For many of my smartlists - I use the Mix modifier to dial in specific elements like this example using my Rating tag:
15,10%,{[Rating]=5},90%,{[Rating]=1-4}
For this Smartlist - I'd like 15 songs - 10% with a 5 rating and the remaining 90% made of of songs with a rating anywhere from 1-4.
What I would like to do now is use Mix to get a percentage of songs from two existing Smartlists - something like this:
15,10%,{[SmartList A]},90%,{[SmartList B]}
I am wondering if it's possible - if so - how do I build this in Smartlist editor? Specifically the Mix expression - reference by Playlist ID? Or some other way?
Cheers!

Try this:
200,50%,{p="Name of playlist A"},50%,{p="Name of playlist B"}
use it with mix modifier, after that u should use ideally remove duplicates modifier

This - sort of works - except I only get 100 songs. Matter of fact - no matter what "mix" quantity I input - I get exactly half the number of tracks back.
Clearly something is not clicking with the "50%" - seems it's halving the amount of tracks that are in the smartlist.
Example: If I put
30,50%,{p="Name of playlist A"},50%,{p="Name of playlist B"}
I get 15 songs
If I put
10,50%,{p="Name of playlist A"},50%,{p="Name of playlist B"}
I get 5 songs.
What I want is if I put:
10,50%,{p="Name of playlist A"},50%,{p="Name of playlist B"}
I would like 10 songs - 50% of them coming from Smartlist A and the other 50% from Smartlist B
Possible?

Just double the number of tracks?
This seems like a bug but should be an easy workaround for now...what happens if you use a different % like 25?

If I do :
MIX: 30,25%,{p="Classic Rock Mix A},75%,{p = "Classic Rock Mix F"}
I get 7 songs?
Is my syntax actually correct?
Also - the above are Smartlists - not normal playlists. Is that a possible cause?

What's your real syntax?
It should be
~mix=30,50%,{p=...and so on
7 is approx 25% of 30 so it seems it's only taking the first #?
I've never tried to mix lists, when I have a chance I'll mess about
Edit:
I just used ~mix=50,50%,{p="female grunge singers"},50%,{p="female metal singers"}
Indeed, I got 50 tracks 25 from each smartlist

What's your real syntax?
[Media Type]=[Audio] ~mix=50,50%,{p="Classic Rock Mix A},50%,{p = "Classic Rock Mix F"}
Is what appears in the Import/Export window.
But when I run this - it gives me 25 songs. Maybe there is a problem with the amount of songs the actual Smartlists used - must return?

Shouldn't be...as long as there are enough tracks in the smartlists themselves to meet the requirements
Mine works fine and I've even made a few more because I thought it was a cool idea...no issues here so far
In your code you're missing one set of " after classic rock mix A
Does your real code miss those? that would make sense at least...
