Scheduler: Timing of Multiple Events

This one has been a problem for a while: we want to generate a multi-hour playlist with an introductory track at the start ("It's time for jazz on MyRadioStation...").  But Playlist Generator Pro takes a while to create the playlist (1-2 minutes, or more) so we want to wait until the playlist is there before inserting the intro track.  But it's never a fixed amount of delay.  Ideally we'd want to chain the two events together so the second runs after the first is done.  Is there a way to do this with the current software?
 
Yes, it's possible.

An event to create and save a playlist (without playback):
run PlaylistGeneratorPro.exe -preset=PRESET -out=D:\playlist.m3u8
This command will generate a playlist and save it to a file. Change PRESET and playlist path accordingly.

Add another event to start the saved playlist (D:\playlist.m3u8 in the example)
 
I hope so :)

By the way, it's a documented feature: http://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/using_playlist_generator_pro.htm (at the very end).
