;Almanac Selected Music Mode

: ~~When you choose this, the~~ music that ~~plays will be selected from a seasonally~~ appropriate ~~list~~. ~~Unless otherwise specified, the~~ music will be shuffled so the songs ~~don't~~ always ~~play~~ in the same order.

: Schedule your weekly music concerts so that the [[SmartAlmanac_AX|SmartAlmanac]]<sup>TM</sup> makes the appropriate title selections for the time of year. The music will be shuffled to prevent the songs from always playing in the same order. Just set it and forget it.

: If you would like to schedule music to play regularly throughout the week, you can choose Almanac Selected Music so you don't hear the same repeating songs. Choosing Almanac Selected Music means that on the date and ~~time you have chosen, random yet seasonally appropriate music will play so you can take advantage of our expansive library~~.

: For example, if you would like to hear a song every Monday at 7pm, you can schedule a specific title like Amazing Grace, and every Monday at 7pm, no matter the time of year, Amazing Grace will play. Alternatively, you can choose Almanac Selected Music. You will always hear a different song on Monday at 7pm. When in the Christmas season, the song Monday at 7pm will be a Christmas song. This happens automatically with all the seasons you have enabled. During days which are not holidays, appropriate general hymns and songs will be chosen.

~~: Please note: Random or Almanac Selected Music does NOT mean that music will play at random times. Only the days and times you have selected will sound.~~

: or Call to Mass, is often announced before the beginning of service by a swinging bell. The time is completely customizable but often, churches choose to start a one-minute swinging bell five minutes before service. Some churches choose to play music in addition to or instead of a swinging bell to call people to service.

: Any bell will remain in motion for a little bit after it is swung. Expect some time for the bells to decay naturally before the next event.

: Please note: If you are swinging real bells, ~~it is our professional recommendation to wait~~ two minutes ~~before the next event~~ to prevent ~~harm~~ to the ~~bells and parts~~.

: Please note: If you are swinging real bells, the system will inhibit all stationary ringing for at least two minutes to prevent damage to the ringing mechanism.
