As a first note, make sure to reimport the schedule files into the game with the changes made. They cannot take effect until the game loads them. Related to that is the issue of from where you load the schedules. If you load them from anywhere besides the game Schedules folder it should be no issue. But...

If you load from the Schedules folder, make sure any old versions with the same parameters are not in there because the game will automatically cycle through all schedules it finds in that folder that fit the specified parameters. If you just change the singe PEBA file, no problem. With a second LRS file (a2), I recommend making a "storage" subfolder in the Schedules folder and putting the original LRS schedule (a1) in that. If both are just in the Schedules folder the game will alternate between the two.

Yes, simply change the "start_day" parameter (and do not forget the adding one to allstar_game_day too). That will just pick up an move the whole schedule. Whereas now it would have a start date somewhere between Mar27 & Apr2, an ASG between Jul11 & Jul17, and an end date between Sep24 & Sep30, it will be changed to a start date somewhere between Mar31 & Apr6, an ASG between Jul16 & Jul22 (the ASG possible range moves up by one more day because it was shifted one day too), and an end date between Sep28 & Oct4. I hope this is what you were meaning to have.

You should also note that to make sure the ASG is never earlier than Aug3, I moved the start date for the new LRS schedule from the first Monday on or after May1 to the first Monday on or after May2. Without doing that the ASG would occasionally be on Aug2. If that is okay, then you could just change the start date info in the file like you will do for the PEBA. If you keep it, you presumably would want to shift the MD to match the new LRS. I assumed that a single day shift would be insignificant.
