I just started using Mnemosyne recently; I've had it installed for a
while, but I haven't gotten around to using it because I wanted more
portability. Trying to get more portability by using index cards and
the SM-2 algorithm isn't exactly pleasant. Anyhow, in my attempt, I
had to learn the SM-2 algorithm. I've read, and I think I understand
fairly well, the SM-2 and SM-5 algorithms as presented on SuperMemo's
website.

When I finally began using Mnemosyne, I expected it to do the last
step of the SM-2 algorithm: Repeat all the cards that scored less than
a four without changing the grade (for interval calculation purposes)
initially given that day until all cards have a score of four. It
didn't. I was confused. I scored most of my cards a three — some had
fours and only one got a five, but Mnemosyne didn't repeat the cards I
gave a three.

Is this skipping of the last step an intentional modification of the
SM-2 algorithm and could it have a detrimental effect on how well I
recall items in future repetitions?
