Thanks Dwight. I did some digging in this group and found a thread where you assisted someone else with this issue via Advanced filtering, which I use for many of my views so I am familiar with it. I got the following advanced filter working well for me in my Today view. The only issue is that with this view, the "Include closed" checkbox does not seem to work to show the closed contexts, which I think has to do with my logic. But, I am fine with that, since I created another custom view to show only my "~evening-weekday" and "~weekend" tasks at any time, ignoring the context hours. So I think I have this overall work now how I want. This is great, as now my "Today" view really only shows me things I can do right now. And I don't have to put start date/times on everything individually to get my weeknight/weekend items off my daytime view until the right time. This is my first attempt at using closed hours, I like it!
