Hi John, Many thanks for your quick reply! I knew about the .until() option, but it's not quite what I was after though. From the readme: "Individual rules may optionally specify an until date, which is a date that that individual rule is no longer effective". I need the rule to remain effective for the next occurrence of the event. Think of it this way: what if I have a weekly meeting every Monday between 9.30am and 10.30am and I do .occurs_at?(Time.now) on a Monday @ 10am? What I'm after is a way to specify the duration of each occurrence, but perhaps I'm better off storing this separately? But then how to deal with a schedule with multiple rules (where each rule might have a different duration)?
