Yes I understand. A very basic problem with cyclic scheduling is that
if you don't mark the entry DONE, then you can get many of those tasks
in your agenda.
One simple way would be to create a separate file and just put those
cyclic tasks for the next two years in there. Emacs Keyboad macros can
be very handy for this:
For example:
Type
* Meeting of the Music association
SCHEDULED: <2006-04-28 Fri>
The goto the beginning of the first line and define a keyboard macro:
C-x ( ; start kbd macro
C-k C-k C-k C-k ; kill two lines
C-y C-y ; yank back two copies
use cursor keys to move to month of second entry time stamp
S-up ; to increase the month by one
C-a <up> ; to get back to the star of the entry
C-x ) ; Finish kbd macro
Then execute the kbd macro 24 times to create this entry for the next 2
years.
