Good, at least I did not overlook the possibility.

My current approach is to have a relatively simple elisp function that copies the relevant info (here: time) into a temporary property, based on matching tags. With this a column view on this temporary property does the job. It's not quite finished yet, once it's ripe I will ask for comments here. >> Background: >> >> I am currently designing two university courses that cover roughly the same >> topics.

Hm. How would I then share topics and activities between the different courses?
