The concern I have is if a program is split up into different numbers
of parts for different showings.  Part 3 of a 6-hour show split into 6
parts isn't the same as part 3 if the show is split into 3 parts.  I
don't know how likely the case of splits into different numbers of
parts is, but I do have at least one show in my current listings that
is scheduled for split and unsplit showings.  Either way I don't feel
strongly about it.
