Ability to turn Master Valve off before Zone Valve

The current implementation only allows for the master valve to be turned off so many seconds AFTER the program has ended. I have some areas that have automatic drains after the master valve and need a pressure drop to be able to open.

I would like the ability to be able to close the master valve so many seconds BEFORE the zone valve is closed to allow a pressure drop to occur between the master valve and sprinkler heads.

This could be implemented as simply as allowing for the option of negative time (say up to -60sec) before the cycle ends to have the master valve close.

  I would use this, though some thought would need to be given to other zones in the schedule.  EG if zone 1 finishes do not close the main beforehand if another zone starts after zone 1 finishes, or perhaps just scheduling the main separately?
