Attributes

From the Files menu, choose Attributes.

Attributes are musical characteristics that you may define for each title. They will be used in Scheduling Rules to establish the flow of your station's music. You may define up to nine attributes, each with five traits.

Here are some samples of possible music attributes and their possible traits:
 

Tempo Slow, Medium, or Up (or 1,2,3,4, and 5)
Sound Pop, Mass-Appeal, Country, Traditional, Twangy
Artist Old, Has-Been, Superstar, New
Seasonal Xmas, Summer
Gender Male, Female, Girl Group, Boy Group, Instrumental
Lyric Depressing, Sad, Topical, Upper
Style Metal, Rock, Mainstream, Pop, Dance


In the Attributes Definition section, you'll see nine boxes... one for each attribute you define.



With the keyboard, use {Alt+[number]} to move to the attribute you want. Edit the attribute name (e.g. Gender) and press {Enter} to activate that attribute's box. Enter each trait with a code-letter and name (e.g.: F Female...). You must use a different code-letter for each trait in an attribute set
