Understood.

Is there any reason why it has no defined purpose?

"Only display it on the first day and be silent on the others" seems
like an appropriate interpretation of the combination.

Thanks a lot - looks better already.

If it is not too big an issue, I'd very much appreciate the option to
have them displayed with proper indentation and without the (X/Y).

Thanks. That is a bit better.

And I happen to agree with you. One of the things in which or Org is
absolutely superior is entering or changing dates.

It is the properties that I generally found a bit cumbersome to deal
with, but maybe I'll just solve this with a small LISP function to take
care of the inserting of events, including property drawers and so on.

Georg
