Well, yes, but that still throws away all the headings. E.g.

* Task 1
** TODO Do A
** Other stuff
* Task 2
** TODO Do B
** TODO Do C
   SCHEDULED: <2015-05-31 Sun>

becomes (after C-c a t):

* TODO Do A
* TODO Do B

What I would like to get is

* Task 1
** TODO Do A
* Task 2
** TODO Do B

The sparse tree is what you get with C-c \ t (org-sparse-tree). For the
above example, you get:

* Task 1
** TODO Do A
* Task 2
** TODO Do B
** TODO Do C
   SCHEDULED: <2015-05-31 Sun>

so the structure is conserved like I want, but even with..

.. the scheduled items are still included (because the todo-* settings
apply only to the Agenda view, not the sparse tree view).


Best,
