A number of important attributes of carts can be seen from this

illustration. First is the cart's number. Each cart in the Library

gets assigned a unique number when it is created. This number can

which types of audio (commercials, promos, music, etc) and macros get

assigned which numbers. We'll cover this area in some detail when

we discuss groups.

<note>
|

Cart numbers in Rivendell are commonly displayed so that they
|

always have six digits, even if that means adding leading zeros
|

to the numbers --e.g. cart '123' will be displayed as '000123'.
|
||||
This convention is used as a visual reminder that the value in

question is a Rivendell cart number, but it is perfectly valid to use
|

numbers without the leading zeros when inputting cart numbers into

Rivendell.

(NOTE: the exceptions to this are the Start / End markers, which

are always present and hence cannot be removed.)
|

|
||||
to indicate the absolute start and end of the cut when played on-air.
|
||||
To adjust the position of the markers, position the mouse cursor
|
||||
over one of the arrows on the marker, press and hold the left-hand
|
||||
mouse button and drag it to the desired location. The marker's
|
||||
arrows will become larger to indicate that the marker has been
