Hi Andre,

I can't help you with your tags-todo view. But your ideal situation
remembers me more an agenda than a tags-todo view. What about:

;; Custom agenda-views
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  '(

    ;; other custom agenda views

    ("x" "Daily Scheduled Task"
      ((agenda "" 
        ((org-agenda-span 1)
         (org-agenda-entry-types '(:deadline :scheduled))
            ;; only deadline and scheduled
         (org-deadline-warning-days 0)
            ;; you didn't specified how you wanted your deadline to
	    ;; appear. If only today and overdued items, set 0 as
	    ;; above; if you want to see them 30 days ahead, set 30; etc.
            ;; By default, scheduled items appear only for today and
            ;; past days (if todo item not done)
         (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote ((agenda time-up priority-down category-up tag-up))))
            ;; Set your sorting strategy
         ; other options like (org-agenda-time-grid nil), etc.
     ))))

))

This should do /almost/ what you want: It shows only deadline and
scheduled items, and you can sort by priority.

But there is one thing that I do not understand in your request (I do
not use priorities). Do you have items *with* deadline/schedule date
*and* no priority, that you don't want to see in your custom agenda
view? Can you explain me the idea behind?

Because in that case, this would not do the trick. By default, *all*
items have a priority of B (see org-default-priority). What you could
decide is to redefine the priority set (org-lowest-priority and
org-highest-priority) by introducing a priority D, and decide to let
org-default-priority be D. 

Best,

François.
