The trouble starts when a teacher leads a Saturday ensemble and also needs private lessons that day. Both have to live on the same board, or one of them gets double-booked.
Many tools track private lessons in one place and classes in another. Then a private lesson lands on top of a rehearsal because neither system knew about the other.
In Set the Tune, a class a teacher is teaching blocks that teacher’s time for private lessons, in the optimizer and in the import step. Place the class first and the privates fill in around it.
A class can have two teachers, and both are held for its whole length. If one of them already has a lesson at that hour, you see the conflict instead of finding it on the day.
Venues are saved once and reused. A recurring class stays attached to its room or studio, and a class with no season yet is parked rather than lost when you roll to a new term.
A teacher with a morning class and afternoon privates still needs a lunch break and a day they can actually work. The conflict engine counts class time as worked time, so a long Saturday shows up as long.
It also keeps the drive honest. If the class is across town from the first private lesson, the gap between them has to cover the trip, not just the clock.
Yes. Group classes sit on the same board as private lessons, and a class blocks the teacher’s time for other lessons.
Yes. Co-taught classes hold both teachers, and a conflict for either one is flagged.
The optimizer places private lessons around your classes. You set the classes yourself, then it schedules the rest.
Classes with no season are parked and can be attached to the new one, so you do not rebuild them.
Yes. It counts as worked time for the day cap and for meal-break checks.
