Hello RM,

Each task you enter is a single, separate task. When you enter two tasks in 
two separate areas of the outline, as subtasks of two separate projects, 
they are separate tasks and you can't link them so that completing one 
automatically completes the other. Therefore, in your example, you'll need 
to find some way of entering "learn song XYZ" in one place and making it 
relevant to both projects (play song for mum's birthday and learn the 
piano) or both contexts (relationships and piano playing skill).

You could use a single task and tag it with the Contexts of "relationships" 
and "piano-skill".

It seems to me, though, that playing the piano for the birthday is 
dependent on learning the piano to a high enough level and learning the 
song. I'd set up a project (a branch in your outline) for learning the 
piano to that level and then a separate project for continued learning 
beyond that goal:

Project A - learn song XYZ

Step 1 - buy a piano

Step 2 - scales

Step 3 - learn song XYZ

Project B - play song XYZ at birthday (you could consider using 
dependencies and making the start of this project dependent on project A 
step 3 - More important to get the start and due dates right for each step, 
though)

Step 1 - Arrange birthday party

Step 2 - bring song book

Step 3 - Play song XYZ

Project C - continued piano to then next level

Step 1 - more scales and arpeggios

Step 2 - more songs

Step 3 - Play Bach at the Royal Albert Hall 


Those are my thoughts. Hope that helps.
Happy Christmas.
