Although it worked, without the warning about the month-long gaps it was a bit hard to navigate. It was easier to navigate a full year of complete agenda weeks. Its a shame I'm the only one to have noticed how handy the (L) Timeline feature is ;-) Its output was (is) nice and clean. It was the first thing I tried when I was looking to set up an appointment several months down the road. I suppose I could do my own "recurrences" by hand. Can you be more specific on what is so handy about the timeline format, that you do not get in the agenda? Is it only the notice about the left-out days? Or other things as well?
Yes, the left-out days provide visual relief. However, probably some other sort of visual break -- for instance at the month boundaries -- would work as well. Either a space, or a month title. Something to keep the eye from sliding right past date changes.
I looked at the various agenda-view options, but didn't see any "month" setting other than to set how many days show up. By month I don't mean a full-blown grid calendar (though that would be nice!) but the weekly format with spacers (note or space) whenever the month changed.
And of course, being able to review the whole year from the start. But I understand I could achieve that with a customized view.
Thanks! Mark
