The middle section of the time bar is ambiguous. It could be thought of as after sunrise but could also be thought of as before sunset just as correctly. Try this experiment:
Drag an ON marker from the left side of a time bar upwards and watch the status bar to see what the schedule entry is. When the time mark is over the bottom part of the bar, you are creating an After Sunset entry. At the border between the lower gray section and the middle yellow, you are creating an At Sunset entry. Drag into the yellow selection and HCA shows a Before Sunset entry. Keep going and at the upper gray and yellow boundary you have an At Sunrise entry. Drag further up and you get a Before Sunrise entry. Don't drop the time marker yet! Drag it back down into the yellow section of the time bar. Now you are creating a After Sunrise time.
The Visual Scheduler notes the crossings from one section of the time bar to another as you drag. Drag from After Sunset into the yellow part of the time bar and you create a Before Sunset entry. Drag from Before Sunrise into the yellow part of the time bar and you create an After Sunrise entry.
This becomes more obvious by trying it a few times.
