I haven't yet had the need to have two locations for an event that I would later want to search on. --Paula

Yes. There's no reason why that shouldn't work. If you want to put two dates into a single Legacy event, then there's no reason why you couldn't. Both dates would be processed by Legacy as dates, so they would be in standard format. The only issue would be choosing the one to be the sort key for ordering events. I.e. the one which actually appears in the Date column of the Event List. Paula commented: "Might be nice, but these sorts of one-off things I would handle by just typing in what I want in either Notes or Over-ride." The problem with that is where you want multiple locations to appear in the location list. At the moment the only way to achieve that is to have one Legacy event for each location. Also, with multiple dates, only one is recognised by Legacy for each Legacy event.
