I'll try to answer that one, under the supervision of the guru... Well, the following works: :PROPERTIES: :var: foo=7 :var+: baz=3 :END: so your syntax looks correct, but AFAIK the `+' is only supported at this stage for the `var' property: you can't take any property and add a `+' to transform it in an accumulative property. Whether this should be restricted by default or open by default, I have no opinion at this stage. I know, however, multivalued properties are sort of already well supported. See http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-the-property-API.html for more info. Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
