Early out marker should favor the following song

When there is an Early Out marker, it should still favor the following song. For example, if the sweeper or voice track can play entirely over the following song's intro, it should do that. It should only use some of the previous track's "early out" section if necessary. This would help to ensure forward momentum is maintained.

Agree 100%, this has prevented me from implementing early out cues on our station.

Jack Doyle commented

Mike - Yes. I think there should be an option somewhere, maybe in the clock position, or attached to songs, or something... I'm not sure how it would best be implemented but: - Prefer first song - Balance (as it is now) - Prefer second song If it's not something that a good option can be implemented for, then I think most people would agree that it should run up against the post in the second song (assuming the voiceover is as long or longer than the intro of the second song).

“This is available as of PlayIt Live 2.16”

Jack Doyle commented

Jason - I am running 2.16 and it does not work this way. It's still splitting it down the middle, using early out time on the first track when there is time that could have been used on the second track.

Jason Allen commented

You are correct. This is not what was implemented. The feature that was added was Early Out on Sweepers which means that the song will start playing at the Early Out point on the sweeper. There have been no changes to how sweepers are spread across the Early Out on the previous song with the Sweep Start. If you want to favour the intro, use Sweep Intro segue style.
