PPENDING A TRAIN
1. When a train is added to a playlist using a drag-and-drop operation or the
APPEND button, it is inserted in the playlist as a DELAY of 2 seconds with an
undefined OUT point. This is because of a delay when playing a record train
from another XT[2] server which cannot be played LIVE, so all trains are
treated the same for this operation.
2. A train inserted or appended into a playlist will be stopped only manually when
played out.

An element can be inserted into the playlist by a drag and drop operation. Proceed
as follows:
1. Select the element you want to insert in the playlist by clicking it in one of
the places listed in section ‘Possible Operations’ on page 42.
2. Drag it onto the playlist grid at the position where you want to insert the
element. The drop position is displayed by a black thicker line in-between
the elements where the element will be inserted.
The element is inserted before or after the selected element in the list depending
on the ‘Insert mode in playlist’ parameter of the Tools > Settings > Playlist >
Playlist / General category. For more information see the section 1.8.1 ‘General
Settings’ on page 102.
Rules when Inserting a Playlist in Another One
When a Playlist 2 is inserted into a playlist 1, it is inserted as a group:
• If the playlist 2 is inserted inside a group of the playlist 1, the elements of
playlist 2 are inserted at the drop position and the group is extended.
• If the playlist 2 is inserted outside any group in playlist 1, playlist 2 elements
are inserted as a goup at the drop position in playlist 1.
Note
If the dropped playlist initially contained some groups, they are not kept
when it is inserted in the other playlist.
