;Season

: ~~affects what music will play for random music events~~. ~~Each season is associated with a holiday~~. Seasons can be enabled and disabled based on user preferences. ~~When you enable a~~ season~~, the random~~ music ~~during~~ that ~~time will be appropriate for~~ the ~~holiday. During days which are not holidays~~, appropriate ~~general hymns and songs~~ will ~~be chosen~~.

: Seasons are days or ranges of days defined in the SmartAlmanac. Seasons can either be defined by annual dates or in relation to movable dates such as Easter (both Eastern and Western calendars are supported). Seasons can be enabled and disabled based on user preferences. Albums of season appropriate music are linked to each season so that when the season becomes active, appropriate music will play.

;SmartAlmanac™

: ~~After answering initial questions,~~ the AX system ~~knows what seasons~~ and ~~holidays you celebrate~~. ~~Even Easter dates, daylight savings time~~ and ~~custom days are automatically recognized and any scheduled Almanac Selected Music will reflect that~~. ~~Almanac Selected Music will always follow the~~ SmartAlmanac~~™ unless otherwise noted~~.

: is what we call the intelligence that allows the ringing system to always play a variety of appropriate music with a simple set-it-and-forget-it Guided Setup. Decades of experience have informed the SmartAlmanac and Guided Setup menus to set up the SmartAlmanac seasons to satisfy most worship traditions.

: The AX enhancement of SmartAlmanac provides further customization to Chime Center users.

: 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.

;Swing
