HOW to set up OR timetable

[bprice]

I have been experimenting with the timetable and so far I like the results. I have been trying to figure our some of the start menu settings and where we get these settings.

1. Timetable Set: Apparently each spreadsheet is a different timetable set. So one set could be for the Modern Era and another for the early diesel or the steam era. Is that correct?
2. Timetable: Are there different timetables for a given timetable set? How are these set up in the spreadsheet? and how are they used.
3. The train is self explanatory.

This would be helpful.

Thanks
Basil

There can be as many timetables as one likes to have, but presently a timetable can only be a direct, single timetable file.
The longer term intention is to make it possible to collect multiple timetable files (i.e. multiple spreadsheets) into a single timetable.
This requires a new file-type (timetable list), and it has been agreed that such new files must be in JSON format. It is not realistic to expect users to edit JSON directly with a text-editor, so a menu to build such a timetable list must be added as well. That's still missing, so timetable lists are not yet available.
The main menu, on the other hand, has already been prepared to accept and process such timetable lists. That's why there is this additional 'layer' named Timetable.
So, presently, the timetable file can only contain a single timetable, and the Timetable entry in the menu offers no selection.
Once the new additional menu is available, the 'top' layer can be timetable list, and the Timetable entry can be used to select the required timetable from the timetables included in the list.
