filter stating the language that can or cannot be picked: “!” will necogiate the filter, meaning the filter !dutch will pick all songs but a dutch song.

Good luck!
