As far as I understand it, this cannot be done. You can have several columnview captures, provided that you have several column views defined in different subtrees. But there is no notion of "a column view relative to a sparse tree". > Background: > > I am currently designing two university courses that cover roughly the same > topics.

I would rather use a different *subtree* for each course, thus allowing different columnviews for each course. HTH, -- Bastien
