The number of seconds that must elapse before the Stinger can be used again.
If the Trigger calls this Stinger within the specified number of seconds, the Trigger is ignored or dropped. A message saying that the Stinger could not be played will appear in the Capture Log. Note that the “don’t play Stinger again for” time is relative to the stinger’s synchronization point, that is, the moment in time where the stinger’s entry cue occurs.
For example, say you have a segment with 1 second-long beats, which defines a Stinger that has a 1.5 second long pre-entry, a “next beat” synchronization rule, and a “don’t play Stinger again” property of 3 seconds. Imagine now that this segment is playing and that the cursor is precisely over a beat boundary when the Trigger is posted. Because of its 1.5 second long pre-entry, the stinger’s entry cue cannot be synchronized to the next segment’s beat, so it is synchronized to the next beat instead (that is, in 2 seconds). Consequently, all Triggers that will be posted for the next 5 seconds (2 seconds before synchronization time, plus 3 seconds of “don’t play again time”) will be dropped.
Furthermore, this time value is inclusive. For example, with a “don’t play again” time of 0, all Triggers are dropped until the synchronization point is reached, inclusively. It is thus impossible to have two or more Stingers scheduled precisely at the same time.
