			Your carillon strikes the hour on time. Time strikes, chime melodies and the Angelus are given precedence over ordinary weekly music. They will not delete other weekly events from the schedule, but time strikes and prayer bells ''will'' delay the other weekly events. Even though the chime melody and hour strike are separate selections, they are always treated as one event. If either the chime melody or hour strike are cancelled due to another event, the other part of the time strike will also be cancelled. You will not hear half the time strike.

			A Monthly, Annual, or One Time event (the "less frequent" event types) will take precedence over time strikes or Angelus bells in some situations. If one of the less frequent events overlaps the time a strike is scheduled, that strike will not play. Instead you will hear the less frequent event. If they are scheduled to ''start or end'' at the same time, you will hear both the time strike and the special, less frequent, event.
