There are many proponents of either minute-level scheduling or day-level scheduling. I prefer day-level scheduling: - research shows that sleep is important in memorisation - with minute-level scheduling you can have the feeling that the scheduler sneaks up extra work behind your back during the day. You can never be sure that you're 'done' with all the scheduled cards for the day. This being said, the architecture in 2.0 is flexible enough to support plugins with minute level schedulers. I probably won't be the one writing them in the near future though :-) > So, my question is as follows: How about adding the option to tweak > the initial interval for each grade in the settings and to write the > next time gap above each button in Mnemosyne 2.0?

After a while, you develop an intuitive feeling for the grades. Also, reading the intervals each time I find time consuming. People will also start second-guessing the algorithm, and you would need to explain the intricacies of the algorithm in order to help them understand. Hope this explains my reasoning for the default settings. Still. everything is customisable with plugins should you so desire.
