[O] Filling a list of dates in a spreadsheet
Hi folks, I'm putting together a spreadsheet in org-mode. This is the general format: |--+---+| | Date | Field One | Field Two | |--+---+| | [2016-02-07 Sun] | || | [2016-02-14 Sun] | || | [A few lines]| || | [A few more lines] | || | [2016-12-25 Sun] | || |--+---++ The date column needs to have a list of dates for every Sunday this year. In a traditional spreadsheet program there would be a function to 'fill' the series of dates automatically. I can't see anything in org-mode that would do this. Am I missing something, or will I just have to do it manually? Thanks! Cameron Horsburgh
Re: [O] ob-lilypond
This is very exciting. I use LilyPond a lot for various projects and I think integration with orgmode is an obvious solution to a problem I hope to find very soon! LilyPond is largely written in Scheme and I'm pretty sure a few of the devs use emacs. There are some interesting emacs/Lily projects around, not least Nicolas Sceaux' lyqi-mode which does some pretty groovy things, including midi keyboard input via rumor. I'm looking forward to having a chance to play with this. Well done, and thank you!

Thanks - I'm no LilyPond expert myself, and so a heads-up from a more proficient LilyPond user would be great. Likewise the ins and outs of LilyPond-mode. That said, it is working well for me and my use-case, and it is great to be generating music and score out of org-mode - it feels a good fit, which is testament to the flexability of org-babel and org-mode. Part of me is tempted to push for immediate integration so that this is released with Emacs24 (we could push bug fixes throughout the fall), however this may be too much code for just before an Org-mode release. Thanks for sharing! -- Eric I'll leave that decision to you, but certainly if the software is useful to others, I am happy to see it distributed.

Perhaps I should bite the bullet and approach the Lilypond user mailing list to see if there is any interest there? Regards Martyn Martyn Jago martyn.jago at btinternet.com writes: ...
[Orgmode] Editing body text in MobileOrg

[Orgmode] Problem pushing to org-mobile
Hi folks, For the last week I haven't been able to push to my WebDAV account. When I run M-x org-mobile-push it seems to get stuck creating an agenda file and fails with the message 'org-agenda-skip-if: Invalid regexp: Unmatched [ or [^ ' I've tried a few things to nail the problem down. I've removed (most) of my files from the agenda list, leaving only files I know have worked recently. I've run git-bisect against a version I know to have worked and the same error appears every time, including the known good one. So I'm going to assume I have a problem with my set up.

[Orgmode] Adding time to deadline and schedule timestamps
Hi folks, I'm trying to get a little more control over my DEADLINE and SCHEDULED timestamps. Specifically, I'd like to be able to add the time (not just the date) when I hit C-c C-d or C-c C-s. I tried adding the prefix, which is how you would do it when putting in a plain timestamp (C-u C-c .) However, this combo deletes any schedule or deadline property the note might have. If I use C-c C-d/s and try to type the time in at the prompt it is ignored. However, I can manually add it to the timestamp afterwards and everything works as expected. Is there a way to automatically add the time? This would seem to be a very natural thing to be able to do, especially for deadlines. -- Cameron Horsburgh Blog: http://spiritcry.wordpress.com/ ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Hi Ian, This tutorial was great. I've been using bzr for most of my text files (including org) for some time now, and I'm glad I'm not the only one! I picked up on a couple of things I hadn't thought of, so thanks! I just want to point out a ssmall typo.

You need the bzr fast-export plugin. | ` I think you mean the 'fast import' plug-in. The rest of the paragraph makes this pretty clear, but I can see some poor newbie trying to figure this out!

You could have multiple copies of .emacs to achieve various states, I think but then you will need to define /all/ the variables to their default values at least in some of those files explicitly so they can be reset from whatever you have set them to. A variable not set in .emacs would stay at it's set value (whether set by another copy of .emacs or manually.) In reality I have never needed to so I may not even fully understand your issue and if any of what I said made sense. :-/ I thought as much! What I (and I think the OP) is looking for is a way to load a modified version of .emacs without having to reboot, but with the guarantee that all of the changes will be effective. As you say, variable declarations that have been removed from .emacs will not be taken into account. It's a moot point, I guess---by far the majority of my Emacs boot time is spent loading things in .emacs anyway, so I doubt any time could be saved if what I wanted were possible. -- Cameron Horsburgh Blog: http://spiritcry.wordpress.com/ ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Empty lines between headers
On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 07:46:21AM +0100, Carsten Dominik wrote: Hi Cameron, a relatively recent change is causing this new behavior. The default is now to automatically insert an empty line if the current headline does also have an empty line before it. So If you have an empty line before header 1, then you will get an empty line before header 2. However, if you then go back and remove the empty line before header 2 and afterwards insert a header 3, no empty line will be inserted. The same is true for plain list items. It seems to me that this is the best behavior, but if you always prefer no empty line, customize the variable `org-blank-before-new-entry'. Ah, I could SWEAR I tried getting rid of blank lines, but it seems I didn't. Now to customise that variable and report my customisation. The idea you had about org-mode spyware isn't so bad.
