I would probably clone the entry once and set it for Wednesday and let
the weekly repeater continue for next Tuesday.

This is what I have been doing...but it's not very elegant and
potentially confusing when I encounter it later. It also throws off my
time management numbers.
Can anyone supply a better solution?

If you are looking for an exclusively org solution, this won't satisfy.
But here's how I would do it:
o go to the agenda, move to the item and press <RET> to visit it.
o copy/paste the subtree (C-c C-x M-w and C-c C-x C-y).
o In one copy, advance the date by a week (to skip tomorrow's reminder).
o In the other, advance the date to Wed and delete the repeater.
HTH,
Nick
PS. To paraphrase Bernt: "Repeat after me: It's just text."
Every time I start thinking of all kinds of Rube-Goldbergesque
solutions to simple problems, I whack myself on the head with
Bernt's reminder and my sanity is restored !-)

That's what I would do too. Also, I suggest making this entry an "habit" with
org-habit to see if you like it.

i've been using the org-agenda-date-later function to schedule things later.
I think it's what you're looking for. It's not bound to anything, but I bind
it to ")" via
(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map ")" 'org-agenda-date-later)

Thanks, Luke but I don't think that works. I want a command that will move the event forward a day but still keep the repeat at a set interval from the original day. It's still something I find I need to do frequently but have no way to do other than manually. =(
