I'd do it that way:

* <2016-06-03 09:00-11:00> Class

... and use org-colone-subtree-with-time-shift to create the others.

But 3 June is *not* a Sunday.  You've asked for a slot on Sundays in the
date range specified.  If you change the 0 to a 5, it will probably
work.  Alternatively, have a look at the 5th of June to see if the item
appeared there.

This works for me but you need to put the time in the headline, as in:

,
| * 2pm-3pm my lecture on really interesting stuff
| <%%(org-class 2016 6 3 2016 7 1 0)>
`

It may be that the <%% line needs to be flush to the left, i.e. no
leading spaces, but I'm not sure.

Note that 0 is a Sunday...

I do not know. That works for me. You mean June 3rd right? Another 
obvious question, is meet.org part of your org-agenda-files?

[O] complex dates (ie schedule a class in a time range)

2016-02-03 Thread Xebar Saram
hi all

im having difficulty understanding how the complex date input works and
would appreciate any help.
What i want is to schedule a class i teach on a sunday from 09:00 to 11:00
between 3/6/2016 to 1/7/2016

from what i can understand i need to use sexp syntax and found and example
online but this is how far i got:

<%%(org-class 2016 6 3 2016 7 1 0)>

even this example that dosent take hours into account dosent appear in my
agenda.

Can anyone give me an example that includes hours and show me how to make
it appear on the agenda?

best!
