While it is true that the chain-to event is a timed event, in some way or
other all events are, it is not a hard timed event unless you make it so.

Subject: Re: [RDD] Chain To Woes
Rob, the issue is that when you select the checkbox to add the Chain-To event
at the end of your logs, it creates the Chain-To as a Timed Event. So if it
fires before midnight, then the next day's log loads (which also has a Timed
Event at midnight to load the NEXT day's log) and it gets triggered when
midnight actually hits. Effectively skipping a day's log.
Adding manually pasting some extra music into the last hour can
avoid this. And I imagine it's possible to make a special clock for
the 11pm hour that has a chain-to event that is NOT a timed event.
I think that's what I'll end up having to do -- because I don't see
any way to make the system generated one anything but a timed event.

It may put your time off a little if you are running early but just chain the
next day at the end of your log. No timed event.
