Hi,

I tried to setup my own block agenda and I'm facing some problems:

Here's the custom settings in org-agenda-custom-commands:

("h" "Agenda for today (MYWN)" ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Calendar") (org-agenda-span (quote day)) (org-agenda-entry-types (quote (:timestamp))) (org-agenda-time-grid (quote ("t"))))) (agenda "" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Critical Now") (org-agenda-entry-types (quote (:deadline))) (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (deadline-down priority-down))) (org-agenda-time-grid nil) (org-deadline-warning-days 0))) (agenda "" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Opportunity Now max. 100") (org-agenda-entry-types (quote (:scheduled))) (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (scheduled-down priority-down))) (org-agenda-time-grid nil) (org-agenda-max-entries 100)))) nil nil) ("n" " Agenda and all TODO's" ((agenda "" nil) (alltodo "" nil)) nil))))

What I want to achieve is a daily Agenda view of 3 things:

1 Timegrid with appointments for "day X"

2 All tasks having a deadline on "day X" or before (sorted by priority)

3 All tasks scheduled on "day X" or before (sorted by priority) - limited to 100 entries :-(

My problems:

1) "day X" - if I have the cursor in one of the 3 blocks of the agenda and type e. g. "F" to change the date to tomorrow, only this block will change its date, not the other ones. If one of the other blocks already had a date different from today, it will be reset to today when rebuilding the agenda.

How can I define them, so that all blocks have the same date, which can be chosen with the calendar like in "normal" agendas?

2) My custom headers (defined with org-agenda-overriding-header) are not shown. Instead, above each block there is only written the date like "Thursday 29 August 2013"

3) I would like to restrict block 3 (scheduled tasks) to priorities A-C (I'm also having D and E). How could I do that?

4) for block 3, I would like to split it into 2 parts:

a) all tasks scheduled on "day X" sorted priority-down

b) all tasks scheduled in the past, sorted priority-down and then scheduled-down

Unfortunately, I do not know how to set the criteria for "day X" / "before day X"

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards

Martin
