Hi Thorsten,
The file entries are as follows and the task/note/project sub-heads
generally don't have active/inactive timestamps except when a
scheduling/deadline is specified. Thanks.

**** General note entry

what is a date tree? This:
,----
| * <2014-10-28 Di>
`----
?
If the date-tree is the parent and has a timestamp, then the entries
are part of the contents of parent, and you can use this function to
map over the parents
,----[ C-h f org-element-map RET ]
| org-element-map is a compiled Lisp function in `org-element.el'.
|
| (org-element-map DATA TYPES FUN &optional INFO FIRST-MATCH
| NO-RECURSION WITH-AFFILIATED)
|
| Map a function on selected elements or objects. [...]
`----
and this to get their contents
,----[ C-h f org-element-contents RET ]
| org-element-contents is a compiled Lisp function in `org-element.el'.
|
| (org-element-contents ELEMENT)
|
| Extract contents from an ELEMENT.
`----
and then 'org-element-property' and 'org-element-put-property' to get
and set timestamp info from the parent and any other info from the child
entries.

cheers,
Thorsten
