The above applies to the majors as well. Often in earlier MLB schedules games were moved from a Friday or Monday to Sunday to create a doubleheader not on the originally published schedule. The addition of night games also sometimes resulted in schedule revisions, as did the legalization of Sunday baseball in certain locales. Some of this I have documented.
There are other things too, such as the 1991 MLB season which had the Expos playing several home series as away series due to structural problems at Olympic Stadium. This could be recreated by taking the original schedule and shifting the appropriate series.
I think at one point I had a list of historical MLB seasons which could have such alternative schedules.

If we're asking for schedule file changes for the split season format, then let's ask for a 'park' field to be added so that alternative sites for home games can finally be recreated. MLB has many examples of this, the most notable being the Cleveland Indians who for many years split its home games between League Park and Cleveland Stadium.
