This includes weekly, monthly, annual and one-time events, time strikes and any scheduled Angelus or call to worship. If you have chosen Almanac Selected Music, the titles will be specified in these two tabs. If you have scheduled more than one selection starting or ending at the same time, those will be assigned to specific minutes to play in the order they were added.

You may use this button, not only to see why a selection played, but make modifications to all of the reasons (scheduled time, title's album membership, album's seasonal membership, and season's date range) this particular selection played at this particular time by clicking one of the reason buttons. You may also remove the title from the Almanac so that it never plays randomly again.
