You can choose to have interleague games or not, and you can choose to have a balanced schedule or not. Beyond that, the game does its thing to calculate the schedule.

Considering the almost unlimited number of possible league alignments, how would the schedule generator even know where to begin? It's possible to have so many teams in the other league that you'd wind up with very few games inside the league. The best bet is for a generator where you could input some of your parameter directly and then have it create the schedule, but that's some complicated stuff.

In your case, with six team divisions, you could use real NL schedules from between 1977-92 as a starting point. Keep the intradivisional games where appropriate and add interdivisional and interleague games as desired. At least you're not having to create the entire schedule from scratch.

Do you mean schedule lengths, formats, or actual files? You can have one subleage playing one number of games and the other playing a different number. You can set up the league schedule file with different schedule formats for each subleague if you wanted; i.e. one subleague plays a balanced schedule while the other plays a divisional schedule.
