Depends on what you mean with "combine".  You can combine as you wish
using Lisp, e.g. with `and' or `or', but that will probably not give you
the semantics you want.

So you want a block that repeats in a certain interval, right?  I would
have to think about how to get this in an easy way, but yes - I don't
think it would be a trivial combination of predefined functions.

How is the repetition interval defined - something like "every month",
or more complicated?


Michael.
