Going from top to bottom:
1. If you want the schedule generator to attempt to plug away until it finds a working schedule, change 'auto_retry=false' to 'auto_retry=true'. (Going forward, I'm going to refer to operations like this one as 'setting auto_retry to true'.)
2. Under the general heading, set interleague and balanced to the desired settings. (Note that these settings don't change what the scheduler does, just what it writes to the file. Your settings in-game will have to match.)
3. Under the general heading, set the league structure. You can find a description of the format at this link:
Out of the Park Developments Online Manuals
4. Under the divisional-series, subleague-series, and interleague-series headings, set the preferred series length for each kind of opponent, and the minimum number of series. (Currently, the minimum number of series is two.) The scheduler will schedule as many series of the preferred length as possible against each opponent, scheduling one shorter series to make up any shortfall against the desired numbers.
5. Under the break heading, set up the break days. If you aren't using week-aware mode, just set the first three options (break_days, all_star_percentage, and all_star_length). Note that some break days are required, because I still haven't quite worked out how to do perfectly compact schedules.
6. If you want to use week-aware scheduling, remove the semicolons in front of 'all_star_day_of_week', 'start_day_of_week', and 'off_days_of_week'. Set them accordingly. Note that you'll still need regular break days to help the scheduler fit everything in, and week-aware mode takes significantly longer to assemble a schedule.
7. Set up the length of the schedule under the schedule heading. The numbers you give are the number of games each team will play against a certain class of opponent. The scheduler may adjust these upward if it can't figure out how to fit opposing teams to games.
8. Set up the intra-day scheduling of games under the time heading. Games will be scheduled to start between first_start and last_start, on the hours and half-hours plus start_offset (e.g. with the settings in settings.ini, games will be scheduled between 1105 and 2105, including at times like 1735). simultaneous_games controls the number of games which will start at the same time. Other games will start in the next slot.
