Name=Intro
Length=3.27
Normal=no
Repeat=yes

Normal=no keeps the track off the automatic playlist, so the game does not pick it when the current track ends. The track is also missing from the sound options track list, and the next track and previous track commands skip it.

The playlist never picks a track with Normal=no. When no track is allowed, the playlist plays nothing.

The setting does not stop other ways of starting the track. A scenario’s Theme=, the Play music theme trigger action and the Play music team mission all play it. So do the main menu, map selection, the score screen and ion storms, which request their tracks by ID. The main menu can request INTRO, so the example track plays there, and Repeat=yes keeps it looping.

Scenario= and Side= can also keep a track with Normal=yes off the playlist. Choosing the next track lists every condition a track must meet.
