Hi boss! Thanks so much for the quick reply (and for the whole software which has been all too helpful!)

Giving your suggestion a try - and realise it would be a good feature in future versions that we can filter by the durations of sub-activities in constraints windows   

Sorry for repeating this theme if it has been raised before (which is very probable!)

Is there a way to ask FET to prefer scheduling activities with a duration of 2 in certain slots?

To be a bit clearer, there are 7 lessons a day in my school. Various subjects have double lessons in various grades. And I hope either

(a) most double lessons are in lessons 1-2 or in lessons 6-7, or
(b) most lessons 1-2 and lessons 6-7 are double lessons.

I believe there is a subtle difference between these two. So any suggestion or clever workarounds that can achieve either of these would be great! (I would prefer version (b).)

This is what I have tried and am quite satisfied with the result already: As there are two teachers who only have double lessons, I have marked them unavailable in all lessons 3-5. I believe this has already sped up the generation by quite a bit, and have put around 60% of the double lessons into my preferred slots. What are your thoughts or better suggestions?
