I have scheduled reminders for things that occur weekly over a period
of months. The problem is, that each of these scheduled items appears
under the current day in the agenda view and the multiplier (eg 6x,
5x) keeps going up.
What I want is each of these scheduled items to appear only on the
days that they occur in the agenda view.
Here is an example of an org file with a schedule in it.
* Class Times
** Class
SCHEDULED: <2010-09-28 Tue 12:30-13:48 +1w>
** Class
SCHEDULED: <2010-09-23 Thu 12:30-13:48 +1w>
Her is an example of the agenda view for today that shows all of the tasks.
647: Sched. 6x: Class
760: Sched. 6x: Class
755: Sched. 6x: Class
788.12: Sched. 5x: Class
886: Sched. 5x: Class
647: Sched. 4x: Class
760: Sched. 4x: Class
755: Sched. 4x: Class
788.12: Sched. 3x: Class
888.12: Sched. 3x: Class
647: Sched. 2x: Class
760: Sched. 2x: Class
755: Sched. 2x: Class
I have tried setting (org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done t) in my
.emacs file with no luck. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dustin

Hi Dustin,
Just remove the SCHEDULED: from the task and it should do what you want.
SCHEDULED: tends to be more for TODO action items.

I used scheduling to put all such items in my agenda, and I also
tagged them as todo's or appointments. I just mark them as done and
they're automatically rescheduled. No scheduler multiplier shows up as
long as I stay on top of marking the items as done.
I didn't realize notes with an active timestamp would be included in
the agenda. It makes sense, and nowhere in the manual mentioned a note
having to have a TODO keyword to show up... I just sort of imposed the
structure on my file.
I think I'll drop the TODO keywords from these sorts of items.
My question is, will headings with TODO keywords and an active
timestamp show up, even /without/ scheduling?
(And I realized I could easily answer my own question. Posting here
for posterity.)
The answer is yes. But if one is going to all the trouble of a TODO
keyword (which enables nifty features like logging, so I can tell when
a class was cancelled by using "DEFER" instead of "DONE"), one might
as well use scheduling, too. Only if you don't want to keep track of
marking items as done should one drop scheduling and keywords.

Yes (as you have noted). Anything with an active timestamp (SCHEDULED,
DEADLINE, and appointments) will show up in the agenda. Each type,
however, has a different behavior. There is an FAQ on this:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#scheduled-vs-deadline-vs-timestamp
Best,
Matt

I don't who's the author of it, but -- maybe since the new lists --, the
structure is wrong in that section: all 3 "items" are numbered 1, instead of
the sequence 1 2 3.
Best regards,
Seb
