In 2.0, you could write a plugin to achieve this. However, I'm not sure it's a good idea to have this functionality in the core program (i.e. not in an optional plugin), as tweaking the numerical parameters of the algorithm could have unexpected consequences over time. > Secondly, (and this might be a dumb question), I have a vague memory of > reading about some form of automated cloze deletion, does that exist? > Right now I just copypaste the sentence in and replace a word with ___, > sometimes more than once.

If you use the cloze card type in 2.0, Mnemosyne knows that they are derived from the same information and not schedule them on the same day. > Thanks, and thanks Peter for a great program.
