Limitations and assumptions

Short breaks are included in elapsed intervals labeled continuous work. No Equity rule, legal compliance or fatigue assessment is embedded.

Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Matrices are limited to 128 rows and 128 entries per row. Numeric lists are limited to 10,000 entries; string lists to 128 strings of at most 128 characters each. The rules above may impose smaller limits. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Rehearsal Room Hourly Block Divider Tool: Booking blocks include work periods separated by reset gaps. A leftover tail should not silently become a shorter final block. For a complementary task, use Stagehand Call Hours Load In Out Estimator: Load-in and load-out calls may have separate minimum paid durations. A phase with no worked call should remain distinguishable.
