Randomize trials, but always keep the last one the same

[Hester Duffy]

Hi Eline,

Could you not just present the first four trials as a list which can be
randomised, and then the final trial as a separate stand-alone event with
its own procedure? That is, have a list of four trials, and then a second
list consisting only of the Relax trial?
