Repeated Multi-day Events

Repeated Multi-day Events

[Joseph Turner]

Hello!

I'd like to mark an event which runs from 4PM on Saturday to 4PM on
Monday each week:

<2024-09-07 Sat 16:00 +1w>--<2024-09-09 Mon 16:00 +1w>

However, org-agenda does not show this event on subsequent weeks.

I recognize that the syntax I tried (adding a repeated to the start and
end timestamps) is problematic, since it's possible to choose different
repeaters for the start and end timestamps, e.g. "+1d" and then "+1w".

This thread proposes using diary sexp syntax:

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Joseph

There is nothing wrong with your timestamp range, AFAIU. However, agenda
simply does not support repeaters in the date ranges. It is a missing feature.

diary-sexp should work.
Also, M-x org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift

Thanks.  Good to know.

Thanks!  I didn't know about org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift.

For now, I'm using the following as a workaround.

<2024-07-20 Sat 16:00-24:00 +1w> <2024-07-21 Sun 0:00-24:00 +1w> <2024-07-22 Mon 0:00-16:00 +1w>
