It's still not a great solution because it's rather fragile. It really does start at the start date and step through to the finish date, counting OMITs. If you have movable OMITs, that can play havoc with the results. If you count over thousands of days, Remind can get a bit slow. In practice, you'll need to tweak the reminder at the start of each school term or school year so you don't need to keep multiple-years' worth of OMITs. However, see the man page for the "garbage-day" problem. That is solved quite nicely with the new function.
