Hi all,
this is a basic (I think) question about repeating events.
I am looking for an equivalent to other calendar's "change this specific
occurrence" option.
Here is an example.
Assume, I have a repeating event, like a commute:
#+begin_src org
*** Train From Office <2012-01-02 Mo 15:49-17:07 +1w>
#+end_src
Quite often, I need to change that:
1. because I am not commuting (holidays/conference/...)
2. an important meeting postpones the commute
As I aim for the same commuting times every day, I want
1. the repeating event to show in my agenda by default
2. the flexibility to delete or change single occurrences of that
event.
How would be the best way to accomplish both?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Please do read the documentation related to
«org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift» where you can «expand» the
recurring events to distinct single events (followed by a recurring
event).
When you got distinct events, you can modify them as you wish.
It is somewhat «the other way round» but meanwhile I really do like
this method very much since I can add notes and so forth to every
single occurrence as well.

Hello Karl,
thanks for the pointer! This indeed provides the functionality I was
looking for.
Best,
Andreas
