There are multi-value properties in Org-mode and an API exists with related functions get, put, add, remove and member-in. ,------------------------------------------------------ | http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-the-property-API.html `------------------------------------------------------ So you should be able to have a property "offering" with more than one season, and build a sparse tree by checking if the season at hand is member in that property. -- cheers, Thorsten
