Hi, Chuck-- This is an area where the app's many bells and whistles start to trip over one another. However, you can get a project (or a sequence) to recur fairly simply.
Create a task, DON'T make it a folder. Give it subtasks. Set the recurrence on the parent task. DO NOT set recurrence on the subtasks. Complete all the subtasks, then complete the parent task. A fresh-uncompleted copy of all of the subtasks then appears. Recurrence always works with a date, but all the subtasks will inherit the parent task's date. There are a LOT of things about this that don't work as expected. For example, there is an option in the Advanced button of the Recurrence tab for the Parent task to automatically recur when all the subtasks are complete-- but it doesn't work. This is why the parent should NOT be a folder (since it's annoying to complete a folder task). If the key feature of what you're looking for is for the recurred copy to reflect relative start times, I think you'll be out of luck. What MLO supports are simple predecessor/successor relationships (in most project management apps, these are Finish-Start relationships). In a more robust application, you could set that relationship with a delay. MLO is a little bit more of a very robust, automated whiteboard than it is a project management application-- and it's an outstanding application when looked at from that perspective. If anyone else is aware of something I've missed or gotten wrong, PLEASE chime in!
