Real time scheduling - how to set up? [SOLVED]

I have already asked this question under a separate topic, but it was at the bottom of an unrelated thread, so may have been missed.

Simple question - how do I set up multiple realtime scheduled events in FS? I'm sure it must be very simple!

Here's a typical scenario:
I want all the fixtures off for most of the day, then to go red for 5 minutes at 17.00. I assume I should therefore set a cue timed for 17.00 to turn them all red, then set a second cue timed for 17.05 to turn all the fixtures off? Individually those 2 sequences work fine, but when I add them to the cue page the off command seems to override the on command, so I get nothing. I'm probably going about it the wrong way, but I'd be grateful if someone could explain how it should be done.

Thanks

You have it right. The 2nd cue should not be playing untill 17.05.00. Is it playing? Take a screen shot n we can c if anything is amiss

Sorted. I discovered that I'd set up the sequences as transparent. If I set them up as static it works perfectly. Many thanks.
