One way to do it is to create the first event, then call org-clone-subtree-with-timeshift, which is bound to C-c C-x c. This will prompt you for the number of repeats, and the time shift. For example, I have three labs and two lectures, repeating weekly for 16 weeks. So I created five entries as fourth level headings, with the date and time of for the first week scheduled. Then I moved up to the preceding third level heading, C-c C-x c, entered 16 for repetitions, and +1w for time shift, and I had 16 weeks of labs and lectures scheduled. ie., I started with this: ** My Course Spring 2010 *** Week One **** Lecture SCHEDULED: <2010-01-12 Tue 9:30-10:45> **** Lecture SCHEDULED: <2010-01-14 Thu 9:30-10:45> **** Lab SCHEDULED: <2010-01-12 Tue 12:30-15:15> **** Lab SCHEDULED: <2010-01-14 Thu 12:30-15:15> **** Lab SCHEDULED: <2010-01-13 Wed 8:00-10:45> Then moved point to "Week One" and called C-c C-x c.
